Creative Friday.

Over the last week we have been decoration's in a thrifty kind of way. Arthur has started to want to play in his own space, so what was called his bedroom was really filled with every ones junk. So out with the old and in with the nearly new or new to Arthur!

Using inspirational from this lovely book we made special bunting. This is a great book, I just loved to many of the idea, I think Amanda and I share a love for old blankets!

 
We also put up this wonderful print found at a local boot fair (flea market) for £!.

And finally Arthur made ART ! We has a lovely time, after making this we had a huge peace of paper and a free for all.

So I hope to get round to sharing this with everyone else on creative Friday  http://naturalsuburbia.blogspot.co.uk/ , have you been busy or still relaxing after the Easter break?

Food

Over Easter we had such a lovely time with all my boys together, my Mum and Dad plus one of my sisters with her hubby and son. A full house. Our family is truly a foodie bunch, way before anyone had made any other arrangements all meals had been accounted for.

We planned a afternoon tea, everyone made something. On each plate I placed an egg cup with egg cosy that I made and a little suprise for everyone underneath!

On the lovely cake stand that my bought as a present are the wonderful strawberry cheese cake cupcakes.

This Noah who made as laugh as whenever he asks for more food he just shouts "cake"

I though it would be a great opportunity to get all my boys for a together photo, Mmmm they don't look to impressed do they?

I hope you had a lovely Easter break whatever Easter means to you, maybe a filled with food as ours!

Easter book review

A lovely picture book. Illustrations are really beautiful with flaps to find the shiny eggs. A rhyming story tells the tale, very pleasing for a non religious Easter book.

Papercraft, card making

I really like those vintage or funky scrapbook pages, I have wanted to have a go myself but not sure where to start. A good place to start maybe was simple Easter cards. If you're a family member avert your eyes now!

They are no major works of art  but I enjoyed my cutting and sticking experience, and will try more at some point ! Arthur enjoyed his own creative time too.

In true Easter celebrations Arthur decorated his own Easter bonnet too, so sweet, even if I do say so myself.

What ever Easter means to you, enjoy. x x x

Yarn along

Yarning along with Ginny, she writes such a beautiful blog http://www.gsheller.com/  or press the button at the side!  Today I have picked up the knitting needles after my disater waistcoat, which taught me not to aim so high. Also the comments of support I had from other bloggers was so heart warming, thankyou.

So on a smaller scale, I am making MrPB a face cloth, I'm thinking of making him up a washset for his birthday which will be soon. A few hand made goodies is always nice.

So I have only just started, cream all cotton, and stash busting too!

Mini holiday at home. part 2.

Still blessed with the most amazing sunshine and warmth we headed to the beach. We spent the whole day grazing on food and ambling from one place to the other, it really did feel like a holiday.
