Boys and boxes.

I was over at A Little Bit of Sanity and A Lot of Chaos a wonderful blog where Kirsty recreates old furniture into wonderful new pieces, I really enjoyed this one post about her boys in baskets and boxes, here are a few pics of my boys enjoying a good old box :)

It is amazing how time can go by so fast, my little boy is now 7! We have had a wonderful day filled with lots of presents...

balloons...

Easter Sunday enjoying an egg hunt in the garden and tucking into lots of goodies ;)

Easter Half Term.

While Matthew was on half term we got up to many wonderful things...

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break :)

Happy Mothers Day

A simple change.

I really like having flowers in my home but I don't own any decorated vases all I have is the plain glass and I wanted to change the base on this one so simply added some fabric :)

Matthew arrived home from School with a beautiful card and flowers for me, so Sweet!

Tomorrow we will be having my Mum around and we going to have a nice Meal all together.

Gifts from my boy and ABC art.

I love this sweet boy! He bought me home some gifts last week from school a little wooden man,

and a beautiful yellow daffodil.

It's mother's day on Sunday I wonder if he will be bringing home any other sweet things :)

A couple of posts back I showed some of my crafts including this alphabet art it was such fun to do some paper craft I haven't done any for a couple of years, when we all changed bedrooms I lost my desk, I now mainly work in the kitchen sewing but still enjoy paper crafts when I can, I used K&Co Alphabet transfers onto paper and covered them with Glossy Accents it made them raised and shine, not really visible in the photo.

Here it is in Matthews room above his new book case.

More t-shirts with Ribbon.

I had a lot of fun making my first ever t-shirt for Aidan, (Lion head t-shirt) and wanted to think of some other fun designs to put on the front of some shirts for summer, I picked up these tops 3 for £2 in Asda a great deal with the normal cost being £2 plus each. I went for a Space Rocket and Aliens and was able to include tags of ribbon as well for added texture :)

Lion head t-shirt.

Here is a t-shirt I made for Aidan for a competition being held over at I am Momma here me Roar, http://iammommahearmeroar.blogspot.com/

Aidan has this comfort thing where is enjoys rubbing the inside of collars and hems, I thought it would be a fun idea to put ribbon hoops for a lions mane so he will be able to have a tactile fun

t-shirt to wear and rub the tags when he's tired.

I only used what I had in the house and didn't have any orange ribbon but I think theses colours worked out ok.

I hand sewed the face and pinned all the ribbon on before sewing around with the machine to keep ribbon in place before attaching it to a t-shirt.

My Happy little Man :)
