School gives you a week's notice to come up with a costume for something / colour scheme / handmade item etc ( as well as a donation for the privilege! ) Last week was no different for us when we got a letter saying the whole school was doing a Gangnam style dance in aid of the Meningitis Trust. A very worthwhile cause I'm sure you will agree. The children have to wear something yellow. And Caoimhe doesnt actually own anything yellow! After a desperate and fruitless hunt around the shops on Friday night, armed with yellow yarn, a hook and the Internet (god bless Ravelry ) I made her a yellow headband, decorated with yellow polka dot buttons. It didn't take long, just a few hours which took into account a fractious baby and having to make 2 to prevent world war 3! And I enjoyed my crochet time too. Its been neglected recently but I will have to rectify that I think!
I haven't neglected the sewing either. I've been busy hand sewing flowers and buttons on to polka dot fabric and I have some more cutting out to do before I can sew it all together and reveal the finished product. Those of you who have seen me on Facebook might have seen the sneaky peek I posted up over the weekend!
It's time to bimble over to Handmade Harbour for Handmade Monday. Hope you have a great week!
Til next time!

Some schools seem to think that while your children are with them you are sitting around with nothing to do ;0). The headband is lovely - well done. Hope you have a good week.
It gets worse when your children only tell you in the morning of the day they need something!!
@CatkinJane: yea I am looking forward to that!
@CHRISTMAS PIE CRAFTS: thanks :) I really enjoyed making it; )
The hairband looks lovely, your children are very lucky that mum can whip something up so quickly.
You have done a great job especially given the time limits!
Ingenious!
