I woke up on Saturday morning feeling rather inspired to sew! I went through all my materials and decided to make a skirt for child no. 3, who is rather obsessed with skirts and dresses! However, in the meantime, I came across an old craft book which my mother used to use. It brought back old memories of when I was a little girl. I
used to make little mice out of felt and create little mice villages. I thought while I am in a 'sewing mood' I should make my children some little mice! Sooooo I spent the rest of the day was spent making 10 little white, cream, light brown and dark brown mice! While I was making the mice, the kids made houses, boats, furniture etc. for the mice. It kept us all entertained for most of the day.!
Later that day I helped them create some mini sand boxes. Because the sand pit has been rather soggy lately, I put some sand in a shallow box and gave the
m small animals, diggers, rocks, sticks, leaves, glitter, and little people and let them create a mini place! My kids love sand and this keeps them busy for ages and they don't get all sandy!!

Hi Felicity
I came across your blog from Kristy's. I'm going to come back and check it again soon. My nearly 4 year old and I love making crafty things too. I like your mini sand box idea, I'll have to give that a go. I was also really interested in reading what you had to say about being cheerful. Thanks, Sarah
