Martha Stewart has come out with some lovely craft kits. I found them at Big Lots for $2 each so I picked up several. Abby has made lots of glittery greeting cards with birds and flowers, and Phoebe has been busy making puppets and pom-pom critters. Oddly enough, the pom-pom animals proved to be the most time consuming and difficult. We made a pig, chicken, mouse, and rooster. Three of them are nowhere to be found. I think they are in hiding because someone did the poor chicken in. I had to take pictures because it was just so ludicrous and frightening! To think that something like this could take place in my very own kitchen! 
I’ll let you know how the investigation turns out. Somehow, I don’t think this is really what Martha had in mind when she created these lovely kits.
Oh Ginger! You really should post a graphic image warning at the top of this post! The wanton violence! *shudders*
And my experience with those craft kits? We bought a bunch of the pompom animal ones to do with our Wed night kids club at church. The kids were primary age (grades 1-3) but they were completely incapable of making these without tons of help. Hecksakes, I was running around like a lunatic from child to child while they all moaned how they “didn’t get it” or “couldn’t do it.” I never could figure out the swan myself. Sooo, I have to say it wasn’t an unqualified success.
I think Martha secretly makes these things really difficult so we’ll all marvel at how crafty *she* is, rather than have fun ourselves. But hey, maybe I’m just grumpy due to the whole swan thing.

How can you show such gruesome pictures on your blog? I mean it is a crime scene! I’d be looking over my shoulder if I was you.
