I've got so many bits and pieces on the go, I'm starting to wonder if lockdown will be long enough to allow me to finish, especially as I'm also redecorating our family home after 9 years of tenants.
All the items I've made will be kindly donated/offloaded onto the Things, my great nephew, our grandchild and a friends twins.
I've turned child 5's old bedroom into a craft room
Used milk bottle cartoons to make Elephants
Used up old tins of paint in the shed, toilet rolls and sticks from the garden to make giraffes
Washed and painted stones from the garden
Recycled cans into plant holders to brighten up the garden
Made pom poms to turn into a rug for our grandchild
Attempted a jigsaw puzzle with help from the cat
Hung bunting up around the house I made a few years ago
Hatched a flamingo, that a friend gave me last year
Had a complete fail with papier mache
Had a felting kit gifted to me from a friend that I'm having fun with
Every week I post magazines and sweets to my mum, with a large stamped address envelope, so she can fill it with crafting items such as wool and ribbons and all she has to do is post it in the letter box near her home.
Have you been doing any crafts? I have limited abilities and limited resources, but I've had a lot of fun and it's amazing what you can do/make with things you have lying around the house.
I wish I had my sewing machine and over locker with me in the UK and my stash of material to make some more bunting, a new bed for the dog and get the curtains ready for when our furniture arrives at some point in the future.
