Cat In The Hat Bracelet

A little poem…

 

The sun did not shine.

It was too wet to play.





So we sat in the house

All that cold, cold, wet day.

I sat there with V.

We sat there, we two.

And I said “How I wish we had something to do!”

So I searched in my ribbon, and cut a few strands,

and by gosh, by golly I also had a chain in my hand.

So we read Cat In The Hat,

and made this pretty bracelet

while we sat, and sat,

and adorned our wrists without a fret.

It may be possible I love Dr. Seuss a little too much… perhaps? ;)

V & I decided that our bracelet idea – SCREAMED Dr. Seuss – and Cat In The Hat!!  With it’s unique quirkiness, it is a fun little craft to accompany the book.  We are Seuss-acle to the max now!!

So wanna make one too?!  We’ll show you how – and with just a few supplies you’ll be Seuss-afied too :)  Plus, Dr. Seuss’ birthday is coming up next month, so now you are rolling and representing in style!

What you’ll need to make the Cat In The Hat Bracelet:

  • The Cat in the Hat book (for reading & inspiration!)
  • a Single Link Child’s Chain Bracelet
  • Coordinating ribbon colors (we used 6 of those 2 for $1 ones from the craft store in varying widths)
    • teal, light blue, coral, red, silver, & white
  • scissors
  • optional: ruler

How to make the Cat In The Hat Bracelet:

  • Using your scissors, cut off ribbon pieces in various lengths.  Ours varied from 1 1/2 inches – 2 1/2 inches.  We didn’t measure, we just cut.  But, don’t cut them too short, you have to be able to grab the two ends to knot them.
  • Tie the ribbon pieces to the chains (be sure to double knot them or they immediately come loose). We chose a pattern order (V’s thing lately – patterns patterns everywhere :)  Our pattern was red, coral, silver, white, teal, & then blue.  We repeated until we went all the way around the bracelet.
  • Voila! a quirky & fun bracelet for the Seuss in you!

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
