Book Week and stitching

The big boys had book week last week so it was fun to help with their costumes. Benny wanted to be the Cat in the Hat which was not too difficult as some kind person had a great pattern for the hat on Pinterest. What a wonderful resource it is.....even if it wastes time as you are tempted to look at it frequently. Here is the hat and bow tie.
Sammy wanted to be Superworm which was a little trickier. Amy had great ideas and we were both a bit worried as to how to do it. In the end the stuffed stockings worked a treat! The boys helped to stuff some of them  them after preschool one afternoon and then Amy worked out how to join them and make the rest of the costume. Don't they look good!

 There has been knitting going on here but I did do the next part of Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs. I am loving this project!
 The ladies at class yesterday just loved Jayne's gorgeous little coaster. I was a bit nervous putting the cup of tea onto it! It is such a cute pattern that she found here.
