Love to Craft

This week's 52mmm challenge came in the form of a story sack that I have made for one of the amazing support staff that we have in the Foundation Stage. Now that she has completed her training and is no longer on student pay, the school can not afford to pay her the going rate, which means that she will be moving on to pastures new. This is a picture of the story sack that I have made for her.

As you can see in this picture I also bought some Old MacDonald masks that are available from here. I love the resources that you can buy from Sweet Counter, they are especially good at shows where you can buy just single items instead of the class packs that they sell online.I have been meaning to show you this for a while. I can't help myself when it comes to fabrics, wools, haberdashery, sewing machines... So it will come as no surprise that I just couldn't resist buying this beauty... One of the appeals for me is that it looks and smells old. It has been well used and I can only imagine the history that it may have. Even more exciting was that when I opened the case I saw a little box inside. I eagerly opened the box and look what I found inside!It is the instruction manual, very battered and dog eared but still there!I also found the key! Happy days!Along with the pleasure comes the pain...I'm also trying to get my head around blogger, so that i can be organised and have labels on my post. Long overdue methinks, but at least I'm having a go now. It would all go well if I wasn't quite so special!
