Hanging with crafty friends

These school holidays have been different.....usually I set out to conquer a huge list of things to do......you know...

the de cluttering, cleaning, sorting ,working part time, keeping kids entertained, reading a few good books , sleep ins......

Well this time I didn't have a list......

partly because there were quite a few things already in the diary......dance competitions, sleep overs, work days, husband home days, new part time job shifts and repainting bedrooms.

Without me having my own agenda other nice things happened

One of the highlights was Meg having a couple of friends over to sleep and craft...

 

Despite our small house being in disarray due to the painting of the a bedroom....it all worked fine..

 

The weather was perfect for heading outside and making a mess.....the dye kind of mess...

 

Socks, t-shirts, pillowcases...nothing was safe from the colour being splashed around....

 

and when the dye needed time to be doing it's thing, there was some more stencils to be made....

 

I ducked out at one stage to have my haircut and on returning an hour later...a newly gifted pair of jeans had been turned into shorts!!! Lucky her aunt understands her creative niece (they were op shopped jeans)

In true style my girl always has dance on her brain.

It was lovely to see her helping her friends in their crafty endevours.....and apparently her friends didn't mind in the slightest that our home was less than ready for guests....

Ahhh school holidays ...you never really do know what they might throw up ...and sometimes getting rid of to do lists is a good thing.

It also helps that we have a trip planned for next week to look forward to .

I think I will be able to link to Leonie this week.....
