The whole boy meets girl craft can be hazardous.
Today, I was crafting up a power tooling, stitchy kind of storm & I've come out the other side a little bashed about.
I caught my finger in my table top drill, cut my thumb using my baby bosch & have a massive blister on my stitchy index finger from stitching with such a fat needle & heavy cord.
I won't be put off. I think I'll step out with the boy again tomorrow.
whipped this up today. It's a "floss station" made for Brown Owls. We used lots of bits we had lying around the house (including my toilet roll honeycomb) and made a little trip to the hardware store. Yay!
My kids were home from school today - it was curriculum day. The little guy was pretty happy to assist with a bit of boy meets girl craft - we've established it's my favourite. We had out the drill & the saw.
The little guy was in charge of the saw & did a very good job. Lefties are hard to teach.
I'm thinking that every crafty girl should have a floss station. I'd love one on my desk & I'll be pretty sorry to see this one go. I think I might work on a mini version for myself.
I'm feeling a little fragile.
Busy morning, a party afternoon & a party night but I've made a start on a little DIY project.
I'm very excited about it because it's involves boy meets girl craft (my favourite kind). I'm using the drill, the sewing machine, embroidery & strong glue.
It's collision craft - which is so much fun - it either turns out great & really special OR you wind up in hospital. If you don't hear from me tomorrow you know what happened.
The image is of the fabric in a coffee bath (it's out now & I'm really pleased with the lovely latte colour of the base cloth).
I really needed a break from the music box making so ...
inspired by Aunty Cookie I'm making something cutting.
A bit of fun really... a bit boy meets girl craft... & very boots 'n all (Pip's a big fan of jumping in & having a go).
Last week's favourite space here.

Yes ... it's true! I'm knitting a cloud.
The anny blatt angora lambswool blend is quite incredible. I'm not a knitter at all but when I do pick up the sticks by knitting is ridiculously tight. Not with though, she won't tolerate it. Stubborn as I am the yarn refuses to be forced which is quite relaxing actually. It's marshmallow soft & just as light.
Hoping that I don't botch the lot with phase 2.
Look who got up to a bit of boy meets girl craft last week.

Wednesday is usually my work day. This week I've swapped to Thursday & I've got to say it feels a little weird.
I've relocated the desk to my spot & I'm boy-meets-girl crafting up a storm. I'm hoping to stay in the uggs all day.
So in my spot:
a bit of tin can craft. Phase 2 of the music box.
& yikes...Jude's notebook arrived. I'm kicking off the international leg of her notebook project.
On my desk...the players.
