She's crafty!

Like the title from one of Noah's favorite Beastie Boy songs, this ushers in the phase of the crafty SAHM (that's Stay at Home Mom for those of you not in the know) Yup, it's true. I am now officially one of "those" women I talk about. I remember receiving a greeting card from a newly SAHMed friend when I was still in heels and skirts on a daily basis. She made the card. She made the card! As in glitter, glue, little flower stickers, the whole nine yards. I remember thinking that I barely had time to drive by Hallmark, let alone go in and she's making cards. Wow. Now I completely understand. While I haven't taken up scrapbooking (and have vowed never to do so, we'll see how weak I get) I do now fill my days with soap making, baby food making and crafting of various types. So here they are in all their glory, my first SAHM craft project, Bob and Ralph, Gideon's 2 elephant hooks that now adorn his walls and hold up his caps. I am ridiculously proud of these fellas. Spent most of the day getting them just right. Took me hours to craft the heart shaped eyes, the painted toe nails, decide on just the right angle of the grin. Wow. This is my life now? Eish. Old Sarah would have just stuck a couple of push pins in the wall and called it a day, but this new Sarah, this SAHM Sarah with time on her hands, decided only cutsie pootsie elephants would work at holding up precious Gideon's hats. Sheesh, that sounds sick even to me! My next project is sewing a shopping cart cover. This must be how Martha Stewart got her start- time on her hands staying home with her kids, and bitchy due to lack of sleep? Oh crap. This is definitely not a good thing!
