It's a crafty kind of day!

I am crafting with glitter. And yes, I'm wearing gloves. 

And this is why.

Ahhhhhh! An outbreak! Containing a glitter spill is like trying to contain measles in a world full of anti-vaxxers. Ahh haha. At least I crack myself up :P 

The finished product! It's a timeout bottle for the little hot-headed, temperamental and emotional creature that is my daughter. It's full of water, clear tacky glue, fine glitter, glitter glue, and confetti stars. When she's in the heat of a tantrum, I can shake this baby up, plunk her down with it, and let the swirly-twirly-sparkly magic entrance her long enough to cool her jets so I can *attempt* to navigate those things I think they refer to as "teachable moments" :) 

Here's where I got the instructions to make it:

Can't wait to try it out! 

Bahahaha NOPE! Just kidding. I totally can. Emma's a formidable opponent. 

Anyway, it turned out so well, I made a second one! That way we'll have two for when THAT day arrives. [No, no way... Not my sweet Rory!] 

I also got everything I need today to make a little craft I've had up my sleeve for Emma for quite some time... I got all of the fabric remnants and scraps I need to make her a rag tutu, or a "scrappy skirt". 

I dug through the remnants bins at a couple of craft stores, and I didn't pay more than $3 for any of them! Most were less than a dollar! Just goes to show that fun crafts and cute homemade fashions don't have to break the bank! I'm getting ahead of myself here, though... Let's just see how it turns out! 

But the little project of the day I am most excited about, is this one... 

That's right. This means we're just a LITTLE bit closer to having only ONE kid in diapers! :D 

Whew! What a day. Time now to dial back my creative side and start thinking about sleep :) 

On a side note, however, lots of conversing with dear sweet Emma-bug today, which means I've got just about enough material for Emma Speaks [Vol. 2]...
