I remember making little matchbox houses with mini dolls in them with my best friend when I was a kid. I had so much fun making some with my kids recently, and was amazed at how much they liked playing with them!
I used the slightly larger size matchbox to base the house on, and got my kids to colour in the outsides for the house. My daughter went one step further and decorated the wrong side of her elder brothers paper (much to his dismay!), while it was lying around waiting to be photographed. I thought it was so cute I didn't want to glue it down and lose it so I used it to decorate the inside of her mini house:).
I also made some mini monsters to live in them out of felt, in their favourite colours of course! They are a bit fiddly due to their size and blanket stiching around their shape but so cute and worth it.
Ssshh my faourite is my daughter Alisha's, are we mum's allowed to have favourites? I just love her little pictures and the way she'll draw on any paper lying around the place, it used to be annoying now it's a sweet surprise.
Have fun:) Jenni xx
When I saw this and this homemade bathmat on Melissa Goodsell's blog 'One Crafty Mumma', it reminded me of the same type of bathmat my Granny used to have in her bathroom when I was a little girl, funny the things we remember! And I was dying to make one.
I've made one of these before and it turned out lovely and soft (It's a bit grubby and worn now so I won't treat you to a view of that one!). This one I made out of a recycled towel and 'meadowsweet' fabric. It looks so bright and fresh and ready for spring, pity winter's really kicking in here:(
Thanks for stopping by, Jenni xx
Some scenes from our week that's been. With the cold of winter setting in, some comfort food was in order so I made a batch of beef and vege soup, a yummy way to use left overs, and scones for after.
Enjoying the the changing colours of the season.
Love the look of these pears in my new bowl!
Found a great place for the best tea towel in my kitchen to live, it's now a cover for my toaster :)
Hope you've had a great week and keeping warm! Jen x
