Hmmm. Week 5 of the Farmgirl blog-a-thon? Getting Crafty.
Garden Goose has tasked us e-Farmgirls to share something crafty we’ve done lately. I haven’t been too crafty of late, but I certainly love to make stuff.
My annual holiday craft was handmade snow globes (thanks Martha Stewart) using antique Mason jars.
Here’s a pic:
Then this spring, in homage to the fluffy marshmallow candy, I made this Peep Market diorama:
I have been looking for a new project to work on. I have a couple ideas. I’ve been saving up some old jewelry and have been trying to come up with an ornament I can make with the kids.
Over the holidays, I saw a great Christmas tree made from broken pieces of green glass and decorated with old, gaudy costume jewelry. But that’s for the holidays.
I still need a summer project. I’ve been thinking of letting the kids go crazy with their coloring books. I’ve been re-using the paper to wrap gifts. It’s been surprisingly popular, especially at kid parties. And no more expensive paper to buy!

cool ideas. definitely like that diorama though..so adorable..but the mason jar idea is a cool way to reuse an old jar. thanks for sharing!
