{Super Saturday Part II}

Some of my neighbors here in the cul-de-sac go to the Branch instead of the ward. Well they were having a "Super Saturday" as well. I asked them to send me an email of what they were doing to see if I would be interested in any of it.

And did it ever. These adorable present decorations caught my eye! I had to have them. Aren't they the cutest thing? It only cost $9 for all three of the blocks with everything on them. When we first got there we had to paint the blocks. Then after they dried we had this power sander to sand the edges. Once that was finished we used an oil base stain to cover the paint to give it that worn look. I have never heard of that, but I am not the crafty so no wonder. Then it was time for the embellishments. I did my own thing and I think it turned out so stinkin' cute! I couldn't have been happier. I can't wait to set up all my Christmas decorations.

I also signed up for the "no knit scarf." I was thinking it was going to be a piece of cake. Turns out the whole thing is made of square knots. Um, I didn't even know what a square knot was. So the beginning took a little while but after I got the hang of it I finished in no time. Well, finished at my house at 11:00 that night. But I love it! I feel so domestic making all of these things. Who would have guessed I could do this kind of thing. I had a great time at the Super Saturday!
