snow day activities

BOOOOO! Last week we had this:

Today, it looks like this:

And it's another snow day. Wouldn't be so bad, but tomorrow is a PD/Parent Teacher interview day, which means, no school for the kids. 2 days off before March Break next week. Timing folks. Timing.

Anyhow, things were slow this morning.

I've been hit by another massive head cold. Took the life right outta me it did.

Onwards...

Remember this finger knitting woven rug?

I finally cut the ties this morning.

 I tied the ends and then to the one next to it to create a little lip in edge.

I wasn't sure where to put it, but I think it will stay by the wood stove. 

These old knees find it hard to kneel on the floor to stoke the fire.

 Someone else found a good use for it too.

Just the right size. 

I'd like to make a few more of these, but from cut t-shirts.

On the table today...

Meccano

 Home made playdough. I've made this before, but I can't find it on my old blog. 

When I make it, I add the oil and food colouring to the hot water. 

It makes it a little easier to mix the colour in.

 And a batch of Banana Cookies

 I used the rest of the mix to make a bread.

Must muster up enough energy to run some errands. 

There's a trip to the Flying Fox Bake Shop as a reward to the kids for being dragged along.

have a good one,

Amanda
