three hundred and forty three

Lest anyone think we live in a crafting utopia, here are the remains from a spectacularly failed Christmas project.

Both girls were so good. They helped collect all the supplies and went through each step patiently with me. But halfway through we all knew it was going to be a bust.

I was impressed at their sense of humor, their attempts to salvage even part of the project and, especially, their willingness to call it a day when it was clear that all was lost.

The project was a failure, but our time spent together was definitely not.
