Pj's for my Niece and Nephew

After seeing the Pj's i made the kids my sister asked for personalised ones for her kids

Here is Remi's ones just awaiting me to hem them as she is very little and i need measurements or they will be very long
So Naomi is this what you had in mind?
And the sooner i get those measurements the sooner you get these.

Here are Zane's, i am really pleased with how these ones turned out.

what do you think Omi?

Chocolate from the bunny

Here are a few photo's from easter morning.

Easter Bunny Paw prints in the bedroom.

Ainsley with an egghead.

Byron took the paw print and the photo of Ainsley

fast craft and recycled craft

I grabbed the Hot glue gun today and made Ainsley and the girl neighbours a few hair clips.
love these buttons so cute, also had a few beads that fit just perfect.


last week i was thinking about making lunch wraps, i had given them a go before using PUL but wasnt happy with them, these i used the plastic bag from cereal and sewed it to some fabric i had in my stash.
it is a tad big as i didnt do measurements just sewed next to the glued edge.
works great as a wrap and placemat in one.



i left a sandwich in one for about 5 days to see how it went and it didnt go hard at all, the mould had just started to grow but i would expect that in any bag.i am planning on making a few more a bit smaller,already got some cereal bags waiting and think it will be agreat craft to do with the recycling group at my sons school so i think next term i will have to see the teachers about it.
Also came to the realisation that i had never thought to reuse those bags---don't know why they are great being nice and thick,would be great for rolls.

Easter time--photo heavy

Today we Did some Easter craft.


There was ceramic eggs and their cartons to be painted,
wooden boxes to be painted for gifts,

and the tv cabinet was to be decorated according to the kids, they have even planned on putting their easter baskets there for the bunny to fill.


will get a better photo with full baskets on sunday i think.

we then baked some cookies from the school fundraiser (these became lunch oops).
Then we made chocolate nests with birdseggs in them, i used shredded wheat and melted chocolate and then sat the eggs on top oh so easy, the only thing is i only had dark choc(the good stuff) so they are a tad rich.

Ainsley's Turn

Whilst Ainsley doesnt go to kindy on thursday and will not be in the hat parade that Byron is in she will be at the assembly tomorrow to watch and therefore had to make her own hat "just like byrons"

I only had 2 plastic eggs left from byrons and no more rabbit teddy bears.

I did have a glitter hat and rabbit ear headband from last easter.

So we set out to make Ainsleys hat.

Ainsley put herself on cutting the ribbon duty and me on glue duty, as with Byron is was "put glue here" and "put glue there".

oh we also had a stapler which Ainsley enjoyed crunching down on to hlod the ribbon in place.

This is what she has to wear tomorrow.

Can you tell she is liking it?

Easter Hat

Byron has an Easter Hat Parade on thursday so today we went to the shop after school to grab supplies.
We ended up with a packet of plastic eggs and googley eyes.
oh and a bunch of baby carrots
From his room we grabbed a gold glitter hat and Roger Rabbit.
a few odds and ends from the craft box and this is what he made.
Byron did well with the hot glue gun when it was warm but once it got too hot i had to "put glue here" "put glue there".
It looks great i think.
He is very proud



I forgot to add the carrots to this photo.


You can just see the green tops of the carrots in this one
i will get a photo on thursday with a shirt on my child aswell.

Autum Pj's

Made the kids some Autumn PJ's this weekend.
we were having a lazy weekend so excuse the children in the photo's someone really does love them lol.
I had planned on buying long sleeve tops but really wanted to finish them and not shop around for matching tops so i opened the fabric cupboard and made my own.
apart from a mishap with Byron's which actually doesn't look too bad i am pleased with how they came out.
The Yoda fabric is really bright and the colours in Ainsley's are amazing--i love how a fabric you like or even love looks 10X's better sewn up.
