Crafting on…

Until I started preparing this post I felt I hadn’t really achieved much this past week. Maybe it is just all the rain we have been having, it’s putting a bit of a dampener on my spirits! Normally I love the rain; the sound, smell and coziness it inspires (snuggling down to read a good book or having cuddles with the kids) but I think I am waterlogged.

Luckily, the sun came out from behind the clouds yesterday. And not so luckily, hives came out all over Master D’s skin. He is covered in them, poor chicken! They seem to be clearing with the help of some antihistamine thankfully.

So with all the rain (and now hives) we have been playing inside lots, and while the children play I’ve been making little St Patrick’s Day bags to pop some little treats in *smile* (inspired by this blog).

 Doing some needlework… I’m not sure what I will do with them yet, but I do enjoy making them…

And finishing off some whimsical doors. Husband of mine asked what I plan to do with all the doors ~ I think he is worried they will start taking over the place! But most of these ones have homes to go to already…

One of my next projects will be knitting up a farm!  I’m joining Carrie from Crafty Moms Share in a Knitted Farm Swap ~ would you like to join in?

Gum tree organisers

While walking during the week Master D and I collected bark and leaves from some local gum trees. Their scent is delicious – makes me feel like I am in the bush.

When we got home I pulled out a couple of tins and Master D got decorating, while Little Miss Q played with some of our supplies 🙂

It was a bit of trial and error to get our them to stick. We tried glue and wrapping them around the tins, but we didn’t have much luck keeping them in place.

We ended up laying out masking tape and putting our bark and leaves on it, before wrapping it around the tins.

Now we have great paint brush and pen holders!

Happy crafting, Kelly
