or if I'm a momma so that I can do kiddie things with my craft.
But I'm feeling much bliss when the two collide.
Even if I do have to make a little extra encouragement to finish up a project when the little guy is ready to be done.
Aiden made these hearts one afternoon when I was in the studio.
Pretty simple. textured a large piece of rolled out clay. used a cookie cutter for individual hearts and stamped "from Aiden" on the back of each.
Once they were bisqued, I set up an evening for us to add glaze-- and also it was the last day possible if they were going to be cool in time for Valentine's day.
A project definitely has a different feeling from "casual, no biggie" to "must finish if were going to use it"
We made it a little fun by sharing a can of root beer. His in a shot glass.
He really only struggled with the last three. He was requesting to go to bed. But once his teeth were brushed he came back and wanted to finish adding color to the last three so that they weren't left white.
Once glazed we put them in a little baggie with a yummy piece of chocolate.
For V Day- we don't do much, but I made a yummy dinner for my guys.
Lamb marinated in a dry rub. Asparagus marinated in an Indian recipe and with all those flavors, I just threw in some plain pasta w/ EVOO and sauteed shrooms.
