I love pink

I love white

Clothing refashion

A plain and boring t-shirt into a much more interesting one. I think so, anyway!

A bit of slicing and dicing, changing buttons, and adding a hood to this jacket has made it so very comfortable. I love the urban-style. And the walking foot and jeans needle on my sewing machine made sewing through all those layers a walk in the park. I kept raving about it. Honestly. I think Don was very close to rolling his eyes!

Better than Lego

What, you may ask, is better than Lego?

The answer: chocolate lego people! (You can buy the silicon moulds on eBay and various other places).

Mmmmmmm.

Sunny afternoons

I love how our Art times turn into such peaceful, sun-soaked afternoons that seem to go on forever... I think most of the time eldest chicken and I are the only one actually doing the activity suggested in the book, but oh well....

Holidays and birthdays

Our holiday away was somewhat rained out, but we had a good time playing indoor games, drinking ridiculous amounts of hot chocolate, eating cinnamon toast, reading Oliver Twist, and teaching my eldest to knit. Then we came back in time for the July birthday run. So now my youngest little chicken is 6! And my son, 8!

Tea Party

It's just the right kind of day for a tea party.

Even for the finches.
