fun for the whole family

 

I'm only a very basic knitter but the old knitting

needles that can be found in op shops

seem to find their way home with me

and I now have quite a collection.

 

So of course my mind wandered to a styrofoam ball

 

all covered in wool

 

with some old needles poking out and

 

even looking a bit like a strange planet outside...

 

We needed something new at our house

 to whack our heads on.

it's the little things

 

Slowly , slowly on the mend.

 

I'm still not able to do too much

 

 

but I did manage to gather all the old bits of necklaces

and ear rings that the teen girl and I had no use for

 

 

and connected them to an old fan cover.

 

They sparkle and shine as they hang

and looking at all the different things makes me so happy.

 

It's the little things.

 

who wants a lolly ?

 

Who wants a lolly ?

Go to bed and kiss your dolly .

 

These colourful lollies are fun and easy to make

so the kids can really get into the party spirit .

All you need are some plastic balls , I got mine from Big W ,

some cellophane and some curling ribbon .

 

Wrap the cellophane around and twist the ends to

make them look like lollies .

 

If you wrap the same colour cellophane around the

 same colour balls it looks really good !

 

Hang them inside or out they look so happy .

Also if you use coloured balls instead of styrofoam balls

they make a great take home gift instead of

the usual lolly bags .

 

I love mine so much they're staying up for good .
