Our day at the Beach

Kokeshi Doll

Here is the latest addition to the shop.

I'm planning on making a few of these,with a bit of punk pink and blue hair ,in different styles too.

Not that there's much work going on right now,Mairi went back to school on Wednesday and Skye's first day back at daycare was yesterday and I achieved zilch!

I mopped around missing them,the school holidays were so fun and I hate being home alone.

I love what I do,but I find in the solitary nature of having an online business difficult.

Any other extroverts out there running a home business?

How do you stay motivated?

I'm still here,RIP Modem.

On the 13th of April due to an electrical strom our internet stopped working!RRrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!.
It is so frustrating not being able to access the internet and not knowing what the problem is.
We are back on line now and the prob is sorted.
Missed you guys!!!
It was good to live without the internet for a while too.
A little time away made me realise I've been obsessing a little too much(bloody Librians we have next to no sense of proportion) about my little page in cyberspace and I've set myself a couple of rules ...like do not turn the computer on before the school run in the morning.....always ends in tears!
So in running order this is what we've been up to.
Hosted a party for 35 5yo's.(Indoors due to the shocking weather)
We went camping with friend's.
Made some bunting for Mairi's friend Sarah who turned 5 on the 10th of April.

Check out the photo's.:)

Mairi turn's 5!
We had a garden themed party,as she really wanted to be the sun,unfortunalty it has poured rain here for nearly 2 weeks,so we had it inside.

Buddy Bag sewn by Mairi

Mairi's bag is finished,with a little help from mum.
It's a little tote with a hand embroidered love heart.
Mairi had the idea to create this for her buddy,Jai at big school.Now it's finished she's to scared to give it to her.She's wants me to ask Jai's mum for her address so we can pop it in the post.Oh..the social intricacies of big school!
Well done,little one,you did a great job!

Mairi's library bag

Back from the brink,finally,I hate being sick.

We've all had bad colds in our house and mystery 24 hour viruses.Yuk!

Anyway,we have finally finished Mairi's library bag,I'm very proud of it,although it hasn't photographed very well.

We had such fun making it together.

The Photo shoot

Yay! We are finally up and running!

I have been wanting to start a blog for a while and now Mairi(Miu Miu) is finally at school,it's happened.

I have wanted to start this blog to meet like-minded crafty mummys and their wee ones and to keep me on track with my own projects.

Well,as I said before Mairi,my eldest has just started kindy last week and already I have had to keep her home,as this morning we all woke up with dreadful colds.

In true 41/2 year old style though,by 10am she seemed fine and I was pulling my hair out,so we had a photo shoot of my stuff in the backyard.Fun was had by all and she was really helpful.Here are some of the results.

Please forgive me for causing neck strain,but for the life of me,I can't figure out how to rotate or delete these images once they have been uploaded.....so off to blogland they go.
