weekend :: making

We've just had a lovely weekend. Nothing special at all, just a good, homey weekend. It's been a very busy and sometimes stressful month, and we all needed to recharge and get our equilibriums back. There was baking and roasting, playing tennis, cafe and market visiting but really just a whole lot of relax time. I wanted to make some things for some special people too, and Little Mister Yardage was my willing assistant ...


We made some beads together using some oven dry clay (Sculpey). It was so much fun mixing colours together and making some very "on trend" necklaces to be gifted. I can see why so many people like making these! Great kid craft too.


I also printed some little tops to go with the beads. We chose my "kissing birds" design, which for those in the know is actually my fabric 'stash design, but who cares ~ they can be kissing birds or pretty moustaches! Today these little goodies go in the post.

The week ahead is also a busy one, but at least we feel rested and ready for it. Wishing you all a productive and fun week!

I love that design, it can look like a "tash, or like kissing birds, so versatile.

Yes, we love making the sculpey/fimo beads here too, lots of fun for everyone with this :)

Oh very nice. The beads look like a great idea - don't mind a pink and red combo at all! And what a great idea to do that print on tees too. You could make yourself a matching tee and tote outfit. Cool!!

There is nothing like an 'ordinary' weekend to recharge the batteries. We had a busy one but thankfully yesterday and today are pretty slow, I really needed that!
