holiday crafts and a few randoms

I get given lots of those small little hotel soaps, and I still have fleece left over from Steiner classes... this year someones getting felted soaps for christmas!

 It's surprisingly simple, just wrap, add hot water, rub and squeeze, for ages. 

Cleaning out the cupboards gave me: cardboard, fleece, felt, buttons, bark and paint.  So i present a magical elf land!  Next year my classroom is going to be filled with this sort of stuff!

Couple of old crafts now, actually I might have done this but I can't remember, so forgive me if you've seen them before!

Chalkboard paint was on sale.

The above table was outside someone else's house with "Free" written on it.

The old pinboard below got a new lease on life.

I have found myself overloaded with pillow slips, Ki has found herself living in a hippie commune, and Melody has requested a craft night, so:

 Crafty Fingers Presents: 

Prayer Flags

Saturday 16th July: 3pm: My House 

Ingredients:

• Material (optional to bring... i'll share my pillow cases)
• I have household and artist paint, along with vivids, bring along anything else you might want to use to decorate...
• Scissors... I have three pairs, is that enough?
• Thread and needles supplied
• Rope, elastic or string for hanging (I think i'll use those shoe laces I never used!)
• Imagination!

I am planning on using the symbols in the image above.  I am, however, attaching an article about prayer flags that talks about their different purposes so you might like to consider alternative ideas for personal significance.

Hope to see you there!


Be Well

my very own bedside table

  Ingredients:

remains of an old white cupboard you've had since childhood

your fathers saw

your fathers nails

your own brand new hammer

I created a pattern on the wood and cut then nailed it together. maybe i'll sand the rough edges at some point.. probably not.

rocket science really!

Be Well
