how big did you say that quilt cover was

so now you will know how to find me in a crowded room ill be the one in a sesame street top....i know its overload but its a quilt cover and there seems to be heaps of it...and it was martas suggestion not mine..they need summer pjs and marta said that her and claude could both have sesame street ones... its twee i know but there you have it please call stop if the sesame street outfits continue...

ive also had my nose stuck in a book....drusilla modjeskas 'stravinskys lunch' treat yourself

and i also painted up this wee boy....i ummed and ahhed over the outfit (its important how you look when you walk out the door) hes out to impress..i want him to be holding a late 70s cassettte player, i just have to remember what they looked like.

i have one more day of work and then we are all off to the beach...to avoid the shopping christmas cheer frenzie...

girls with tails..

well what have we been up to....lots i tell you. we started with ballons and tissue paper in a token and truely lost on a 3yr old (who i must say still thinks father christmas is big ears ...bless her)attempt at christmas balls...
we were covered in glue and as usual i had a hoot.

we have also been doing sticky windows ....of which my 1 1/2 yr old couldnt get enough of...

and yes the high light of the week is the wee little kinda concert. so let me tell you i love making a costume. when i heard of an end of year picnic i was dreaming up a frog cossie, or maybe a tree, a turtle or even a lion.....hum i was brimming with ideas and so 2 weeks ago the letter came home marta was to be a ....mermaid....jez what is it with girls and tizzie rolls. any way there it was a mermaid and we were off to the library for ideas....that was no help and made me feel even more overwhelmed...a three yr oid as a semi clad girl with tail....
so here it is a bit of sparkle, a bit of velcro and a simple enough notion of who a mermaid is.
