My Creative Space - Absolutely no help whatsoever.

Madeleine is learning about life long ago at school this term. Apparently, children in the olden days were given jobs to do by their parents to make life easier for the family (what happened? Why did we lose touch with the good old days?!).

A finished Robot t-shirt for this Sunday's market

It's market day this Sunday for the Devonport Craft Market which means life gets a little busy around here.

There's the stocking up of the stall for a start.

Babushka onesie

And the organising of the market too.

I snuck in a little knitting. Some fingerless gloves for the Mister.

And for some reason, my family expects me to still clean the house, shop and cook meals. I decided this morning that I would try some of the old fashioned methods of getting the small people in the house to do their bit. Eloise was very pleased to help. Offered to do the cooking AND the washing up (rainwater soup and plastic pizza anyone?)

Unfortunately, even that proved too much and she was very soon caught slacking on the job.

I blame the sunshine. It did occur to me to find a long extension lead and park the sewing machine on the deck. In the end I decided that procrastination was the order of the day, grabbed my sunglasses and joined the small person for a spot of rainwater soup.

There are some truly wonderful Creative Spaces over on Kirsty's blog. I'm quite sure none of them are procrastinators so hop along and admire.

My Creative Space - Buttons and things

My Creative Space is sewing buttons on Robot T-shirts

Sewing flowers on fairy skirts

and button eyes on sock monkeys

And sometime today, I'm hoping to talk the small person into modelling some flower filled fairy skirts ready for my Felt shop.
