Its official, Miss E no longer sleeps during the day! Many friends have commented they couldnt believe she has for so long. But she has always been such a fantastic sleeper, hence how i began sewing in the first place. But now i no longer have my two hours to get my “Me time”, i have a measly half an hour or so when she decides she has laid down long enough and rested. At first i was a tad put out by this, as their rest time was my sewing time. My daily schedule is in a revamp! Sewing is now a weekend activity, and afternoons are mummy and daughter time while Master J gets his beauty sleep. And its LOVELY!! Especially when i think next year Miss E will be at school five days a week…………gasping breaths……..i am embracing my afternoons and enjoying every minute.
So rather then showing some of my crafty activities, i thought i would show you some bubba and yaya craftiness! How proud i am that my sweet babies love to make and create just like their mummy!
This is our hungry catterpillar. She has 21 sections, one for her lovely head Miss E drew, and the other 20 have numbers on them. The food also has numbers on them, up to 20, and the kids “feed” the hungry fellow with their hand drawn snacks by matching and counting
Miss E’s Magical Rainbow Mystery Bus made from the top of an egg carton. Master J’s went missing at the time of this photo shoot. I am sure one day i will find his stashing place and it will contain many marvellous items!
Quite possibly one of my favourite activities we have done together. I got the idea from a website, I think it was called “Teach Preschool” Again, an egg carton, with a list of things we could collect from a morning walk around our parkland. Then the kiddies fill the sections with what they find from the list. The kids were thrilled with this idea and we will do it for sure again!
Sooooo, this is what we have been doing while we havent been sewing
