Blow the return to winter outside, I shall focus on after school rainy day activities instead.

I wouldn't say that sewing is a great skill of mine, however I can be quite creative with a needle and thread and our local haberdashery and fabric shop is a great source of inspiration and I can wander round looking at its stock for hours. Have a great weekend.

Another re-discovered childhood pastime, blowing bubbles... it's great being a parent as you have an excuse to do these things again.

A rediscovered pleasure today... playing hopscotch. I have to admit I found drawing with chalk on concrete very therapeutic in a strange sort of way!

It seems my husband has now caught the Play-Doh bug. After seeing my attempts yesterday, he decided to outshine me and produce these last night - I think I need to find him something better to do with his time!

Until today I had forgotten how much fun Play Doh can be, the squishing and moulding was quite theraputic - I think my daughter enjoyed it too!

A rainy, thundery day here, so most of it spent 'crafting' with my daughter. Just a thought, whoever dreamt up the idea of putting sparkly glitter into something as mundane as glue is on my wavelength!

A morning spent colouring with my daughter, there's something about wax crayons that I just love - the smell and feel of them, takes me back to my childhood.
