Our Sofa ....

I have been using my camera today to take some photographs I can work from, for my children's book ... well maybe not this one!

I think my vintage sofa (left at my request from the previous owner) is a great setting for many of our family adventures, especially those involving books or just talking together ... Come on Mum, sit down!

and I have also been working in something for the sofa - so take a good look at these 'before' pics! And take a peak at the sewing project, below -

Sofa so good!

It's not really a great day to leap off  the sofa and go outside! So we are getting the Hama beads out, and I may well do some drawing. Look out for a big change to this sofa to make it even more cosy to sit on, with a great big new cushion which has no gap in the middle. They don't make them like this any more, so i will be keeping hold of the original sprung seat cushions too!

Nativity time - feeling christmassy?

Well it was a lovely evening when my little girls stepped out for all to see in their mummy-made costumes, so of course I took the camera along as one does at such special times!

Mary did very well despite me not giving her lessons in stairs-and-long-dresses! My favourite grown-up costume was the chicken, what did you like best?
