Day Five - God's Eyes and Bracelets

Today's craft for Camp E.D.G.E. was God's Eyes for the little ones and macrame bracelets/bookmarks for the older ones.

Last night I prepped a few things for today. The wooden craft sticks were glued to form x's. Yarn was cut to manageable lengths for little hands to manage. For the macrame: the pieces of hemp string were cut to size as well.
.
I think the God's Eyes turned out very nice. The little ones needed help tieing knots to start and finish their lengths of yarn and some of them didn't quite get the hang of how to wrap the yarn, but they are all very proud of what they've made!
.
The older kids enjoyed the macrame too! Some of them took longer picking out 4 pony beads in colors they liked than the actual knotting itself! But they seemed to have fun.

It's been a whirlwind of a week! VBS is over and we're off for BC. We'll be spending a week and a bit with G's family at his Mom's and for a wedding for one of his cousin's children and then a bit less than a week with mine at some wonderful cabins on Arrow Lake in Nakusp. I am actually looking forward to the long drive to Toronto to catch our plane. I think it will be a nice break from the busyness of this past week. And I'll be knitting!
