Mom, I'm Bored Jar

This is a jar you can make to give your kids ideas of things to do when they are bored. There are printable ideas, but I recommend adding your own as well. You may want to leave some of their ideas out, too, depending on your own personal preference.

Sock Monkeys!

To make a sock monkey, you will need one pair of socks (one sock for the body and legs and the other is for the arms, tail, mouth, and ears)

Craft and Gift Idea Night

NOVEMBER 9

Come and get some ideas for crafts and gifts. We have some really cute ideas to share with you! We will be starting at 6:30 pm. Afterwards, if you would like to stay and work on a project of your own (for example if you are making something for your children for Christmas and you don't want them to see you working on it, you can bring it that night.)

WARD SUPER SATURDAY

This Super Saturday activity is for the entire ward to attend. Each auxiliary will have projects to work on (High Priests, Elders, Young Men, Young Women, Primary, and Relief Society). We need your help! Please come and have fun working together! We will meet at the church at 10, then break up into groups and work on a wide variety of projects. Hope to see you there!

sewing class

Tuesday night (Sept 7) we will be making pillowcase dresses at the church at 6:30. The Young Women will be joining us as well. If you want to make this project, you will need to purchase fabric (measure from the chest down to the length you want it and add several inches for seam allowances. If you want two coordinating fabrics, you will need 10 inches. You can also add embellishments such as rick rack or ribbon if you want. For the top straps you can use ribbon or a little more fabric.

Remember, you can bring any project you want, if you aren't interested in this particular project. Come and sew with us! It's really a lot of fun. If you don't know how to sew, this is a great opportunity to try it out. This is a very easy project that would make a great gift.

Please remember to bring a sewing machine if you have one, an extension cord if you have one, and scissors, fabric, thread, etc... If you have a rotary cutter and mat, that would be great to bring also.

Upcoming Activities

School is starting soon and we'll all be getting back into our normal routines! Here is what we have planned for the rest of this year:
On September 7th we will be combining with the Young Women to make pillowcase dresses for little girls, and tops for the Young Women. We'll add pictures here soon so you can see what they look like.
In October (12th) we will be having a geneology class to teach us more about the new things the church has to offer. Also we will be participating with the entire ward in a Humanitarian Project day which will be a lot of fun (9th or 16th).
In November (9th)we will have a class to give you ideas of things you can make or do for Christmas gifts. We will also have another sewing night (16th).
Dec 7th is our Christmas Dinner.
