Saturdays...

I've always thought that Saturdays were really weird days. They are like this strange, in-between day that you never really know how to spend. You feel like you waste the day if you sleep in too late, but you feel like you waste your resting time if you get up too early.

Since they are such weird days, I usually devote a portion of them to some sort of art or craft project, a portion to homework, and a portion to whatever else I feel like doing. Arts/crafts and homework are pretty standard, though...

Since it is April already, we decided that our window snowflakes should come down and something more colorful and season-appropriate should go up. Today my roomies and I are making coffee filter sun-catchers. They look pretty sweet, drying on their newspaper

Last Saturday I spent the afternoon dyeing some wool yarn fun colors with kool-aid. It worked out pretty well, as far as I can tell. It isn't bleeding color when it gets wet, which is really great. I attempted to dye some cotton with kool-aid as well. That did not turn out so well, since you need a special kind of fiber-penetrating dye for it to work.

Here's a lovely photograph of how it turned out...I'll post pictures of the mitten-things when I finish them. :)

A few Saturdays ago I made a kite...that was interesting...I haven't gotten it to fly yet, since I have decided to only fly it on weekends, and there hasn't been a windy-enough-weekend-day yet. Soon, though...very soon...

So, now you have a picture into my Saturdays...sort of... I'm going back to dishes, dinosaur mac and cheese, sun-catchers, and homework. Hope you have a great day too!

P.S.

What do you do with your Saturdays?
