Pinwheels

A celebration of spring would not be the same without... pinwheels!  They're perfect for breezy days such as today.  My crafty sidekick (daughter M) and I followed this lovely pattern by Heather Bailey.

I suggest using the 18 gauge wire included in Heather's materials list.  I used a 24 gauge wire since I had it on hand, but it kept breaking off when I was twisting it.  Nonetheless, it was a fun project.

My daughter celebrated her golden birthday this month.

I bought her a book, rollerblades and gold craft supplies (she's crafty like her momma).

Celebrate

There are many things to celebrate this month - springtime, kids' spring break, Easter and my daughter's golden birthday.  It's a time for gathering with family and friends and having a party.

My Crafty Corner

I'm doing it... I'm going to sneak in more time and escape to my little corner in my home where I can create and make pretty things.  Even if in the wee hour of the night...
