I cleared out their wardrobes of tiny and worn out clothing, getting them to try on all sorts and snipping off buttons in the process; I moved piles of birthday pressies into manageable boxes and took down their cards to make way for the Christmas ones that will no doubt start arriving from tomorrow; and then we spent an unpleasant hour in Tesco - I love my children, but...
So far I have not stitched a thing, but I have major plans for this evening; last night I finally, FINALLY worked out what I could, should and will be making...
I love how this prototype turned out; the obvious choice was staring me in the face all along!
Sorry the little ones are not being very co-operative on your non working day, but there is always bed time to look forward to, (and teenage years when they take themselves off like mine does!) Love the owl, it's just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI agree, the owl is perfection.
ReplyDeleteOh, he's so cute! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! You'll hve to give your trademark a name! Jxo
ReplyDeleteLove the owl. And you should have sent your kids over to me. I would have set them to work in the kitchen. Worked with my lot.
ReplyDeleteLove the owl. And I feel the Tesco pain, I endure it every Weds with E after Montessori. Although since taking the "embrace the pain" approach with with her it is not quite as stressful. But all my fruit comes home bruised every week, thanks to her overenthusiastic item-fetching skills.
ReplyDeleteHe's so fantastic! Any chance you can set the kids to making tons of these for gifts?
ReplyDeletePS - blogger hates me again :(
Love the owl.
ReplyDeleteAs for the kids.... Is locking them in their rooms for a few hours, frowned upon these days? :)
Oh Hadley poor you! Great little owl though!
ReplyDeletehoot, hoot. Love your little owl. I'm sure they have drugs you can administer to your little people on days like today....
ReplyDeletewhat a cute owl. Thankfully my girls are old enough to stay home on their own now! One of them didn't even bother getting dressed today
ReplyDeleteYou wise old owl you! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a drag having a non work day only to have your kids home too!! Lovely owl though
ReplyDeleteOooh, love the owl. Sorry the strike conspired against you to take away your kid-free day! I'm not fond of Tesco even on my own... o.O
ReplyDeleteLove the owl - sorry you've had company on your day off!
