I am a magpie when it comes to the beach – I’ll pick up any old thing and my kids now do the same. We come home with pockets full of pebbles, shells and pretty looking garbage.
In an effort to organise the ‘treasure’ before it takes over our flat, I have started curating our little collections into memory jars.
** NEW VIDEO** Frida had her 4th birthday party the other day. She’s currently obsessed with Katy Perry’s Roar video so decking out the whole house like a jungle seemed to be logical thing to do. We made some jungle bunting out of paper, wool and string and I decorated the whole party for around £10.
I’m sure there are a lot of other people in the same predicament as me right now. You live in a flat with hardly any storage space, it’s summer, you no longer need a bulky winter duvet* but you have nowhere to put it if it’s not on your bed.
Dying and marbling easter eggs with gold nail polish. It’s really easy but not the tidiest craft project as you’ll see from the state of my hands by the end. But the results are really pretty. I’ve also shown you how to blow eggs, so if you’ve ever wondered whether it’s worth blowing an egg before you decorate it, you’ll see it’s quite easy.
I consider myself a seasoned crafter but today was the first time I have ever dyed eggs. We’re not religious people – Easter basically means ‘The Chocolate Festivus’ in our household – so I’ve never given much thought to non-chocolate eggs.
