Crafternooning

Little M was five this week. She is tiny so she doesn't look it. She has really enjoyed starting school and has turned into a different girl - she has less angst and temper and more understanding and cooperation. She has a close circle of friends unlike Big Sis who is friends with everyone.

She asked for three friends to come and play.

What do you want to do? I asked...

Cutting and sticking with my friends, she said.

Shall we have a crafternoon, I said.

She laughed because she got the pun and said, yes.

So Sunday was a crafternoon with crowns, treasure boxes and beady bracelets. 

It cost me the treasure boxes, the rest I trawled from around the house. I was sort of glad to put a dent in some of it. 
They all had such fun and attacked creative play in such different ways. It took me to my Primary school teaching days. I found it so interesting to observe children playing by standing back and not interfering.

My best friend bought her this skirt for twirling, she didn't know I had made this party cardigan, we are a bit psychic like that!!

Happy Birthday Little M.
