Miaou

We have been very busy this week making stuff. I have been working on my fish blanket. It is now all sewn together and I am in the process of adding a crocheted border. But you are not seeing a sneak preview, you will just have to wait for the unveiling! However you can see what the children have been up to:

Eilish made a door plaque and a pompom peacock:

Caitlin made a photo frame and a note holder in her favourite colours:

… and Euan tried to get in on the action!

Have a great Easter, and don’t eat too many eggs

Yesterday I took the children to an Easter fayre at one of the local primary schools. They were having an egg-painting competition so before we went along I hard-boiled some eggs for them to decorate. Euan is naturally too young to do his own so I did the left over egg as it looked a little bare and lonely on its own.

From left to right: Eilish’s, Calum’s, mine and Caitlin’s. (Incidentally, the girls painted the two egg cups on the left a few years ago).

We took them along to the competition (well, not mine obviously, although the girls insisted I could have entered in the “12 years and older” class), and they all won a prize. I also won a rather nice looking box of bath smellies too and we bought some home baking, so we came away with our arms full!
