Nothing says school holidays are here...

...more than doing craft while we wait for our home made Fruit Loaf to prove, cook, and cool enough to enjoy!

My Creative Space

Birthday weeks are always busy. There are beanbags to finish (to which Miss Six exclaimed "oh wow!" about four or five times when she discovered it in her bedroom on the morning of her birthday)...

Marshmallow cones to make for Miss Six to take to share with her class on her birthday - how long is it since you've had a marshmallow cone???

And then there is today's project - making little panne velvet Royal Cloaks for the six 5-6 year old guests who are coming to Miss Six's Royal birthday party on Saturday. I have used this pattern with a few modifications such that all I have to do once the capes are cut out is overlock around the edge and they are ready to go.

What's happening in your Creative Space today?

Thankfully the fabric I mentioned in my previous post is now dry, and so it's onto making Miss Almost-Six a beanbag for her bedroom! It's her birthday next Tuesday and I always like to make the girls something for each birthday.

Miss Two has just opened up a box of toys she hasn't played with for a while, so she's happily occupied while I work on the beanbag. Later today I am going to try making this Baileys Cake - Miss Two may help me stir the mix, but I can guarantee that I'll get to lick the bowl!

So that's what I'm doing in My Creative Space this week - thanks to kootoyoo, as always, for letting me play! Next week it's back to my "tats".
