Crazy Chris Cockerel and Winnie the Witch

Claire has been asking me for a while if I can teach her to sew, make and bake things.

Yesterday I asked her if she would want to have a 'craft night' once a week where we could try out different things.

She was very enthusiastic about it so tonight was the night.

Thankfully I had two easy kits in the cupboard that I've had for ages and had forgotten about.

She's been glueing, cutting, colouring and threading these two characters for the past hour and a half.
I managed to only get hands on when she was having real trouble threading the needle or twisting wire.


Next week I think I'll start her on a sampler, with different kinds of stitches.
I remember doing one of these in primary school, but I don't think they do that sort of thing anymore.

She had fun and so did I and that's the main thing. Now that everything has been tidied away, I can sit down and chill.

Time for a cuppa.
