Better late than never...

I used to sometimes struggle to find things to blog about, and was often wishing I had more time to be creative and make things, or do more interesting things so I'd have something to 'show and tell' on my blog. Now the blog can't keep up with real life! And now I struggle to find time to write blog posts about all the fun stuff I've been up to! How's the irony?

So, here's a belated thank you to Bec for hosting a lovely Crafternoon last Sunday. The Junior Crafter came along and had a ball playing with Bec's Little Miss and doing some Junior Crafting:

I did a little bit of cutting out for my winter pinny (on which I've made progress since last week. I really need to keep up with blogging or I feel like I'm going backwards!) 

And we all enjoyed some magnificent food and lots of great company.

And we missed some people who weren't allowed out to play. Their mums wrote them a sick note and made them stay home in bed. 

Thanks Bec for a lovely Crafternoon!

Crafternoon

Had a lovely day on Friday not doing Craft with Liesl. We had planned to do some crafting. I had carefully (and rather ambitiously, as it turns out) packed my Janome and a fairly large container of WIPs into my car, along with a fruit platter and my 3 children who were looking forward to a playdate with Argy & Bargy...wait....aaaaah, now I see the problem. We were outnumbered.

Between us we have 5 delightful young 'uns, who all had a fabulous day eating and drinking and playing ball, chasey, piano, cars, trains, farms and hide and seek. However, I do believe in all our planning we failed to notice one vital factor: It turns out that 5 small children on a playdate and a Crafternoon cannot coexist without disrupting the Space-Time Continuum. Who knew?

However, we managed to admire each other's WIPs talked about my woeful attempts to learn to crochet, and we chatted about all the crafting we would like to be doing,

 partake of some delicious Hoppo Bumpo biscuits and a latte,

and we were even invited back despite this disaster created by Poor Point 3 at lunch!
