How Crafty Are We?

This is us... and we are pretty crafty sometimes.
Monday night our activity was to do something crafty. We ventured to Michael's with the intention of our project being stenciling shirts. Steve is pretty random with his interests and actually had most of the stuff. We just had to get a shirt for me and ended up getting a stencil and paint. Steve made the suggestion that I should do a dinosaur and I kinda liked the idea, so I went with it.
We got back and started on our project...
Steve was pretty intense on the wording he was working on for his hoodie. He printed out several options and once decided, glued it to poster board and cut it out with an exact-o knife...
My project was pretty easy with just a stencil, I'll take a pre-cut stencil any day...
Again, very intent and focused...
Pretending to be as intent as Steve...
If you recall our experience with the gingerbread houses, you will remember that Steve takes a bit longer on his involved projects than I do on my over simplified way of doing things. I did finish a bit before him and was left to entertain myself, which usually included pictures...
We finished up our projects and I was actually pretty impressed with the way they turned out. Steve liked the blatant statement of putting the word "hoodie" on his hoodie. Remember the days of kindergarten when everything is labeled? We are reverting to those days...

I would just like to mention that this was all Steve's idea and have to give him some credit for being willing to do crafty things with me. It provides a little diversity into our activities and I like it!
