I Quilt. I Sew. I Craft. Join Me!
More Lego. We don’t really need it but the kids LOVE it! This time it was thanks to Aunty J. Mr Happy has a birthday soon so a couple of weeks ago (yes, why wait until his birthday, right?) she gave him a Lego game, Creationary. I’ve looked at the games before but the kids [...]
It is school holidays again and the kids need to be kept amused. Mr Happy needs to run around but that is not always the safest thing to do in the house. So I have been creating obstacle courses for him. The obstacles slow him down so he doesn’t get hurt as well as making [...]
This giveaway is now closed Have you seen these cute Lego cars at Shell service stations yet? Have you bought some? They’ve been out there in the stores since the middle of March but there is only one available each week so you might have missed some. If you’ve missed some, keep reading – I [...]
It has been raining and raining and raining some more here! It was a very wet weekend and as you can imagine the kids were getting restless by the end of it. Time to get crafty! Luckily I came across some photos online of a very clever balloon powered car and inspired my Mr [...]
This is another holiday project from my Little Miss. When we went to the Danish Flower Art shop earlier in the holidays for her to do a class making an angel necklace, we bought a couple of kits to make this butterfly necklace. Their kits are great.

I’ve been making gift tags lately – I may be slightly obsessed! I really have this idea that I want to have a stash ready for wrapping gifts as we start to hit the birthday party season. So when a bundle of lovely stationery supplies arrived from 2Kool4Skool.com.au, I spotted the scented markers and my [...]
Earlier in the week I wrote about our Bored Jar over at Mum’s Business. Basically grab a jar and fill it with strips of paper with activity ideas to keep the kids amused. In writing that post I had lots more ideas for fun activities to write on the papers so here’s some more: Fun [...]
One of our greatest discoveries in our local area has been the beading shop that runs classes for kids in the holidays. Not far from us is a place called Danish Flower Art. It is a little cluster of buildings outside Highfields that includes a coffee shop and a shop that sells beads and beading [...]
A playdate. Three girls. One little brother. Lots of giggling. Morning tea. CAKE!!! But not just any cake. DIY cake. Crafty cake. Castle Cakes. Inspired by the birthday cake book that lives on the bookshelf and rarely gets used, Little Miss and I decided that they would make castles. The construction materials were yummy: mini [...]
