Busy busy busy


All this horrible weather we've been having was keeping DD (and us) far to cooped up. And we all know that there is nothing quite as bad as a bored cooped up (almost) 2 year old. So we splashed out on a trip our local soft play centre. At £4 a time it's only an occasional treat but on this visit we were given a loyalty card. Every 5th visit is now free making it now an average of £3 a visit. I can these this being a firm favorite this winter as the general consensus it that this year its going to be a bad one.

DD and Mummy (me) playing in the ball pit. At first she wouldn't go near the ball pit bit but once mummy climbed in and should her it was safe and actually pretty fun we couldn't get her out.
My first 2 crocheted winter hats for Japan. I'm currently working on a handful of winter knits to send to a friend in Japan to distribute through their church to those in need.Sadly as its now old news japan and its suffering has been forgotten about by many people.
And finally a little bit of nap time crafting. Take one 2012 diary (£1 on local market) and one bag of foam stickers (ELC) and stick on gems (poundland). And hey presto.........
....one much improved diary for my handbag next year. No way could I stare at the that horrible puppy all winter.

DD approves. She loves trying to pick off the foam shapes and pushing the gems like buttons while singing "beep beep beep". I think I will have to reattach several of them next year but who cares if she's happy.

What have you all been making lately?

Our afternoon.

Today I spent a lovely afternoon with my best friend and her lovely family. We were very kindly invited round to celebrate an Uncle's birthday and you know us, any excuse for cake and a natter. DD spent all afternoon playing with her little friend Holly and exploring a new place kept her quite entertained for hours. The photo above is DD's very first steps with a walker.
This is after our enormous sausage and chips dinner. And as you can see from the evidence baked beans were a part of the meal.
A quiet five minutes on the sofa to let our dinners settle before a crawl around the garden to find some pretty stones and hunt for bugs.

It was such a lovely afternoon and I really felt part of the family while I was there. The best things in life really are free eh?
