A Week In Pictures

School holidays, hurrah! A little bit of crafty shopping with children in tow, always good for inspiration!

A visit to the park;


With one big and two small Swirls;


A grown up art class with small girls in tow (little man in the creche). Some silk painting for their new rooms;



I managed to have a play at marbeling the silk and embellished it with some salt which I didn't get the time to do last time;



Not a fab finished item but it was fun to experiment and I had to help lots while Elizabeth created this amazing peacock;


And Francesca designed this princess by herself and I copied it onto the silk in gum so she could add the colour herself. I think she looks amazing;



Especially her puckered up, ready for a big kiss with the prince lips!!
I bought some wooden clothes pegs and took them apart and painted them and then put them back together again, complete madness! My fingers were sooooo sore!! I added lots of yummy wooden and felt bits from my stash and now have nearly 100 fancy pegs;



Great for pegging wellies together, the girls have used some to make clips to hold their pictures together and I have stuck some magnet to one and it's now on the fridge with lots of useful lists!
Then we made cake;




Catching up with friends and doing some long awaited decorating....... pics to follow......

What a fab week Daisie. The cakes look scrummy and your girls look like they are gonna be just as artistic and creative as their mummy. xxx
