Arts and Crafts
Kate Kessler (otherwise known and UnderTheSky) http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/underthesky talked me into taking a boatload of multi-colored tissue paper and pipe cleaner, saying that “making Chenille flowers is fun and easy”. Lies. All lies. Either I have an IQ lower than a monkey on crack, or these so-called “easy arts and crafts” websites are totally misrepresenting themselves. Easy? hardly. How do you stagger sheets and fold diagonally in an accordian style to end up with a flat triangular sheet? Honestly. I am simply not cut out to be an art and crafts mom. I will stick to being a loud, boring, bossy 'keep your room clean” mom and simply send my kids over to Jennifer Stewards house and beg her daughters to teach my kids how to be clever and craftsy. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/steward/

It's a conspiracy!
The crafty people keep trying to tell us craft-challenged folks that it's easy. I think they're just trying to wear us down until we end up in rubber rooms in frustration. After people keep telling me time and time again "how easy it is", I give in and try only to spend a small fortune making a mess. You can read my blog about my latest effort trying to sew. I'm with you girl. Don't let the crafty-crafters suck you in!
