We Play and We Play and...We Stop!

Creating

Over the weekend we were busy making a gift for our sick neighbour. We made her a bag and a lavender eye pillow (together with some extras for ourselves). P loved mixing the lavender. We chose cracked wheat to mix it with because that was all we ahd that seemed suitable in the cupboard - I hope it is suitable!

While at it, I also made L some bibs as sadly that has started already - she seems such a hungry girl...it is so early (and I am not misguided by the thought that looking at food means she is ready for food! She genuinely seems hungry)

Sail Away Sail Away Sail Away

Z loves setting up his games. His favourite thing is his pond - elevated by a cushion to make waves. He usually loves putting his toy surfboards on the pond. But the other day we found some big (black bean) pods and made sailing boats.

Z is helping me write this post and the next thing he wants to say is, "I love mummy" and "we are getting a big boys bed".

Productivity

It has been happening around here and I feel great for it! Achieving craft of my own makes me feel balanced. So so many unfinished projects lay through my space - and many more clutter my mind.

Over the past week and a half, I have finished an old quilt that has been folded in the cupboard half finished since P was 2, and she's now 5! It works well for L - nice and cushie for her increasingly rarer falls from sitting.

I also finished a pair of pj pants for both P and Z. Not a great photo but the best I could do late at night. They both love them.

And.. I finished a jumper for L - in the knick of time. It stills fit but only just. I started it when I was pregnant. So it is not "conformly" gender specific in its colour. A photo of that one soon!

And more to come - almost finished a cross over jumper for L in a pattern that I found on Ravelry some time ago. I am officially half way through a "crushed banana" dress for L - but that's OK, I am aiming to have it finished for a holiday in September. And I would love to make myself a skirt...hmmm, we'll see.
