Sunday Craft

The girls and I have been enjoying these wet Sundays with a bit of crafting in the afternoons. Eddie goes down for a nap and out comes the craft.

We have particularly been enjoying some papercraft. Like Jo, scrapbooking has never taken my fancy but we are discovering the plethora of other paper projects out there. Hey, if you love fabric, you have to love the beautiful papers around.




Last week, we covered some plain clipboards with gorgeous paper, ribbon and mod podge (which I now know is available from Riot Art & Craft, not Spotlight or Lincraft!) This is a fun and simple activity that we saw over at A Spoonfull of Sugar. The boards will be most handy for clipping up the girl's schedules and morning reminders.

We've enjoyed making cards for birthday's, neighbours and really, whoever pops into our mind at the time. My children, like most, love making deliveries of handmade messages to whomever they can think of. And there is usually a sweet posy of flowers (and weeds) attached.

Sunday Craft, hopefully we will meet again. You are most welcome in our home...especially on rainy days!
