ink splotch

Black ink, fold, press.

February 14. Syl and I made a batch of cookies. But, he was wafted away mid butter wrapper counting and so no pictures were taken. BUT the cookies were sooo good. We got the recipe from HERE, but we skipped the sugar and corn syrup and instead cooked down about 3/4 c syrup until it was just past softball (by guestimates) added this to the butter. I also added a pinch of baking soda.

Button books were featured on the craftzine blog. Luckily Becca Mack gave us a pile of glued up buttons she got from another friend. These buttons became the covers of the accordion paged little tomes. We decorated them with stickers and safety envelope patterns.
The dates on these pictures are sooo wrong. This is roundabout February 15 with big bro sick in bed.

This is kind of a "make" but Sol did it himself. Shopping, following the recipe. Like his Mom, he made a lot of changes along the way. Good dinner.

Idea and Questions Jar

Sol, Syl and I wrote down ideas and questions and put them in a jar. Not sure what we will do with them next...

The iphone got dropped in the lake. The home button stopped working. A replacement was bought. Months later, I lost the fear, opened up the old one a replaced the button. Now it works! Yeah. BUT I lost the pictures of a couple "makes." So here it is. Final product not process. Process is here: http://marissalouise.com/wordpress/2011/beehive-cobweb-card-tutorial/

Straw Horns

Again with Stephen Caney. Also from the Stuntology book.

Cut a pointy reed on the end of a straw.

A added holes to his and got different tones.

PLAY.
