Story stones

I came across this little tutorial on Red Bird Crafts for story stones. A very sweet idea and fairly flexible I thought, so H and I have been working on some of our own.


You will need these....

And some of these...

The tutorial used Mod Podge which we don't have here, so I used good old PVA glue.

We made the alphabet, here's some of it...

The glue goes on white as per below but dries clear.

I also managed to produce good old Wendell and Clunk (not quite finished here)

and the possibilities are limitless.

Now H is collecting rocks whenever we venture from the house, with an eye as to what he can turn them into. I love it, as I am a rock collector from waaaay back, and we have geologist relatives on both sides. 


Our collecting ground has a finite and not very diversified supply though, it is the street side rock garden of a local block of units.


Oh and remember how I said the lil guy loves to sit on top of his older brother every opportunity he gets? Here is evidence:

With his wispy blonde hair and innocent expression I sometimes think a halo and wings would not look out of place, but in reality a tail and horns might be more apt. 

They would go very well with his raising-the-dead screech....

Mother's day - things for the kids to make

Ok, maybe a little bit late, but if you want to get the kids busy for mum or Nana, The Crafty Crow has some lovely little ideas with beautiful photos and links. 

Actually, go to her site proper for all sorts of cool stuff you can do with the kids. I can spend hours fossicking around on here, and there are great things in the archives and you can follow links to just about anywhere! 

Oooh, yay for spending waaay too much time on the net, hahaha!

And while I'm at it, look at this little cutey from Red Bird Crafts,

complete with tutorial of course.

Ok, better leave it at that for now, I could put more and more on here as I've collected all sorts of great links and tutes that I'll share at some point, cos I know you're dying to see them right?!

Gee if only there were 26 hours a day, and we didn't have to sleep, imagine the things you could get done!

Well, here I am...

My own blog, hmmm.
A place for all my sewing and crafting confessions and maybe the odd smidge of cookery. Perhaps my frugal ideas and greenie leanings will find a home here too…
