Don't we ?
Not much crafting happening here, I'm afraid. The only creativity going on in my head - is thinking up new swear words to mutter to myself during the school holidays.
When Phil takes Billy camping, and there are no women folk around, Billy is allowed to cuss like a good un'. Their latest favourite is " You're like a piece of sh*t around a bird's arse"
This really makes me laugh, I can imagine it being a Clint Eastwood line. When I asked Phil why it had to be a 'birds' arse ?, he said 'I was a girl and I wouldn't understand'.
?
Anyway, onto nicer things.
IF I do get 5 mins to myself, I've been leafing through this recent purchase
ISBN 4 529 04226 X
It's a really sweet little story book,
it comes with a tiny bear applique,
and has lovely collage illustrations.
There's a how-to for making a pair of children's trousers
as well as instructions for making a skirt, an apron, headscarf, drawstring bag, playmat,book bag,napkins and placemat - all for children. There are no actual size patterns, but the instructions are very clear.
The author has a cute blog here, and you can buy her fabric here, when Kitty re-opens (the fabric is very cute).
I hope I haven't offended anyone with the content of this post, if I have - I do apologise, but it could be much worse, just thank your lucky stars you've never met me.
