My Creative Space - Ugh

Have you any idea how much crap my kids have in their Creative Space?


I really wanted to sit down at the kitchen table and make some of these this morning.

Tape Measure Rose brooches
Unfortunately, I can't see the table for bits of cut up paper, glitter, pens and shells and inexplicably, half a dozen Littlest Petshop toys.

I mentioned the words 'Mermaid theme Birthday party' yesterday and all hell broke loose in our kitchen. The birthday in question isn't actually until August. M decided she had to make paper shell bikinis for all the mermaids (hmm, going to be great in the middle of winter) and E decided to make paper starfish to decorate the house. Did you know that making paper starfish and flimsy shell bikinis causes deafness in little girls? It's true. I had to shout very loudly to make them understand that dinner was about to be placed on top of their creations before they could hear me and respond.

Anyway, I digress. I still can't see the kitchen table so I'm ignoring the fact that I have a market to sell at on Sunday and sorting out the kids Creative Space instead. Best get on with it...

love how kids are so in the moment and the glitter mess is always fun to clean up because you know it's going to be on you somewhere when you step out the house :)

Hi Sarah!
Looks like they've left you a little corner of the table! I hope you manage to get some done today. Great to see your space again.XXJennie

OPS (Other peoples stuff) is always one of those tired "sigh" moments. Hope you get it all done quickly so you can have some time for what you like :)

I do think it's cool that they are preparing already though. You're a cool mummy.

Mermaids and August??? What were you thinking woman? It's that damn Eclipse chewing gum ad isn't it - it's got to you !@#$%

holy cow - paper shell bikinis in august - i am so not dressing up at that one!

Love the enthusiasm though - don't you wish you could bottle it and use it for good - like packing up!

It is almost impossible to keep craft things tidy - kids or adult. Good luck with clean up. I love your tape measure brooches.

I'm afraid I'm the one crapping up the table at our house...did you know that Etsy causes deafness in mums?

Heeheee - we have similar issues here. For us, it is a case of "like mother like daughter (and sons)". But it seems I am not alone reading some of the other comments.
Perhaps we could start up our own support group ;).
