Did you have a good weekend? It certainly went by too fast at our house, but I did manage to spend a few good hours in my craft room on Saturday as well as a quick trip to my favorite antique store (future post in store). While Emma was busy with homework, Josie and I experimented with a couple of dragon crafts from the Nick Jr. website for Chinese New Year.
The first craft is a dragon ribbon streamer. Instructions and a template can be found here.
His tail blends in with our CNY tree, but it's a long red ribbon and we glued yellow pom poms onto the ribbon. This second dragon can also be found on the Nick Jr website. We also added special pom poms and sequins to this dragon.

Such beautiful and friendly looking dragons. Those are great ideas and links. Thank you for them, Josie did a great job. The photos are lovely in front of your CNY tree with the sun shining through. Have a great day!
These are great crafts, I may have to look at doing them with my class. Looks like you girls had fun. I agree, the weekend went too fast. Have a great week.
Just so cute-the dragons and Josie! You were busy this weekend. The tree looks wonderful!
I hope to see your lovely mother today...
Thanks for sharing!
What a cute dragon! Mackenzie and I are going to do it this afternoon!
Happy Monday, Kim--
Thanks for posting all the great ideas for CNY. Tori and I finally finished our decor and tree. I love it that cutie-patootie has her jammies on while crafting. That's when we get our greatest inspiration!
Looks like you had a great beginning to 2012. I hope that your father-in-law is doing okay. It was a blessing that all of you could spend some quality time during the holidays.
Thanks for sharing all your lovely photos of the girls, crafts, and decor. Oh how I wished we lived closer. Tori and Josie (and big sis),and you and I could really get some crafting on!
Much love,
Cindy
Looks like loads of fun :) Youre CNY tree is getting so full and festive. I completely understand why its so hard to take it down each year.
Very cute model you have there. You are such the fun Mom.
You are so creative! Love the post!
Josie looks so happy!
What cute ideas and I love your Chinese New Year tree...I think it might be my favorite. Josie looks adorable and the dragons - WOW!
We have celebrated with CNY since my kids were little but never made a dragon! Another fun craft you've introduced us to, thanks.
Hi Kim,
I agree with Vivian! Josie is a lucky little girl to have such a wonderful Mommie who spends quality time crafting with her and you guys are blessed to have such a sweet little girl! I will have to say that the match was made in HEAVEN wasn't it! My weekend was spent on pain meds sleeping the time away when I finally got relief enough to sleep, ice packs, and lots of soaks in a tub full of hot water as hot as I could stand it!! You have a wonderful week and I love seeing all the craft goodies you come up with!!
Hugs,
She sure is a pretty young lady...such a sweet smile! I love all of the vibrant colors and can't wait to see what's next! ♥♥♥
Oh to craft in that sweet sun room. And with dragons no less...I hope you are enjoying a much less hectic week. Josie your dragons are looking dazzling...smiles...Renee
Those are fabulous crafts! It looks like Josie had sooo much fun helping with them!
Hope you have a great week!
Thanks for the ideas! I just pinned several other ideas on my Pinterest page!
