Domestic Engineer

Since I am a stay at home Mom (Domestic Engineer) I get recruited by my children to complete a variety of projects. Well, Mr. G's project for me a week or so ago was a Chinook Helicopter made from K'nex. Of course it is the final and most difficult project in the book. I thought, "I am a Mommy, I can do this!!" And thus the task began.



Mr. G helped me quite a bit, finding parts and encouraging me to finish. He was having fun creating space ships of his own. By the time we were done.. there were not many pieces left in the box!



This project even has a motor in it so that the blades can move. Pretty cool!!



Mr. G's Star Wars lego dude, even decided to go for a ride. It was a fun project and I am glad to say that Mommies can build cool stuff too!

Sewing with Miss E

Miss E is ready to learn to sew. Thankfully, my Mom came across a great pattern that allows kids to practice sewing and have a great end product they can use! She loved sewing this project with me, her Grandma and her cousin. We all had a great time using up scraps and sewing away! This pattern is free at www.allpeoplequilt.com. I tried to add a link, but no such luck. You can join this site for free and there are quite a few free patterns to download with simple instructions. This project is called the "scrappy strips bag". Enjoy!
