Crafts Time

In preparation for the extreme cold winter months of the Pacific Northwest, what better way to pass the time than craft a cozy beanie to warm the brains? That is precisely what crafts time has consisted of the past weeks in the Den. Honing our skills crocheting spools of yarn into attractive heat retaining hats has been both relaxing and challenging. Nonetheless, ample pieces of quality winter headwear have been created.
Beanies aren't the only creation emerging from the Den. We have been trying our hands at carving some wood stamps for printing on note cards too. So far we have made some Halloween stamps and a set of note cards for Shannon's birthday.
Enjoy these cool craft time pics and feel free to comment!
