Crafty Crows

I've got a fun Autumn craft for you all. This week I made a family of black crows. All you need are some tiny cups, paint, googly eyes, and a little bit of craft foam. I added a few extra details with ribbon and buttons. I found this craft on Amanda's Crafts, so go on over and get the directions and other great ideas. I'm hoping to make the scarecrow this week. But I really don't want him to shoo my family of crows away from me.
Here's a funny story. When I was about 3 years old, there was a stuffed scarecrow at our grocery store. He would say, "Shoo, Shoo, Get Away" whenever someone walked by. I used to come home from the grocery store and cry because the scarecrow didn't like me. I though he was saying "Say-Say, Go Away."
Here is the Mother Crow fretting over her burnt corn muffins. Here is the Father Crow. He's watching a baseball game and no one, not even a Scarecrow can stop him.

This is the baby chomping on his corn syrup dipped-pacifier.... Have a great weekend everybody!

Sailor,
These are so cute. I love them.
The Littles will be so happy to see them, too.
I hope you are happy and having a good time with all your activities.
We miss you and Westie, too.

DEar Sailor, what a clever craft. I should like to make two, one of Gramps and the other of myself. I wonder if one should look like a cat.There is a proper looking kitty on our front rock and seems determined to reside with us. We cannot feed him because then he would be a pet. So he just fends for himself. I think crafts are very good for people. Using one's hands to create is excellent. President Dieter Uctdorff agrees. Love Grams

I love this craft Sailor! It is really cute. My favorite is the mother crow with her little apron. Thanks for the great craft idea!

Sailor,
What a cute craft. Isn't funny how the bird world is just like the real world. Mommy cooking, Daddy watching TV and the little baby sucking his pacifier!
Too funny! Thanks for sharing your talents!
