Stupid Pintrest

Pintrest has giving me a false sense of craftiness.  I look through everyone else's crafts and think "Pshh I can do that"  "oh that's cute, that wouldn't be hard to make at all."   I see the captions "Easy Peasy craft 10 minutes or less" and think "A ten minute craft is just up my ally!"   And it doesn't help things that I live in Utah. I feel like I am the only LDS women/lady/girl that doesn't have a crafting website.  Kudos to me though, I at least have a blog =D.

So after looking through all of these crafts, I finally broke down and made a craft of my own.  I didn't think of it of course, I'm not that crafty yet!

Sock Snowmen



















These are the snowmen that inspired me. And I got the idea from here.



I struggled a bunch just a little bit with making my snowmen round.  The bottom was round and fat but the middle just stayed skinny.  I also didn't have another colored sock for a sweater and white on white just didn't look good. So I decided to pull out my finger paints (yes they are made for kindergartners) and finger painted my sock blue!

All in all I feel like I didn't do too shabby.  Which makes me hopeful that I can pull of my next craft....



I found the trees from here.
