2011′s 50/52:It took forever to post
SO ANYWAY, I got pregnant at the end of the year, and suddenly all of the time I normally spent on making things was spent feeling terrible or being asleep. So I only managed a couple of things at the very end to push myself up to 40. I think I would have managed 50 if I hadn't been so tired. The sleepiness stuck around through most of January, so even posting about those last few things took too long.
I have a number of things I'd like to do this year, but I can't predict how it will go quite yet.
50/52: Crayons (#40)
I wanted to get my cousin's kids that Crayola crayon maker for Christmas. You put crayon bits in it and it melts them into new swirly crayons. When I was younger, Crayola used to make all kinds of totally awesome crayons - metallics, glitter, swirly ones - but they don't really do that anymore.
Then I read some reviews of the crayon maker, and it seemed like it was a hassle to use. So I decided I'd just make my own. I bought a box of 64 and a bunch of Wilton candy molds. I broke the crayons up and melted them in silicone baking cups and poured the melted wax into the molds. They came out pretty neat!
