Who wants to play ball?

Another great day in NJ. Cleaning out the toys in the garage and I found a nice collection of balls to make my butterfly.

Tomorrow is Evan's First Communion. I'm not sure I'll get a butterfly done but I'll try!

Chalky

The hardest part if this butterfly was finding something to stand on to take the photo!

Hula La Hoop Butterfly

To nice to be inside today. It's 60 degrees with a slight breeze. So a made butterflies from things in the garage.

A few hula hoops, frisbees, jump rope and voila!!

Safety Fly

I've been saving this one for a few weeks now. I have a huge collection of safety pins - let me know if you ever need one. It must be my girl scout training to purchase oversized boxes of safety pins and matches!!

Stand On Your Head

This butterfly was hanging upside down in a new book about butterflies that I picked up. It was so graceful looking, I just had to sketch it.

What a different view of the world when you hang upside down!

Sockious Butterfly

Since I spent most of the evening doing laundry I thought I could do a butterfly with something from the piles. The socks are always last (I really hate matching socks) so I thought I could use them.

From the looks of this picture I would say some of my kids need new socks!!

Shroomy Butterfly

This one was a request from Megan. I was making Chicken Marsala and I had a real nice pile of mushrooms to work. The funniest part is that this is butterfly number two since Adam said the first one wasn't good enough. He thought I could better. He was right, I like this one much better.

Sometimes it's good to have someone push you a little harder!
