~ Crafts : E is for Embroidery ~
, including a few “Engines.” I had meant to order the Fairies of the Field Lacing Cards
, but then I completely forget… (I’ve been doing that a lot lately!)
I still need to finish them up by making them into little dolls… Hopefully this week!
We enjoyed lots of “E” foods this week including Enchiladas, Eggos,
Can you tell that someone just lost her second tooth?
We are moving right along…
Tomorrow morning we will begin another Fun week!
Your embroidery looks GREAT!!! How do you plan to turn them into dolls?!?!?!!
I think it looks like the girls are having tons of fun making their tea time snack!! And a delicious one, at that!
Erica ~ Here is the link to Charlotte's finished Angel Dolls. Aren't they cute?!
Jessica! that embroidery is great!!! I have always wanted to learn how!
Looks great E week!
Another delightful week, bravo!!
How do you do all this, have more kids than me, be pregnant, and then have time to blog about all of it? I just can't seem to keep up.
Way to go Jessica. You are an inspiration!
What a fun week! =)
My daughter wants to be St. Elizabeth Ann Seton for All-Saints Eve, and I am going to use some of these resources so that she/we can learn a bit more about her before the wonderful Holy Day arrives! Thanks!
Excellent E week! I bet you can't pass this recipe up for F week —
Fantastic Fudge
12 oz. chocolate chips
6 oz. butterscotch chips
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/4 tsp. vanilla
1 c. chopped nuts
In a saucepan, melt first 3 ingredients. Remove from heat, add vanilla and nuts. Pour into foil lined square pan. Chill. Cut into squares.
You can be very creative with different Flavors of chips and nuts and dried Fruit!
Looks like fun!!
Can I ask… how do your girls keep their clothes so clean while helping with cooking projects? Or do they get stained but after the photos are taken? 😉 I ask because my four yr old daughter spills stuff on her clothing all the time, and I have a hard time getting stains out for some reason! But that won't stop me from letting her help cook! I need to remember to put an apron on her each time…
LOVE the embroidery! I am going to try with my 5 year old next week during our E week.
You are totally inspiring!!! God continue to shower His graces on your beautiful family.
the embroidery looks great!! super cute you crafty girl.

Jessica,I love the paper dolls! I can't wait to get to E!
Do you plan activities to keep your littlest one busy. I have 2 year old that is into EVERYTHING and soon I will be caring for my brother's 2yo as well. I am searching for interesting busy activities for them. Any ideas?
Thank you everyone!
Jacinta ~ We just might have to try that Fudge! THANKS!!
Angela ~ Our 2 year old is DEFINITELY a challenge. Thankfully he LOVE watching the Signing TIme Videos, and I am able to turn one on each morning for him to watch while I am working with my older children — at least for 30-45 minutes. I feel bad about just turning the TV on, but he is learning all of the signs! =)
I then try to set him up with some "School Time Toys" before he gets into mischief, and when I am organized with this our days go pretty smoothly. I hope that helps! God bless!
Erin ~ I usually do have my girls wear aprons, but this recipe was so basic that I didn't. Depending on what it is they are making, they can get plenty dirty. Dreft stain remover works great! =)
Do you still have the link to the coloring page? Thanks!!
for the Saint Elizabeth Ann, that is!
Amy ~ I never did have a link to that coloring page. I believe it came from the Shrine and was sent to me by a blog reader. I will look for the file and see if I can forward it on to you. 🙂
