We haven't done organised crafting for ages ... have we outgrown it? Probably more to do with the fact that our art room has been a revolting, disorganised, uninviting shambles for months, a state I finally remedied these past holidays.
And jeez did I unearth a lot of art.
Although not crafting as such, we always have paints available on a table in there and over the last while the girls have filled page after page with lovely colours and textures, all left on windowsills to dry and never thought of again.
I tell myself the process is more important than the end product but I still hate throwing these creations away.
Add to them the mountains of stuff which came home from school at the end of last term and ja, a lot of art.
The pick of the crop I stuck up on one wall, a towering monument to my small people's creativity.

And the enormous pile of abstract paintings I sorted and hole-punched with a 2" punch and artfully arranged in a frame I had hanging around (ha ha).
I'd love to do a massive one, in a white frame, but it's a start and I've no doubt those girls will produce much more material for me to use in the future!
