Made it Monday..........

Some Christmas inspired hats as that season is on the horizon. It is a tad warm here for my girls to wear such hats but who cares if they look so cute!! 

They are in my shop if you would like to take a peep.

The other day when I was sitting on the couch sewing and watching tv I was making some wee litttle fellas and these are them all finished.  Little sleeping bunnies!!

Made it Monday mushrooms............

Literally made today(3 of them) on this Monday first day of another round of school holidays! In my La Petite chouette shop right now for you to browse:)

Made it Monday................

Nothing made this weekend but a good time!!! My husband and a friends husband have both been away for a couple of weeks now and we treated our families to a weekend away at some local bungalows. This place is actually a golfers resort but they have a pool and a restaurant and you can sit on your little terrace for a pre dinner drink while the kids play on the lawn. What more could you ask for!! 

We returned home last night the kids were dog tired from swimming so much and me well I came home with an insect bite that has gotten all infected. A visit to the doctor today, a course of antibiotics and a little rest and all will be fine. You have to careful in this heat and bites I only got this sucker on Saturday night and by Sunday evening my big toe was throbbing like you wouldn't believe.

Anyway come back next Monday and you may see some handcrafted stuff!!

Monday Monday!!! We have woken up to a beautiful day which makes it so much easier to start the week!! Actually the weather over the whole weekend was marvellous so there was not much done other than soaking it all in which meant not much crafting. Django was the crafting boy in the house and he made another feltie. His name is Pumpkin head and he is from the Zombie Felties. This book sure is a winner in my eyes, if it gets boys doing things like learning to sew then I see that as a very good thing. It's a good book if you are looking for stocking fillers for boys & girls!! The time to be thinking of such things is getting near and for us who need to get it all sent to far off places you need to be prepared. Anyway enough ramble hope you are having a great start to the week!!

P.S I have been making a few new Blythe hats for the shop in my spare moments:)

Made it Monday.........

Made it Monday is bought to you by Django this week. He has entered a competition in The Utterly Awesome Blythe Club and had to produce something for the blythe girls made from cardboard. Here it is their own special dressing screen. As you can see Guava used it straight away!!

No craft for this Made it Monday only yummy banana choccy muffins!! I honestly thought I was not going to be able to post anything hand/homemade today but something always pops up doesn't it!! This recipe is literally a 5 minute put together and there is always brown bananas here which is always the incentive to make them.

Recipe as follows-

1 1/2 cups sr flour

1/2 cup caster sugar

1/2 cup vege oil

1/2 cup milk

1 egg

vanilla

and then anything you wanto add to them. We do love banana choc but we also love a little passionfruit mixed in too!!

Method

Place dry ingedients in a bowl, mix wet ingredients together. Put wet into dry and add your flavouring. You know the rest in a moderate oven for about 15 mins or until they spring back when touched.

Let me know if you have a favourite muffin you like to make as we are always open to trying new things around here.

Made it Monday............

Last Friday we had a visit from a friend and her mum. My friend is American and her folks were out here visiting. This friends mum is always sending her new things that a all the rage back home. This time she bought me a little gift. Something so completely new to me, I haven't even seen it around the internet and often you come across new stuff when you are seeking out other stuff. Anyway this new thing is called Zentangle. It is all about the creative doodle apparently! I got a book to show me where to start, some of the little cards to draw on and a pencil and fine outlining pen. So here you go my little bit of creativity this weekend was drawing and I liked it. The book & bits were left on the coffee table so I picked it up and did a little everytime I had a free minute. The kids even had a go.  I think it will be good for all of us to do as it is a bit of free thinking art, no rules that need to be followed you just go with the flow.

Has anybody got anything to show on made it Monday!!

Made it Monday...........

Over the last few months my little blog has been floundering all about the place. I lost interest a bit, I didn't think I had much to write about and sometimes I just didn't have the time. I was having thoughts of giving it up but then did a backflip on that idea. I do really like having my blog and sharing some of my life with you all. Anyway I thought to get No life without wife back on track I would give it a bit of structure. A few days of the week I will talk about something in particular. I am going to start it off with Made it Monday. Usually on the weekends I get a little time to do some crafting and thought on a Monday I can showcase what I have done and if I don't get to do anything I am sure I will find someone in blogland that has been crafty.

Here is my offering for this week! Yesterday while watching the rugby with my hubby I finally worked out the pattern for a pixie helmut for my dollies. I love it and the pattern is so easy I have completed another 2 already in between looking after everybody else in the house. 

Decorated with a couple of flower shaped yo-yo's.

Let me know if you got up to anything crafty on the weekend that's what Made it Monday is for!!
