Tails...

Today I made my kids tails.

Nothing turns a crabby mood around like some felt and embroidery floss...

The kids have been obsessed with tails.
And I will spare the details on how Fynn gave himself a tail yesterday...

But needless to say, I had to spring into crafty mama action.

And it was well worth the half an hour of crafting.

Sometimes I forget that I enjoy making things by hand. And sometimes I forget that the simpler the toy or gift, the more use it gets. I've made quilts before, but the bigger the project, the less it entices me. But these little projects? Totally manageable. And dare I say... kind of fun...

{Fynn says he'll take his off "in a few days"... so I think it was a success!}
