It's a very special Wednesday here at Crazy Towers. Today Louis started Junior School and Bella started Infant school. I count myself very lucky that they were both beside themselves with excitement about going back to school, especially when lots of other parents were dealing with tears. Louis almost didn't make it this morning as we were in A&E late last night getting his ankle X-rayed because he jumped out of a 10ft tree house last week!
Bella was very excited about her plimsoll bag that I commissioned from the lovely Lunch Lady Jan. She loves it and there were certainly no others anything like it on the many pegs this morning - thank you Jan!
If you are thinking that my pictures are a bit off this morning, you'd be right. My camera is bust. This is the best shot I could get of my desk with the rotator ring sticking the zoom on maximum. I've still got a few bits of the Echo Park collection to use up and I hope to really get back on the crafting wagon as Bella goes full time in a few weeks.
I had a day earlier in the week with just Louis and we made this house out of a pop out kit. As he was finishing up he said "I sort of used the instructions but I'm afraid I had to take some creative liberties!" I was in hysterics but oh so proud of him too. Its a phrase from Calvin and Hobbes apparently about homework but I was happy to hear my boy using such a perfect phrase about his crafting.
Time to head on over to Julia's and find the rest of the creative desks from around the world. See you there!
Bye for now

Don't they look lovely all ready for a new school year! Creative liberties really made me laugh :) I hope you get your camera fixed soon x
ReplyDeleteOh what wonderful pictures you have of them off to school and all the time you will have soon for all your crafting.. Jans bag looks adorable and what a great idea to get something so easily recognisable and unique makes it so much easier..
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

ReplyDeleteHi Lisa Jane. School starts tomorrow where we are - I wish I had such a great sweatshirt colour when I was at school - who wants to wear grey!?? Love the creative liberties quip. Definitely a budding artist speaking. Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 70
ReplyDeleteYour children are so cute. I like their little school uniforms. I love the statement your son made about taking creative liberties. Hilarious...Happy crafting #1

Cute pic...sorry about the busts cared camera, I know nothing about any of that, so am no help. Meanwhile, your sons house and phrase work are marvellous, what a laugh! Bless his crafty little head.

ReplyDeleteHeading off to school - we're getting ready for Princess to go to Uni. Still going to take 'first day photos' tho'!
ReplyDeleteHope you get the camera fixed, although have to confess I now take most of my photos with my iphone!
Creative liberties! If that's what he can do now, he has a fine future of creativity ahead of him. Best of luck to them both for the new school year.
ReplyDeleteSo that's where that lovely dap bag from Jan's blog went! I had a year where one started junior and one infants - those were the days!
ReplyDeleteGreat paper house Louis.

ReplyDeleteTrust you get the time you need for everything which needs doing.
Take care
