My Creative Space

This week, I've been away from home so haven't had much of a chance to work on any projects.

But, I did manage to start a little project for Jack. I found a little oven on the side of the road for council clean up (oh, how I love council clean up!) and brought it home to make over.

I took Jack to the hardware to choose some paint. He chose a lovely green and white. We have started, and it's looking good. Should need one more coat of green paint and then we can do the knobs in white.

The artists at work!

After 2 coats of paint

I think it will look really cool once we have finished.

Jack getting into ironing!

Last week at our local markets, I bought this little ironing board for Jack. We didn't have a little iron, but he has been having fun lining his cars up on it!

Yesterday I was at my mum's place and what did I spy?? My old little iron from when I was little! Jack has been ironing away since we brought it home.. he even ironed his dad's work shirt this morning! What a big help he is :)

I'm thinking I'm going to give the ironing board a make over. Maybe paint the legs and make up a new ironing board cover in boyish colours. Add it to the loooong list of things to do!

"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. I'll always be with you.” from Winnie the Pooh

I saw this quote and thought of my boy, Jack. He is my little mate :)

Happy Easter!

My boy and his baby

Jack has a favourite toy... his little baby. I bought it for him when I brought Luke home and he is such a great little Mama bear to it. The baby (whose name IS baby) is cuddled every night in bed, has a day bed in the lounge room (that Jack tucks him into whenever baby is showing any signs of being tired), is breastfed quite often during the day and goes along to preschool with Jack. I've even babysat baby when Jack has "gone to work" in the sandpit. I'm such a good Grandma :)

He just loves baby and here's a pic of the 2 of them together xx

Sunday Citar. Cake!

"Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake!"

As I have mentioned before, it was my son's third birthday just over a week ago. Today, we had my family celebration and this meant... more CAKE! There's always a good reason to eat cake, right? I made the cake for him. He loves cars, so a little race track on a number 3 seemed like a good idea. And oh boy. It was delicious!!!
