And then I’m done. Painted wooden trays using acrylic paint. The idea was for them to paint a design but we ran out of time s I’ve temporarily added wooden shapes – we can finish them another time. This pompom wreath is a work in progress but I really like the idea. It was going […]
Sock Snowmen Christmas Craft
I’m not sure where to credit this idea to, although I got it from my friends Katy and Sarah. It’s great. (When i find a link, I’ll add it 🙂 ) Fill a sports sock to nearly the heel with rice and tie a knot. Then tie a white string (or a scarf) around the […]
Orange Pomanders Christmas Craft
Lovely again. I’ve chucked the rest of the cranberries in there now as well and it smells divine. Here are my two favourite glass bead snowflakes. Enjoyed making these very much.
Christmas Craft Light Tree & Glass Art
I love our light tree; I bought it last year and it amuses me to hang silly things on something otherwise intended to be ‘terribly tasteful’. I had though, this year, added two ornaments, two lovely birds I bought months ago, in memory of Freddie and that other missing child. Hard to believe only 2/3s […]
Very Easy Kids Sweet Making Craft #12
A surprisingly good way of keeping 4 children busy for a short amount of time. Lots of dark chocolate. Sprinkles. Glace Cheries. Mini Marshmallows. Rockie Road Chocolate. Ta-da! (We then added sprinkles). They are better done in blobs as done in one piece you can see marshmallows when you break it – but hey 🙂 […]
Popcorn & Cranberry Christmas Craft
The morning is best drawn a veil over for now but while I stomped off in a huff, the girls made gingerbread. We ate it all, so perhaps we’ll add a photo of more tomorrow and Fran has promised to send me the link. We can go for an edit then 🙂 (And here it […]
Christmas Hama Beads Craft
Well, if I’m honest, we’ve not done it but here is a whole batch of Christmas Hama Bead Patterns from days of yore, with a special appearance by “Santiclors” designed by a very young Gwenny.
Make a Fireplace Christmas Craft
Or how to make sure Father Christmas can get into your house if you don’t have a chimney. In our slightly nomadic past, which ended abruptly almost 5 years ago when we bought this house, we always managed to rent houses with chimneys, making it nice and easy for the great man to access the […]
Incidental Education
We’re sitting at the table doing pin craft and Amelie wants to know if there will ever be a third world war. We talk about that a bit, how things have changed since Max and I were growing up, how then it wasn’t that long since WW2 and that had been not so long after […]
Christmas Characters Pom Pom Craft
We’re busy here, doing better than you might think at enjoying each others company and being together. After being hectically busy, trade pretty much stopped when the Daily Mail started banging on about the weather so I was able to come home and be with the kids and Max hasn’t been so stretched either. We […]
