Surviving heat and children.

Yesterday broke records, as we had our third consecutive hottest day (45C) in Victoria's history. Needless to say, I tried to do very little, in an attempt to stay cool.
My three year old, however, had other ideas. I think he may be a budding artist.
Yes, that is him, looking very pleased with himself after drawing on his brother's bedroom wall. I had to laugh. If I didn't, I think I may well have cried. Little bugger.
What you can't see in the first photo is that he is actually sitting up on top of his brother's wardrobe. Urgh!!! I think he is actively trying to give me a heart-attack!

I made a start on my youngest sister's birthday present. I'm making her a felt tea-set with the patterns I got from Umecrafts. You should follow the link and check out Jeanette's Etsy store, she has the most adorable felt food patterns-I've become a mite obsessed! This is the teacup and saucer I finished yesterday. Y'know, in-between fishing children down from the top of wardrobes and cleaning texta off walls.

Tomorrow I officially re-start my 365-day craft challenge. I'm also heading down to the hotrod run to check out all the awesome cars. And the rockabilly chicks. Those girls are wicked;)

Further behind!

Well, my 365 day challenge has so far been a may-jah flop!
I am thinking of re-starting on the 1st of Feb, as my eldest will have started school then, and routines will be back to some state of normalcy.
I did manage to make something last week-a penguin brooch for my sister's 14th birthday.
I can take absolutely no credit for the design however, as I am a naughty, naughty copycat-it is a blatant rip-off of a pin made by Lupin. I hope she doesn' t mind!!!
This is the pin I made....

Inspired by this one made by Lupin...
