Last Day on the Cape
August 8th, 2008 by SimoneFirst of all, I owe a huge apology to My Big Mouth at mucky-fingers.blogspot.com. She generously gave me the Brilliante Weblog award. I think I had too many tabs open and got my blogs mixed up. At My Big Mouth you can find all kinds of interesting little tidbits covering the crafty life in California. The author has a penchant for vintage things and currently is discovering the fine art of cake decorating.
Today is my last full day on Cape Cod and it looks like it will actually be a beach day. My husband’s family gets together every year on Cape Cod. We generally average 22 people at dinner. For these reunions I always pack a project bag with supplies for early morning crafting. My intent is to distract the kids from the seductive television set in the next room with a fun and creative alternative.
This year the bag was filled with: watercolors, markers, pencils, acrylics, oil pastels, crayons, drawing paper, construction paper, one sheet of watercolor paper, Mod Podge, Sculpey, Ed Emberley’s Drawing Book, the Usborne Book of Art Skills, clothespins, tape and other sundry things. And here are some of our works:
Invasion of the Sculpey Creatures and their accessories
A shell box to store the creatures
A shell pendant featuring this year’s beach find. To capture a shell, use the technique described here.

I’m definitely not ready to return yet. . .
