Button it!

Hi all,
Daisy had a school visit yesterday to the Centre for Life in Newcastle.  It is a fab hands on museum for children.  She kept talking about the dinosaur exhibition and they also had a workshop where they made their own felt.  I may have to try it with her here.
Over at Creative craft, it's our 4th blogaversary and our theme is anything goes.  I have made a blue button bunny.  I glued the buttons onto fabric and then used some sticks I found on a beach in Scotland when we were on holiday at the top and bottom.  In case you haven't already guessed, this is for Martha and I have also made a pink heart for Daisy.
See you later.

Cackle, cackle...

Hi all,
Well, the girls are at school and nursery, so I have a day of housework ahead of me.  How nice!
I am at least on time for this week's Incy Wincy post.  Our theme is Halloween, and I have made a treat bag topper, using an image called Witch Sign by one of our sponsors, Limited Runs.  I was going to colour the witch in blue for Martha, as that is her favourite colour, but forgot and went with the traditional purple and green.  I realise that this is very simple, but I haven't had an awful lot of time to spare.
See you later.

Ooops!

Hi all,

Well, this week has been very busy.  I had some work on Thursday at a school I had never taught at before. I had a lovely time, although the class were a bit 'lively', as you might say!  We went to a local show on Saturday, which had craft stalls, animal shows and a small fair.  The girls had a lovely time.
Now, I'm very late with this Incy Wincy card as there will be a new theme tomorrow, but I just looked at my blog and realised that I hadn't posted this.  Ooops and sorry to my teamies.  Our theme was sweets, and I took for my inspiration the foam ice cream sweets I used to have in a 10p mix up when I was younger.  The image is a precoloured oe by The Paper Shelter.
See you tomorrow.

Sweet teddy

Hi all,
The girls are in school and nursery, and so I am doing some crafting to try and keep on top of my DT work and preparation for the clubs I run.
Over at Creative Craft, we are sponsored by StampArt by Kathryne, and I am using a fantastic image by hers, called MERRY BERRY.  I have made a tag.  I have made a few Christmas cards and tags now, but the trouble is, I can't remember where I have put them.  Ooops!
See you later.

Say it with flowers

Hi all,
I hope you had a good weekend.  We went to a christening yesterday of the son of hubby's best friend. It was nice to meet up with people we hadn't seen in a while.
Over at Incy Wincy this week, our theme is to give thanks.  I have used an image from our sponsor, Delicious Doodles.
See you later.

A bit crabby

Hi all,
Well, another week has started.  They seem to be flying by at the moment.
Over at Incy wincy, we have a fantastic picture inspiration challenge for you.  I seem to be running out of time with everything at the moment, so have made a very quick and simple tag, using the sun from the picture to inspire the shape and colours.  The image is Happy Crabby by our sponsor, 2Cute Ink.
See you later.

Sparkly shoes

Hi all,
Wow, two posts in a row.  Maybe I am getting back to normal.  Martha is at nursery and Daisy is at school, so I thought I would post this before sorting out the activities I will be doing in craft club tomorrow after school.  At least 10 children come after school for an hour and love getting stuck in.  Daisy always seems to go off on tangents and never ends up with what she was copying, but that shows imagination, I suppose!
Over at Creative Craft, our theme is to use ribbon.  Easy, you would think, especially as I thought the theme up!  Well, I made the card and realised I had no ribbon on it, so had to do it again.  I was given the shoe topper years ago, but it is lovely and sparkly.  The ribbon is from a bunch of flowers I received and the papers are Webster's Pages.
See you later.
