Super Saturday Creations!

Suzanne = Super Crafty (Sound of shock silences the room!)

I am not sure what has happened to me lately, but my crafty desires have overcome me. We had our Super Saturday with the ward last weekend, and I had to limit myself on what I would be making. Good thing I did, after 4 hours of working, I still had to bring projects home to finish. I am actually quite tickled of my work. Not perfect, but not embarrassing!

This is a bag I made! Super cute and so easy (if you can sew in a straight line!)
I am using it as my scripture bag and I got a ton of compliments on Sunday!

This is a nativity scene that I made for a purpose. It took our family 9, yes 9 years to get a nativity scene in our home for Christmas. I bought it last year after Christmas on sale. Normally $200 set I bought it for $40. It is a white porcelain set and it is very breakable.

So I made this nativity set to entice Shaeler to want to look and touch and destroy. I think that it turned out really cute, and if something falls off, I will just super glue the bad boy together.

Brilliant I tell you, Brilliant!



I have a few other projects I am working on, but I am having the time of my life making things. We ate Top Romen to pay for the Nativity set, but to go from 0 to 2 sets, makes me happy!
I hope you all post what you do for your Super Saturdays or if any "crafty bewitchings" have hit you lately! I would love to know if anyone else has been making something really neat!

I love the nativity set. You did an awesome job. And the bag is really cute. It looks like the perfect size for scriptures. I still have the bag I had when I got my scriptures 21 years ago-sad huh?

I'm sad that our ward isn't doing a super saturday. We didn't really do one last year either and like you, I love to make things. I just don't do it enough-probably cause I'm too lazy!

I wish our ward did Super Saturday different, oh well....less $ I have to come up with right? I've made the bags before and they are cute and easy too! You did a good job.
I need a less breakable nativity too. We have 4 and I love every one. My uncle made us an all white ceramic set that is gorgeous (2peices were broken in one of our moves, I was devistated since there is no way to replace them) my Grandma made me a smaller ceramic white set, my mom gave me a set when we were first married, and a few years ago one of my MIL's got me the willow tree set. I love each of them for different reasons!

Yay for Super Saturdays, and getting crafty!
I especially like the Nativity. I like crafts that are that style.

We do Super Saturdays because I'm in charge of it! We love it!

I'm not sure if I should take pictures or not yet. There may be a few Christmas gifts given to people on my blog, so I've got to decide weather to show them or not.. W'ell see!!

wow, good work. I don't think I could ever make that bag--I don't sew in the slightest. Turned out great.
It's great to have a "kid" nativity. Mariko has hers in her room and every year something breaks. We only have ONE wiseman! oops.

It's fun to make things. I remember how excited I would get when I made up a costume idea for you or Janet.

I am assuming that you are using the soft (Shaeler protected) Nativity Scene for Joyce's Christmas Family Home Evening. It will be perfect. Am I correct?

Keep exploring your hidden talents. I know you have many more that you are yet to discover.

WAY to go you crafty girl! That's all very impressive!

Don't think I've ever heard Jesus/nativity referred to as a "bad boy." Quite a funny play on words....got a laugh out of me!
