A Brief Hiatus

The past couple of weeks have gone by in a fog of man flu, teething and itchy eyes chez maison little monster. We have got a few bits done but not as much as I'd hoped.  I finally managed so sew up some of the much needed dribble bibs - nothing can cope with the current torrent that the little monster is producing.

We also celebrated Granddad's 60th birthday with the help of a big squishy chocolate cake and a little homemade present from the monster herself.

I'm still a bit wary of using handprints as the monster can get her hands in her mouth much faster than I can stop her so we stuck to footprints and made a couple of customised handkerchiefs.

She seemed to enjoy the feel of the paint between her toes and we got some really clear prints.  I used Tulip fabric paints as they seemed to be the easiest non-toxic paints to get hold of.  I'm glad I did a bit of googling before we started as using really sturdy cardboard underneath the fabric, as recommended by numerous online sources, made all the difference.
