We had a crafty weekend. On Sunday it was raining the whole day and we really enjoyed it.
It reminds us of the long dark days before Christmas in Holland when everybody is busy making presents and decorating the Christmas tree. We where thinking of putting the Christmas tree on, but we didn't do it.
My middle girl Elle who is turning 13 in 2 days was busy beading and making jewellery what she want to sell on Etsy in the future. I was on the same table sewing a little bag for my MP3 player. It was always flying around in my big bag and I didn't like it. So we were busy but happy. And I made some pencil cases for my Etsy shop. I made the long ones that you can fill and roll up. I like them and they are very handy as well. I made a couple so we have always a nice present to give away when there is a birthday party coming up.
And last but not least I spot a great book at the library; Crafty Girls' Road Trip, by Ann Packer.
It list treasure troves of materials and inspiration for embroiderers, patchworkers, knitters, spinners and other crafty girls, PLUS coffee stops to fuel your journey and somewhere to lay your head.
We are going away to the South Island in the next school holiday so I think I might need this book. So if you are living in NZ and going on a trip this will be a handy book to take. I'll take it!
