Craft Night

Today I finished making these lunchtime place mats, that I had started at craft night a few weeks ago.



Our little craft group started just under a year ago now, with 5 crafty mums and and a very crafty dentist. And it's been a pleasure to invite a few extras to our group since then. We try to meet monthly, either working on similar projects (coasters, bags, etc.) or to just do our own thing. It's pretty cruisey and loads of fun. Here are a few other things I've made at craft night.



Paper art. A silhouette of Mr Moo's 1965 Volvo cut from a vintage atlas.



Transfer paper dolls. This was very fun night, these are just two that I made of the kids, but I've made about eleven others. I love this product.





Brooches. Made of felt, fabric and old buttons. Unbelievably, I finished both of these on the night and still had time for tea, cake and japanese pattern books!



A fabric bucket. Made from coloured hessian. Now filled with lego blocks in the playroom.

Another craft night tomorrow night.
Now..... what to make???

Holiday family fun: The Princess and The Frog

Great day, we took the kids to the cinema, in all it’s holiday madness, to see “The Princess and The Frog"



First of all we surprised them with some t-shirts whipped up last night with the help of this product.

I loooved the movie. I asked the following question: “What did you think of the movie?”

Spunky Monkey: Well Mum, it was a bit girly. I only liked the boy frog.

Miss Moo Moo: I really liked Tiana (What about the rest of the movie?) Hmmm, I’m not really sure, maybe.

Mr Moo: I thought it was alright

In Mr Moo speak ‘alright’ is the same as ‘looved it’, well perhaps just ‘liked it a lot’ He did have a pretty big smile on his face. It was just that kind of fun day.
