Sleddi Spaghetti and Ugly Dolls

Sleddi Spaghetti was Sunday.  It is an event at we put  on every year to raise money and awareness for a branch library that we are hoping to have in our community.  It's a wonderful family event.  There is a spaghetti meal, with Moomer's ice cream, sleding, stories, games and crafts. 

I am the craft lady.  I the past we have done duct tape wallets, funky junky frames, and . . . that's all I can remember right now.  Besides the duct tape the other projects have all been from recycled materials.

This year we made "Ugly Dolls".  I took a huge bag of mismatched socks, a big bin of wool scraps, various sizes of needles, upholstery thread, glue, and scissors.

The kids stuffed the socks with wool scraps and sewed them shut.  They embellished the "dolls" with more wool scraps and googly eyes. 

The kids loved the craft.  Many handstitched on the very forgiving materials for the very first time ever. The creative juices were flowing.  Everyone had a great time making their dolls. 

Another successful craftin' day.
