We've just come home from a wonderful crafternoon at Miss Doily's house.
The kids were entertained for hours by this magical box of Hama beads that Steph found at the tip shop.
Apparently the kit was brand new and still in its sealed box when she brought it home. Can you imagine someone leaving such a treasure at the tip? I know I'm going to look more carefully next time I drop off the recycling.
There was some dolls clothes making.
Some cutting and pasting.
Some rug crocheting.
Some love heart cutting out.
Some who just came for the conversation and great afternoon tea.
The start of my bunny.
And of course, where ever Jazzy goes, there's always some potion making.I hope you had a lovely and crafty day today too. XX
Oh how I wanna go to a crafternoon!!!! It looks like so much fun...!

ReplyDeleteOMG, i love it!! Next time i do afternoon craft at school i'm going to get them to call it Crafternoon or say "Good Crafternoon Mrs McClelland" in that lull dreary massed voice school children roll out. Brilliant.

Crafternoon is one of my favourite words.

PS If you can't find a great freebie, the next best thing is IKEA. $10 for a MASSIVE tub of Hama Beads plus some cute shape templates.
It looks lovely Kate, I spent some time sorting beads this afternoon. In a crazily hot house, though it is thankfully much cooler now.
