A weekend snug at home

This weekend was very damp cold and grotty and we didn't get a drop of snow :( so after a little walk to grandmas we all snuggled up at home and read books baked cakes and played with toys and did some crafting.

We've recently started allowing Ben to use the laptop we got him a bumblebee mouse which is nice and chunky for little hands hes got the hang of it very quickly and really really loves going on the official Lego website which has some little simple games on it that he can play without to much difficulty his favourite game being the Starwars Lego spaceship game :)

These are my recent charity shop finds ,Ive always had a fascination for Russian nesting dolls especially the teenie tiny one and the pixies were equally fascinated too although sunday was spent searching for the teenie tiny doll who was later found in the toy garage.     
I found the dresser in a British heart foundation shop and bought it  straight away it was reduced from £100 to £60!!! and they kindly delivered it for me too :)  ive wanted one for ages as somewhere for displaying all my handmade stuff  and the cupboard bit is perfect for storing our ever growing collection of games and jigsaws. I'm not sure if I'm gonna paint it yet where just living with it and seeing how we like it unpainted at the moment .

Daisy and Molly busy putting all their cuddly toys and dolls to bed.

I finished off some crafty makes that have been hanging about unfinished for a while. The first was a knitted felted purse and the second was a bag tidy for all those pesky plastic bags that despite all my best efforts with cloth bags keep finding their way into our house ! grrr but at least they look pretty and tidy now :)
