Bowties

I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that I am not a crafter.  I don't really have a crafty bone in my body.  Would you believe that I didn't even own a glue gun until about a year ago?  My very crafty younger sister was here visiting and nearly died when she realized I didn't have a glue gun.  We made a late night run to Joann's and I made the big purchase. 

Don't get me wrong, I think crafts look fun.  Believe me when I say that I've 'pinned' my fair share of crafty activities; with the hopes of maybe, possibly attempting one of them.  But crafts scare me.  Maybe this is one of the reasons I have THREE sons and no daughters.  My poor little girls wouldn't have handmade bows or dresses. 

I decided last minute that my THREE little boys needed something special to wear for Easter Sunday.  And what better way to look all spruced up than to wear a bowtie?  We searched every store imagineable for bowties, but came up empty handed.  Sam kept suggesting that I just make THREE bowties, but I the thought of that just made me nervous.  It was now Friday afternoon and we had nothing, so I dug deep and pulled a little craftiness out of nowhere. 

I let the boys each pick a fabric out of my scrap bag (how I even have a scrap bag is beyond me!) and I went to work.  They were thrilled with the outcome, and I must say so was I.  If you don't look too closely these little bowties aren't half bad.

And aren't my THREE boys absolutely handsome?

Our Easter was great.  Eric spoke in church and gave a wonderful talk about our Savior and His Resurrection.  Then we had a fun dinner surrounded by friends.  Easter 2012 was a success, and I may even craft again.
