I like twine. I like its nubbiness, its texture. Especially in the fall. And especially when I find skeins of it in Target's $1 bin area. I also found this cute vase set for a dollar there, last spring I think. I love their shape.
I also liked what they said. But the crooked lettering? Not so much. So I let Leo partially cover them with twine. I had to help straighten up the rows when he was done. And I handled the glue. But the end result are some cute, fall-esque vases perfect for displaying the pretty leaves he collects on our walks. He is fascinated with leaves and always finds some brilliantly colored ones.
I also took some twine and covered an empty soup can.
It'll go with Max to school tomorrow, packed with a few brownies, to thank a lovely friend for taking him, along with her daughter, to the National Book Festival on the National Mall. He had a ball. And remember how I told you he has a thing for Clifford? She waited with him despite the long line and snapped this shot. Max asked me to print it out "big, mommy, I want it big" and place it in a frame for his bedroom. I think I owe her much more than brownies.
