Yesterday morning

.....The kids in the Primary School were having a Christmas Party and mums and dads were invited to join to help  doing some decorations for the celebrations...

So I went in Y5B, where Tobia and his peers received some crafty instructions by their lovely teacher Mrs Rae...


There were 3 working tables, with all the tools and the materials they needed to prepare paper chains









Tobia was so happy with this craft, that he decided to gift me a paper chain bracelet...


...and while Tobia was taking the above pic, someone else (?) put this bag on a table in front of me...how funny.....


On one table were the instructions (and same samples too!) to reproduce kirigami paper trees as centerpieces for their party tables...













I tell you something : the lady shown above is a blog friend! Her name is Nasytah and she is the hostess of Colours of the Domestic Goddess !!!! Maybe, you could visit her later!!! ;oD

The third table was full of paper cups to decorate as you wish.....Cristmas galore....!!!!.....















It was so nice to share these happy crafty moments with the kids !!!! It's such a good way to enter the festive mood...!
There was a lot to take pictures of!!! Like some Christmassy details...





A gift to the teacher was given by our 3 Class Mums (Nasytah, Michelle and Niniek : thank you ladies!)



And before the big party, all the kids from the Y5 were engaged in some Christmas singing!!!
Our kids were following "Santa Claus is coming to town" with the voice of Mariah Carey





...Oh yes, even the teachers did sing a song.....!!!!

xxxx, Alessandra

Make it ! The Granny Yarn Chain !!!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ???? SURE YOU ARE !!! I now that!!!! ;oD So during this last week I was showing you via Instagram (see  my personal feed ) some colourful pictures about my new crochet w.i.p. , which I completed last night ... ... so this morning, before school/office time a couple of boys helped me with the last photos for this blog post ... TA-DAH ... The beauty of this project resides in the fact that is adaptable to any extent, any kind of yarn and any corner of your home (in or out!) !!! The inspiration and "creative kick" derives from two other projects I've seen around :  The Chain Statement Necklace  by my dear friend Miki from  Set Free My Gypsy Soul  and  Peggy's Comfy Indoors Blanket  by Pip Lincoln from  Meet Me at Mike's  !!! Thank you both, girls !!! It has been a long time since I've been wanting to crochet (or even knit !) a paper chain ... I made some long paper chains for our Christmas tree back in Indonesia but I al

Make it ! Knitted triangular scarf !!!

Last December, I saw a very simple and cute scarf knitted by Angie ( le monde de sucrette) and I thought to knit one for me, too, but then I was busy with the gifts to prepare for family and friends back in Italy .... so nothing was done for me!!! Luckily, some days ago, while browsing through my blogs list, I found a post from Ilaria ( IDA interior lifestyle) , who was proposing the same (she added a pompom!) piece of clothing .... I didn't have any excuse to wait longer for knitting my own triangular scarf!!!! ;oD So, I started .... Do you want to start one, too ??? Well, you need : some yarn ! My personal choice was : Lana Grossa Basics Calmo (59% acrylic, 24% cotton and 17% linen), shade 207. All my 4 balls of yarn (50g each) have been used for this project. Then 2 balls (50g each) from Rowan Classic Cotton Jeans Yarn (100% cotton), shade 365-Sierra, for both stripes and tassels! a pair of 4,5mm  knitting circular needles or, if you prefer, a pair of long strai

Make it ! The Granny Bunny !!!

You know, this picture from my  Instagram feed  has collected more than 900 likes ... ... and a colourful crocheter named Karin @woolfieber , made her own version just looking at my pic (you can find her work  HERE  ) !!!! My idea, since the beginning , was to prepare a photo tutorial for you, but do you really need one ? These Granny Bunnies are so easy to crochet, believe me !!!! YOU NEED : some colourful mercerised cotton a 3,5 mm hook a pair of scissors a tapestry needle beads for embellishments (optional) Please note that I follow the US crochet terminology, thank you ! Each bunny measures 13 cm in height and it can be used for different purposes : bunting, hanging decorations, appliques, brooches, on napkin rings and more !!!! The sky's the limit !!! You can use this pattern even with different yarns and, consequently, hook sizes !!! ;oD Abbreviations : DC = double crochet ch = chain SC = single crochet 2SCtog = 2 single crochet
