Really and truly I’m mid making some little cardigans for Ben, Nina and Kit but now that Ben is properly into cloth nappies I needed something for putting his terry bum wipes into. I’ve got an awful lot of felting yarn, so I thought I really should have another go at making a pot. So […]
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 […]
Daffodils at WedEd
Wednesday this week marked a a big improvement in things generally. Not only was I able to drive myself to WedEd or the first time since having Ben but he was also manageable enough for me to be able to get on with being part of the educational offerings again.So this week I brought “Daffodils” […]
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, […]
Mothers Day Card Crafts
This year I thought it would be good to reclaim Mother’s Day, given that last year it was right up there with one of the saddest ‘ignore it’ days of the year. I know the girls and Max found it hard to know how to deal with it. Given I’m also trying to get back […]
St Patrick Day craft.
One or other of the children pointed out that with rainbows and green as his theme, we should have called Ben Patrick instead. I did try, but no one would have it at the time 🙂 Today I wanted to do something crafty with the girls and got as far as pulling out some inspiration, […]
Two weeks old & been to WedEd.
So Ben is two weeks old. It seems quite amazing that all that stress and worry turned into a baby and being at home and everything being really quite normal. I look, it is quite obvious, about ten years younger. I hadn’t realised quite what the time had done to me. I don’t know when […]
Christmas PomPom Delight
A while ago I wrote about these fabulous pompom makers which I bought as a slight indulgence for a bit of Xmas crafty silliness. They’ve been worth their weight in £1 coins though and we’ve had masses of fun with them already, as have a quantity of people who have visited. Pom pom making is […]
Christmas Camp 2011
I’ve got a group of friends who I met online when Maddy was tiny, using now wildly outdated ways of connecting with like-minded souls such as yahoo groups (before Facebook and Twitter, imagine!). They became real life friends remarkably quickly. We did our first camp together, some of us, when Amelie was 4 months old […]
Christmas Beaded Elves
Next up on the Christmas Crafts list was these Beaded Elves. I bought some wooden beads from another eBay seller (trying very hard to support small businesses this year where I can). I had planned to make Fimo faces but the beads were cute and easy. The girls made the hats though. These are the […]
