Children crafting anyone?

So there I was setting everything up to do some nice crafting with the kids...by the time I'd put all the necessary stuff on the table they'd vanished. So I did it all by myself and had great fun doing so .
Here are my little gigis...


Now I only have 321 odd socks left...

Boat curtains

I needed to make Francis' bedroom darker due to the fact that he isn't sleeping much "because it's not night-time yet, mummy" (don't we adore the little angels!) So here it is the hand made blind to cover the 3 sided undereave window .

The boats are machine appliqueed on denim using some fabrics matching the pirate quilt I had just done.

What you do for one ....Here in a nautical theme

Ben 10 quilt

My son has a thing for Ben 10 at the moment so when I asked him what he wanted for a bedspread guess what it was????? All the figures are hand embroidered then machine appliqueed

XLR8


Heatblast

Greymatter

Four Arms


I got fed up after that and the reamining 6 are a lot harder to draw so poor little Ivon has to live with only 4 aliens...









Kids costumes

Here are some of the costumes I made for the "Peter Pan" show for which my hubby composed the music. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the back of the crocodile complete with tail and all or of the gorgeous leafy costume I made for the lead (kid used his sister's grrrrrrr)
And I didn't choose the tights colours either....
