Making

This week I've been working on some lovely new bunnies. This little one above is a birthday bunny for a special girl. I love the pink of her cardi, it's the prettiest pink, dusty, musk stick, sweetie pie pink.

And this is a bunny for a new baby girl.  I will have to change that button though,

buttons and babies just don't go together, do they?

This week I've had two kids home with colds. Mr Self Portrait built a log house with his new Lego, adding little extra's and even designed his own human sized log cabin.

While I dithered around, sorting through buttons, looking through a certain person's blog, looking for inspiration for the Brooch Swap.

After my original idea failed dismally I went back to scrawling page after page, getting to know this person quite well and having a lovely time, until I came across The Idea.

Which is shaping up quite nicely. Not really original, not particularly technically amazing, but sweet nevertheless, with personality & a fair degree of wonkiness. Phew, it's almost finished and ready for posting.

Today I found it hard to get out of  bed, these three pushed me out in the end and declared they'd be staying like this all day, snug as three bugs in a rug. It's so cold this week, we had a little snow yesterday. Fluttering flakes of white, scattered swirls overnight.

Today I was classroom helper in the Prep room, so fun to be with the children, all so full of big eyed innocence and fun. I love hearing their ideas, their take of the world. Watching them dance and sing to The Wonky Donkey was hilarious too, do you know that book?

Anyway, back to work now, much to do here at home. Besides all the usual housie stuff I hope to get a little more knitting down this afternoon. I've finished the back & arms of Rosie's cardi, now I'm onto the front. Feeling rather pleased with myself as so far it's looking good.  Hope you're having a fun one, have you had a look at all these other people's spaces yet? I might sneak a peek too. See you soon xo
