Mayday

A few days late... just thought I'd share the mayday celebration we had with some NAMI friends. We were rained out on the 1st so we celebrated on the 3rd which turned out to be the perfect day for an outdoor celebration.

Playfood Smores

Here are my smores for the upcoming NAMI exchange. I'm pretty excited about how they turned out. You can't tell in the picture, but the graham crackers are made of an upholstery fabric that has little dots on it (like the holes in graham crackers), the chocolate bar is cotton knit and I'm not quite sure of the marshmallows (all the fabrics are from Arts & Scraps). I think it might be some sort of wool, Goldie thinks it's fleece. I'll have to get some other opinions. But whatever it is, it's perfect for a play marshmallow.

Craft Exchange

As I am getting ready for the upcoming NAMI craft exchange I realized that I never posted what I received from the last one. Here it is:

Snail from Jane, Mushrooms from Brynn, Playmat from Goldie with Tree from Chelsea (with garden set the girls got from Brynn for their birthday)

NAMI Postcard Exchange

We joined a postcard exchange with some NAMI buddies. Here is Lillian working on her postcards. We used painters tape & watercolors.

Here are the finished cards. Phoebe used paints, but her process was too messy to catch on camera:

Here are some of the cards we received today:
