Fun with potatoes




The weather this weekend has been just awful. We postponed our annual block party because it is so chilly out. It is currently pouring outside and I even had to turn on the heat this morning!

Anyway, I figured it would be fun to post a few photos of Leah working on a recent craft project (you know, when the weather was still summer-like)! It's called potato stamping and all you do is cut a potato lengthwise, cut or use a cooking cutter to make it into a desired shape, paint it with some fabric paint and stamp it on a t-shirt. Instant art.

You are the crafty queen! Very fun idea :0)

I can't imagine needing the heat. My AC is blasting away as I paint and it's still hot here in OH ;0)

This sounds cool. I don't know if I have ever tried this one before. BTW I am switching to the beta blog. One of the moms on my links did it and she seemed to get through it with her blog in tact so I just went for it. They said they will e-mail me when it is finished. I'll let you know.

I remember doing that in elementary school! But I don't think mine turned out that well. You crafty girls!!
