Keeping the kids entertained

Another way to entertain the kids this summer when the weather isnt so great, is to create your own spoon family, not only do you have fun creating each 'person' but the kids also get to play with them afterwards....here are some to get you inspired!

Must get myself some of this...

I have loved washi tape for ages, yet my craft cupboard is still without it!! For those of you who dont know yet, it's japanese tape that comes in loads of different colours and patterns...and is available in loads of places now including John Lewis. I thought I would share some with you...



It's being used for a variety of differnt projects and a must for any crafter!! Here are some of the cool stuff I have found it being used for...

Clothes pegs available from Flatsprat on Etsy
