craft more

One advantage of having a bad back is that I am now forced more to take rest and sit still – more time to craft. =)

^{There are many more things my little angels helped me to create. We’re still busy with a few projects: material for more entries!}

My kids are supposed to bring one of Dad’s old socks to kindergarten next week; they’re going to be filled with sweets from Nikolaus (6.12.).
Since most these socks seem to have huge holes (and the more I throw away, the more socks with holes appear, it seems), I had to come up with something different and more colourful.

I was a lot of fun to make, even though it could have been done a lot faster (smarter, but well, I’m still learning these things).

I hope my children will like them.

It was so much fun these last few days to surf the web for more and more inspiration. There is sooo much to see and most things are so simple but turn out really nicely in the end.

Most of the things were even fun to do with my children. We made those fingerprint-bunnies and my kids had sooo much fun with their blue and red fingers. ;-) (the red bunnies weren’t thaaat much of a success, but worth a try)

Andrea also loves to colour with her watercolours. Most of the time these painings just shop up in some drawer or waste-paper basket, which really is a pity. I showed her how to cut out a simple shape, stick it onto a nice peace of paper and tadaaah: it looks nice!

One more thing my kids and some neighbours’ children liked doing a lot were doing little paper-cuts with some adhesive tape. Making a collage with little stripes of various paper-cuts in all kinds of colours was veru nice to do (these still have to be finished, though).

But there are still sooo many more nice things to be tried. =)
