Random Recreation

September 26, 2010 By Spoonful of Sugar - 27 Comments

 
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!
