Crafting had never been a passion of mine. However, I understand the value of creativity and getting hands-on experience. When the boys were young, we would play kids’ songs and bring out the craft supplies. It was often a chaotic mess. Creative, but chaotic. There was that time when my youngest son became frustrated because something wouldn’t stick to a styrofoam ball. I tried to help him and quickly became frustrated, too. Determined to make that feather or foam letter or whatever it was, stick to that %$&@ ball, I resorted to Super Glue. Of course I applied the Super Glue, not my pre-schooler! I mean, what kind of mother do you think I am?
Soon, my son was frustrated again. It appeared that the Super Glued styrofoam ball had stuck to his t-shirt. Never fear son, Super Mom is here! I gave it a yank. Then, my son yowled like a cat with its tail slammed in a door. Apparently, the Super Glued ball not only stuck to his t-shirt … but also to the skin on his chest.
Fast-, really fast-, forward several years. I now enjoy making (or attempting) some craft projects. The chaos factor still remains.
I like to craft, but I find I do less of it these days. The question is, does your son attempt crafts now?? Lol
No, he sure doesn’t! He is very creative with his video camera, though.
Ah yes.. cats love crafts too! c
They seem to love whatever it is that I am doing.
we all love whatever it is you are doing.
Same to you, C!
I can’t remember Pretty Kitty’s name but I’d like to see his art work. Is that gray tabby his Momma? I love Pretty Kitty. I’m a serious paper crafter. Been addicted since the early 90’s and we won’t even talk about what I’ve spent on supplies…
The gray tabby is a male and not related to Bubbles, the fluffy princess. I have been experimenting with transferring my photos to wood. It’s enjoyable when I’m not frustrated by it. 😉 I’ll show some pictures soon.
I think we all have some crafting horror stories in our history. And cats will ALWAYS be right smack dab in the middle of whatever project (or homework) is in progress!
Spoken like a true cat-lover!
Your kitties make the crafts fun!

Crafting might be when I wish I had a beagle on the floor instead of cats in my face.
awww …. Love your kitties! Hope they’re not getting into any super glue!
Just paint and Modge Podge. 😉
Hey – great discovery finding your blog! Love the super glue story. Bwa-ha-ha! Bet your son doesn’t use super glue ‘lightly’ even as an adult! 😉
He is now 20 and I have never seen him with Super Glue again. 😉
I see you have plenty of helpers there to hand you things. I hope you don’t glue them to the desk! LOL
Oh my, I can imagine the mess I would have had on my hands!! No glue = happy cats.
Now that looks like quite a mess waiting to happen. 🙂 Our clumsy Mr. Fabulous would soon make a disaster out of that table.
Sounds like we need to hear more about Mr. Fabulous on your blog!
