Let’s move on to something a little nicer. Remember we were looking at this? Over Friday and the weekend we thought we would have a go at a representation of this picture in…. Hama beads! And here is the finished article. Rather a good piece of collaborative art we thought 🙂 What I loved about […]
St Patrick's Day round up.
Continuing in my theme of always being behind, here is a round up of the crafts we ended up having fun with for St Patrick’s Day. We did manage to find out a bit about the real story too, mostly because Amelie uttered the importal #homeedfail sentence….. “What’s that story about St Patrick and the […]
Spring Crafts & Rainbow PomPoms
We’ve been mostly hanging out together in the living room this week, either with Lego or crafty stuff once all the music and ordinary work is done. One thing we’ve been really proud of and which was a proper group effort, was this rainbow pom pom banner, made partly in celebration of St Patrick’s Day, […]
Hama Bead OCD moment
I’ve been selling Hama Beads for a very long time now; when I started there was only one other place online to buy them and you had to print off an order form and send it to them. We’d been thoroughly enjoying playing with them for a lot longer than that; the reason I started […]
Midi Hama Bead Give Away
First of all, I’ve horribly late on my prize drawing of the Corolle doll but using my patented testing method of getting the girls to shout out a number and seeing who I actually heard, Aileen is the winner!!!! To get back on track, this next give away is running until Tuesday night only. This […]
Maxi Hama Bead Giveaway
It’s been a while since I’ve had a child in the house who wants to play with Maxi Hama Beads (3+), more is the pity, but we keep a box of them here anyway, for visiting small people or because just occasionally they hit the spot for one of the big kids in some indefinable […]
Hama Bead Designs for Autumn
From time to time me and the girls get creative and start making pretty things with Hama Beads again. This is a good time of year for spooky and autumnal designs, so we’ve been beading merrily over the last few days. The girls had fun making things, most of which I still need to take […]
Royal Wedding Easy Kids Craft in Hama Beads
When I was at school, one of my teachers used to call me “the late Miss Taylor” – as you can see, I’m not renown for being on time or early, so my Royal Wedding craft is suitably too late to actually drum up sales. Ah well 🙂 The girls did these designs today; I’ll […]
Dragon & St George's Day Hama Bead Patterns
These are images from various Hama Bead kits available at CraftMerrily. With grateful thanks to DKL (our first and still our favourite supplier) and Hama DK. I got all behind this year and didn’t make any new ones of our own. I do love the Crocodile and Dragon boards though. Must do more for next […]
Hama Bead Easter Bunnies
I can always rely on Maddy to come up with some brilliant Hama Bead patterns for me and she really went for it this time. Maddy, you are a complete star 🙂 We are just going to stick these together and hang them up now 🙂 Other offerings include Josie’s chicks and her […]
