Craft

I enjoy sewing, crocheting, baking and have tried scrap-booking, card-making and glass painting in the past.

I try and do crafty things most weeks and will link up both my craft and the child friendly craft we do to this link.

If you ever want to ask questions, enquire about purchasing something I have made please contact me at twopointfourchildren@hotmail.co.uk or @twopointfourchi

My two love nothing more than doing craft work.  The promise of glue and doing some sticking is a great bribe incentive when out shopping etc! With Buster being allergic to chocolate we try to make Easter about more than just eggs although we aren’t particularly religious (although if you listened to my two you might think differently!).

We were very lucky to be sent some products from Asda that helped make easter special.  First up we got a kit for decorating eggs, bunnies and flowers this was a great hit and kept my two quiet and happy for a long time, the glitter glue was a great touch as glitter is something that is seldom allowed in this house.  We also received an easter hunt kit and this used numbers and not eggs which suited us. I hid the numbers 1-6 around the house and used the arrows to point Buster and K around the house .  They carried their little bags and ran around finding the numbers and adding each one to the bag before running to the next one. Once all 6 numbers were found the arrows pointed to underneath the puppet theatre where their bags (also supplied by Asda) were hiding with sweets inside.

Mr R has also bought a craft kit from Asda so Easter Sunday was spent playing and making paper bag puppets and eating sweets and chocolate in k’s case before going to my mum and dads for dinner x

We were sent a craft kit, treasure hunt set and two easter egg bags for the purpose of this review all opinions expressed are my own.

some of my latest dolls and monkeys

When my children were born I became more of a hoarder than normal and kept special outfits that were worn when they came home from hospital or to parties etc.  The outfits although precious to me just sat in boxes in the wardrobe and were seen by no-one including K and Buster.

I decided to make some shadow boxes recently with their going home from hospital outfits and loved the way they turned out but wanted to try some other ideas too.

I made a cloth keepsake doll for a friend’s daughter this week and the clothing, ribbons, bows and buttons all came from a precious saved dress that was worn and photographed when the baby girl was still very tiny.

I love the way the doll turned out and will be making more of these.  I have one more doll on offer for cost price – you send me the dress/outfit and together we will come up with a doll or soft toy.

Due to the nature of the fabric and the fact it is a keepsake/heirloom item rather than a toy these dolls will not be CE tested as to do this your one-off piece of clothing would need to be set on fire!

I have a Facebook page here and would love if you could come over and like the page and if you have ideas or want to discuss me making an item for you just drop me a message or email.
