bye bye birdies

making the birds for the kiwi xmas ornament swap has been a fun experience. They're now all packed up and ready to be posted. I can't wait to see what shows up in my letterbox when the other crafters in my swap group send theirs.

next up in the crafting queue is a couple of child-inspired projects centred around this vintage recipe that I found recently. (click on the photo to enlarge the image for easier reading). Keeping Miss almost 3 in mind, I'm thinking that an apron with big patch pockets, a cape with a hood and a treasure bag (for all those leaves, pebbles, bottle caps etc that she somehow seems to find when we go for walks) would be good things to make.
