Crafts I Can Actually Do!

I love the idea of being crafty. I have multiple craft bins filled with the types of things I imagine one needs to create "things". Unfortunately, the things I create usually don't resemble the things I intended to make. I have the vision in my mind and then there's the "what-the-heck-is-that-supposed-to-be" in my hands. It's discouraging, to say the least. However, I have at last discovered a source for crafts that not only requires many of the items in my craft bin, but that I can actually make!

It's a t.v. show called Mr. Maker (http://www.mistermaker.com/). Forget that it targets pre-schoolers. Some of his crafts are downright cool. And I have to admit, I get just as excited as Hannah about trying them out. The other day we made watercolours in reflection that rival some of my best artwork. Even though these crafts are designed for 3 year-olds, don't be fooled - we worked with pastels just the other day. As if that isn't advanced!
