Snowmen and the Independence Day Weekend

We had a very busy Independence Day weekend - busy and good. Late Friday afternoon, I made my first snowman of the weekend. He was a tall snowman made out of the sleeves of two different types of sweaters.

The sleeve of a white sweater made his body and the sleeve and band from a Fair Isle sweater made his hat and scarf.

On Saturday morning, I made a bottle cap snowman (the one with sheet music) and a light bulb snowman.

Saturday afternoon, we went to the annual party that our neighbors throw. I didn't get an pictures of the girls because they spent most of their time in the backyard. But here are Chris and Kate's two adorable children.

I think K was the one who instigate H's tears.

Doesn't their daughter M have the most stunning eyes?

After the party, I had a photo shoot. Sunday morning we went to church. Sunday evening we went to fireworks.

Monday morning, I got up early and made the short sweater snowman then I worked on photos from the Saturday evening photo shoot. Monday afternoon, we went to the house of some friends for a pool party.

Monday evening, we went to more fireworks.

Hubby had yesterday off. I spent the day finishing photos from the weekend and making one last snowman (the dictionary page bottle cap snowman).

P.S. These snowman make 23-25.

The First Tulips of Spring and Snowman 20

I am afraid it is really  hard to see but these tulips are glued onto some marbleized paper that the kids made. The tulips themselves are a symmetry project. 

Snowman twenty is a vanity light bulb and a glass light shade spray painted white. Her scarf is tulle and her hat is silver poinsettias that I burned the edges of (it wasn't part of the plan but I do like the way it looks). I think I might make another one like her. I really like the way she turned out. Maybe red poinsettias on the one I make for myself.
