The Bubble Dress and the Bucket Hat
It’s been a while since I last updated the blog. But it has been a while since I’ve been sewing, making crafts or baking. Blogging does seem to take a lot of time and effort when the day is all go between the waking and sleeping hours. Anyhow, I did get some sewing done in [...]
Felt Blueberries and Pancakes
So… Miss S decided that she can’t eat blueberry pancakes almost every weekend and not have a set of felt ones to play with. So, I sewed some up yesterday afternoon.
The New Coat

Outlines
Here’s a great idea (it was Mr K’s). Cut out a big piece of paper and get your child to lie on top of it while you trace around his/her body. Give him/her a bunch of crayons and this will keep them occupied for ages! It’s also great to do when they have friends come [...]
