Oak leaves

Stamp made special, just for this. Stamp is made from a small piece of linoleum block, and is about 2 inches.

Chores!

I made up a few rubber stamps to help the kids keep track of what needs done. I am going to try to come up with a point system or something to earn rewards.

Edit:


I buy my supplies at Hobby Lobby but I am sure other craft stores carry the supplies.
I use a Speedball Lino cutting set. I have tried the pink Speedball stamp carving sheets and the white sheets made by Master Carve.
The Speedball sheets I have had seem to be prone to air bubbles so I get the Master Carve more often than not.

You can see what most of these items look like online in the Crafts Etc catalog.(Hobby Lobby)


Good tutorial pictures here.

This looks good too.

Here you can find some pretty good directions.

Rabbits and Water, inspired by a Japanese Kimono stencil.















Five stamps made from stencil that was purchased from the local craft store.

Where have I been?

I have also been crocheting the shrug/wrap. I have about 40 inches or more of what looks like a single crochet black scarf. I thought I had bookmarked the pattern, but can't find it so I am finishing this by memory. If anyone knows where I saw this please let me know. It is simply a pair of sleeves conected by a long flat section you wrap around your shoulders with a cross over in front, back or under one arm.
