The school spring holidays have got off to a great beginning here with a long weekend. I made a big start on my spring cleaning, had a few shopping outings with Sarah to buy summer clothes/shoes, and worked on a few crafty projects. I have to work this week, but then have a week off work to relax and spend time with the kids. Can’t wait!!
Here are some snapshots of our random crafting over the weekend:
Sashiko stitching on a table runner. I was inspired by the Moda Lamour Circles fabric that I got from Lady Bug Quilt Shop.
Decorating a gift bag with Eiffel Tower Images
Making some little Treat Cups for my nephews 8th Birthday – which has a Magician theme. (I cut out all the 8’s and J’s on an old deck of cards)
Sarah made up a big batch of cupcakes for her cousins Magician Party. She was inspired to make some Magician Hats – she placed two chocolate biscuits on top of the cupcake to form the hat shape. Sarah has recently bought Hello Cupcake with her pocket money – I think she will be inspired to make many more novelty cupcakes!
How cute is everything? I mean everything!!!
lots of fun at your house. love the cup cake holders! yummy…sugar, sugar and more sugar!
Looks like you’ve had a wonderful and creative weekend. I love the sashiko circles you’re embroidering.
Your projects are always the best!
What a clever idea with the deck of cards…looks great with the spotty cupcake cases! A magician’s birthday party sounds like lots of fun 🙂
What completely brilliant ideas! Those treat cups look amazing and I’m sure your nephew will be thrilled with all the effort you and your daughter have gone to.
Gosh you two sure have been busy, the table runner looks oh so very nice, what fabric are you using?. Your neophew is very lucky to have such a talented Aunty and coz and you still have all of Monday to craft and bake.
