creative bits and pieces

I am at home with a terrible toothache. Hope the dentist can fix this tomorrow...

Some pictures from the last days. Above: making some snacks as a gift- in chocolate dipped dried fruits sprinkled with coconut and sugar pearls. Easy and fast to make.

Yesterday I was sewing something and the kids joined me in some spontaneous activity- plundering my button-tin-box. They stuck the buttons with sewing-pins onto some cork plates that we use for hot pots.

From what I got the "decorated cakes".

Helen finished her waving project- I sew it onto some felt- can be used to place hot drinks on top of it...

Helen also made some finger puppets. It was her idea- I just gave her the tip to use rubber gloves. It's very easy and fast- just cut of the fingers of some rubber gloves and glue the puppets onto it. I had the idea from here.
