Come holiday time, it can sometimes be difficult to find things to do with the kids but today the boys are being very industrious.
Louis is using fabric scraps to cover a box that he painted a few years ago. The box is still good, but as he likes to point out "the painting isn't that good, cause I did it when I was a kid".....I'm not sure where he sees himself in the scheme of things, but in my eyes he's definitely not an adult. Although he regularly disagrees - as far as he's concerned he can do whatever he wants to......hmmm
Anyway, back to the post - he's using the scraps from the Japanese quilt I made him. He's taking his time and being quite meticulous. Once it's covered we are going to lacquer it.
Julian has slowly been collecting Scheich knights and last week he bought this dragon. As we all know, every dragon should have a cave so he started making one and is now sitting down to paint it :)
Which means I have time to get on the computer and blog about it and then hopefully I will also have enough time to pin my table runner together so I can start quilting today - yipee! That will mean another project finished.....one of many ufo's I seem to have stashed everywhere.....that's the trouble with spring cleaning - it unearths a multitude of sins ;-)
Cheers

that fabric covered box is crazy awesome! Do you hire him out? lol.
both of their projects look great. Louis is a funny guy (a better call him a guy not a kid incase he reads this he he:)
sitting there the two of them, it looks as if they really know what they are doing. Louis box looks even professional especially to somebody like me who has two left hands. and is not that dragon lucky that he can sleep dry tonight?How is Julians knitting going ?
Good day!
Loks like fun at your house:)
Cute! Looks like they are having a lot of fun - I can't wait until my girls are old enough to do things like this.
Yay for junior crafting!
That box case looks so fantastic.

Oh I had forgotten those days of children crafting. They look very industrious though. Love that dragons cave.

Great work!!! They look so busy and very interesting in what they're doing! My son too tells me "I'm not a child anymore, mum" but he's just 13!!! I think he will be my child forever! And my daughter too.
Love the table runner with the hearts. Enjoy your week, Clara.
What a nice post, it's so great to see some strapping young lads getting their craft on!
Their projects look great! Love that dragons cave.
