fleece life-saver, for sofas all-at-sea!



and in progress, looking like the-cat-in-the-hat had a hand in it ...


Which is cool, Daisy loves to read from Dr Seuss books at present, in fact, child-led learning mostly consists of Daisy shadowing me through all my chores, asking, "what does this word say mummy?"

Putting the Cute into Balaclavas!

WE were recently blessed with a set of patterns for balaclavas, many of them jester style, and Daisy was very taken with them and of course then the other girls were too!

Here is Daisy, modelling the hat that Matty chose ... Mary chose the pink fabric and so we used t hat for embellishments to make each one unique!



Mary wears her own, and Matty wears Daisy's, all featuring ribbing made from a recycled T-shirts that was getting small for mary!


And we were warmer on bonfire night too!

Reinstated!

Mary is getting more and more grown-up by the day, Her drawn figures even occasionally get arms now, and are nearly always executed in pink and purple! The eyes have moved on from just being simple dots too ... Spot the tiny legs!



And now she has moved on from simply covering the kitchen counter in wet and over flowing vessels, she can have a turn at the washing up, too!



And she is really enjoying it, too! Do you like washing up?

OUTLINES!



i drew round the girls after dinner, and taped them to the doors - the drawings not the children - so they could set about colouring in.

they were very surpsed at the size of themselves!
