Being, almost, creative and using my Brain. Sort of.

Having never done so before on Saturday I made a wordsearch.

It’s merely of things I like and the first one i did was tiny and easy so there are actually several pictures for this post:

The first (blurry) handrawn, obscenely easy wordsearch:

The second, also handrawn, much harder wordsearch:

And then finally I typed it up onto the computer and David and I spent a while looking for words as I couldn’t remember where they were- particularly Lego and Swings:

It was fun to make and fun to do and took up the time after dinner and Buffy and before bed.

Imaginary Lion Taming

(Written on, mostly, webless Wednesday!)

I built myself (and David I suppose) a table and two chairs today. Woo!

Here are the bits prior to assembly:

Neat and tidy little pile. 2 and half hous later here’s the finished product:

Two and a half bloody hours! Some of the holes weren’t in the right places so I couldn’t actually put all the screws in. In order to make sure things were stable I sat on both chairs and the table after completion and then waved the chairs around the room a bit to make sure they wouldn’t fall apart. They didn’t, though I probably looked like an idiot to anyone who happened to look through the window at me waving chairs around a room!

It was harder than I’d thought it would be but I feel happy sitting here at my table on my computer so it was definitely worth it!

Pom Pom puppetry

Inspired by how stupidly easy yesterdays puppet making was today I made a bee pom pom puppet.

I’ll pop the pictures i took of making the first (non puppet) pom pom on as well as of the bee.

Again it has no name, I shall need these by Wednesday as that’s when I plan to write my puppet show to go with my puppets so i can spend the end of the week making a little puppet theatre.

With a bit of luck (and no more sick staff at work!) it’ll be done so that I can wow people with a puppet show on Sunday. Bet that makes the Reading Girlies quake in fear and everyone else sigh with relief!?

Without further ado- the making of Mr Gay Bee:

And here’s one of Mr Gay Bee with the nameless tiger:

Puppetry!

Having purchased a puppet kit from Wilkinsons for 50p I duly made myself a little tiger on Day 7 (9th March for those who work by actual dates!) The actual kit was for very small children so even I could make it! There were cut out holes to put the plastic needle (it had a nobble rather than a point to make very sure there were no accidents!) through and all the stripes etc were stickers but it was very fun to make and I added bits to the design as the picture on the pack had no mouth.

He’s very cute but as yet has no name! Any suggestions?
