It’s Handmade Monday again, isn’t it scary how the weeks fly by? Even though I’ve spent time having fun with two small boys last week, I still have a few handmade things to share with you, as I’m still beavering away making for the Pick’n'Mix Makers Market in just over 3 weeks time.
I really, really don’t like it when the clocks go back. I’m sitting here looking at the gloom outside, and it isn’t half past four yet! a few people suggested that the extra hour in bed is a compensation, but it only happens the once and not in a house where the body clocks of children and animals are still running on the old time. So it was out of bed at 6.30 for CeeBeebies and Henry/Higgins breakfast!
Added to which the boys went home this morning so it’s very quiet as well as gloomy so I have been SO appreciative of all the lovely links for Reasons to be Cheerful, thank you very much. And if you are feeling a bit like me, pay a few bloggy visits and say hello!
Anyway, this week we went to a windswept beach to do a bit of charging about…
To a mini funfair to do a bit of flying around…
To the cinema for some 3D magic…
… to Bewilderwood for some Halloween spookiness…
Topped off with a trip to Norwich Castle for some more half term fun.
And I bet you’re wondering where the dolly pegs come in!
Well they’re here…
Happy little ladies decorated with needlefelt and yarn, crochet fleece and buttons.
I’ve had such fun making them, and although they’re perfect for hanging on the Christmas tree, they could keep you company all year round, hanging on a door knob, a pin board, or the dressing table mirror.
So they might be hanging around, but I haven’t been!
As usual there is a link to Wendy of 1st Unique Gifts, who kindly hosts Handmade Monday each week, and there you can visit all the other makers to see what they’ve been up to! Have fun, and see you soon x
