I really do like making things

My Grandad sent over some colourful oblong foam blocks, thinking they may be of some use.  They are! the kids have loved playing with them, in one evening they had been a train, stacked as a tower, a seat...I thought great, just leave them as they are...then M sat watching a film and quietly picked away at the edges...hmmm better cover them there foam blocks.  The largest one I covered with red velvet (leftovers from the cloak)...

I decided to make a patchwork cover for the smaller block: old jeans.  I wish I hadn't rushed it, then all the squares would have been in line...

I was on a roll...what else could I make?  I ordered some washi tape online and it dropped through the letterbox the other day.  I was so disappointed when I opened the 10 rolls of teeny tiny tape, I was expecting masking tape sized rolls! Anyway, I keep seeing pictures of peg games online and I've been meaning to have a go at making my own...yesterday was that day.  

Ro was poorly, he just wanted to do quiet things: jigsaws, reading...so I made him a washi tape colour matching peg game...

and as I had another side to the pegs...I made another...

this time for counting...silver mirrored stars (table confetti) a black ink pad and some rubber stamps...I really do like making things...Nx
