K & M have been dressing cats and dogs.
Tabby Kitten has a new top, made by K. A rectangle with a hole cut in the middle, then stitched up the sides with buttons for decoration.
Christopher has a new collar and tag (they're at the back), made by M using a bone shaped bead thing she found yesterday at Wollaton.
Spot has a lovely new hat and bib made by M.
Those were all made yesterday evening. Today M decided to go one step further and be a dog!
We've only got pink, blue and white face paints at the moment, but the make up that I hardly ever use came in handy, as did a couple of pairs of my socks.
After this M wanted to face paint me...
M was slightly put out that I didn't want to leave the house like that, but I really wasn't up for that! We went to spend the day with friends, because they had an 'insect' day. At the request of boy M (who's a year older than K, there's also girl A, who is about the same age as M and their mum another K!), we took Carcassonne with us and played that and also a couple of game that they have, which I think we're going to invest in. We all played Pairs in Pears (http://www.bananagrams.com/Our_Games/Pairs_In_Pears/) and while the children played dinosaur Top Trumps, mum K and I played Bananagrams (http://www.bananagrams.com/Our_Games/Bananagrams/), which is a bit tricky for K & M at the moment, but boy M and I played afterwards. I really enjoyed it and the tiles can be used in all sorts of ways in the mean time. It's a bit like having a set of scrabble tiles in a handy bag.
