There are times when I welcome the rain this time of year I think because it gives me a guilt-free excuse to stay inside and enjoy indoor time. I have been summer quilting and crafting with the kids this spring which has kept us moderate lately. The frenzy of early spring has passed and with most of our vegetables in the ground, I don't feel like I am losing time in the garden if weather keeps us inside.
Last week my daughter wanted to make puppets. We didn't have any popsicle sticks on hand so our Lincoln Logs became the sticks. Each family member got a puppet and a signature t-shirt (or dress), each 'puppet' was taped to a lincoln log, and much family entertainment followed.
They have provided for some much needed comic relief during tense dinnertime moments. Now they are perched on the windowsill over the kitchen sink, reminding me during some reflective moments not to take it all too seriously.

Children, definitely help us keep life in perspective! Enjoy more creativity. It's one of the best gifts we can send them away with.
Blessings, Debbie
Love it. I can imagine all the little play. What a great idea. Will file that one away!
oh my goodness, those puppets are adorable!
And that fabric in the first photo is some of my favorite fabric ever- I have it in a few places in my home. :)
What a fun idea! I, too, could use some comic relief around here at times. I don't know why it is so easy to forget that. Thanks for the reminder. Maybe we need more puppets, wouldn't hurt!
Good times! Kids always know how to make us laugh!
perfect puppets. love the improvisation of the lincoln logs. perfect.
These are adorable! My next sewing project is a "puppet curtain." Maybe we'll christen it with a "family puppet" show!
