paper flowers

As much as I love doing crafts with the kids, sometimes I need to do some of my own. I think it's good for them to see me busy with my own projects too. Most of my creativity goes into writing, not something they're able to appreciate, or access, yet.

Seeing me in front of my computer is certainly more frustrating than inspiring for them!

Found on Pinterest naturally, designed by the utterly inspiring Made by Joel. Visit the link for the how-to - so easy! - and stick around to check out all the other remarkable things he makes.

Lots of printables and downloads available there too.

The spare loo in our new house has this silly (and very, very ugly) permanent tooth glass/brush holder thingie attached to the wall. It's been calling out for some prettification for months now.

Much better.
