Work in Progress -2

In the evening - every night I have been doing a colour on a set of these - they are going to be Croquet hoops at Little Miss B's party and some for decoration. They are now getting to the interesting stage as they are starting to look like characters from Alice in Wonderland. These two are finished, I have another two 2/3 there and a few little signs to start. I hope I get there.

Cheers

Going Tea Pot-ty

Very hard to photograph but I have made up quite a number of these little tea pot necklaces for the Alice party pags today. The little acrylic faceted tea pots I found on ebay and I have teamed them with a fairly basic white cord and ribbon necklace. I think they look really sweet. Sir Tp has been busy playing with a mate today and Little Miss B has gone to freshen up the flowers in her fairy garden -it is 18 months since we put it in and it needs new flowers and some more fairy friends. She has also done this beautiful picture for the invitations for Grandfriends day at her school.

I think she is just great at her little art projects -only slightly biased .

Cheers for Now

Missing February and a Week

Well i feel deeply ashamed that I have not blogged for a week but sometimes nothing really happens to share with you - thats how it rolls around here. I have been busy this week making this costume for Miss B - hems and buttons for this afternoon. I have been so busy thinking up ideas for her party - I suddenly realised that I havent got her a present yet. So I have been looking on Etsy and found some bits and pieces and deliberating over her desire to Have another Blythe doll. I have created a Monster after introducing her to the blogs CraftyGirl and Bella and Blythe. These two blogs are two of the most delightful young ladies I can imagine and combined with their mums blogs are my latest parenting tip guide. Anyway we have spent the week working on what we will wear at the party (we still have a way to go). This morning we have been working on some decorations - they are spending quality time in the shed with Dad now before being returned to me for what I imagine will be a lot of painting - sigh. I hope to get other stuff done to share with you and I will be back with some pictures of some goodies i have got in the mail during the week

Cheers and I will try not to neglect you this week

Snippets of Saturday

Today has been one of those really rare days during the term where we have kind of just mooched around. Sir TP having just earned his weather badge was keen to do some work on his next badges. So after flicking through his cub book he decided he wanted DH to help him with his Engineering badge and me to help with His cooking badge. As he is a little prone to being unmotivated we have encouraged this sudden spurt of enthusiasm. DH is out with him now at the hobby shop looking for a propeller. And Sir TP with some help from me has prepared some cookie dough to bake when he gets home. He picked the recipe, found and measured all the ingredients, stirred and here are his three balls of dough just before they hit the fridge to rest.

Whilst I was supervising Miss B and I have been working on party favours for the ALice Birthday extravaganza. Sculpey is not our friend - it is so hard to work with but here are our glazed hearts drying. I am sure that today being a hot yucky stormy sort of day is not the best for glazing but hopefully our roaring air conditioner and darkened room will counter balance the heat.

Next job is the araldite for some gemstones and pin backs - lets hope they work

Cheers

Curiooser and Curiouser

I have gradualkly started planning Little Miss B's 6th Birthday so I will be starting to show you bits and pieces as they are ready. We have made up this poster for Pin the Grin on the Cheshire cat - obviously he has left his grin behind somewhere - I wonder where it will pop up.

Cheers
