This project took some coaxing to get my sous chefs in the kitchen but once they realized “Mom’s Sushi Project” consisted of candy and rice crispy treats, they were eager to join the fun.  They each made a variety to fill their trays with and even sneaked a few bites inbetween.  Yummy! 

For the nori (seaweed), we used fruit rollups;  The roe (fish eggs) are made out of jelly-beans that were cut in half; the tako (octopus) is actually a gummy candy that came that way – bonus!  The rest of the tidbits include pull-apart licorice, sour fruit bits and Swedish fish, plus, of course, the rice crispies as the rice. 

I’ve been up to more crafting lately than coloring.  These are the two projects that my daughter did at her latest book club.  The idea for the wands came from Give Peas a Chance blog.  I found a variety of ideas for the Monster Book of Monsters post-it note cover from Pinterest.  All the girls at the book club had a great time making them! 

I’ve had a little fun sewing with my Mom lately.  I created a cloth tray that holds my colored images that are ready to be used.  It’s reversible too!  Then I also created a pencil pouch to hold some loose metallic pencils I had my desk.  that’s not reversible – bummer.  But both help me get my desk a little more organized. So that’s a bonus!
