Arts and Crafts

Summer always brings out the creative in me. I don't know if it's the warm weather and beautiful scenery or the fact that I have about fifty times more time than I do during the rest of the year (which is filled with school, singing, and tests) but I love making things. I always have even when I was little with my craft box Grandma Brown gave me. These are a couple of the things that I have been up to lately.

Neisah and I are living together in Provo for the summer. Neisah and our room mate Jenny came up with this idea that we would paint a mural of the beach for our apartment. Since we can't actually paint on the walls, we bought some butcher paper and painted on that instead. Then we hung it on the wall behind the couch. It actually turned out pretty good and it makes the apartment a little more homey.




The other project I've finished is an afghan for my sister Rivka. Last summer, I went to go visit her family in Iowa. While I was there, we went shopping for yarn to make her this afghan. Don't worry, a year later it is finally done. Now she just has to come visit me to get the finished product.
