The ‘teach me’ series is all about learning how to do things I can’t from clever clog wearers who can. I’m learning so much as we go and I hope you are too! This week I’m welcoming an old bloggy mate of mine (one of my very first, actually!), Emma from Frog, Goose + Bear. You…
Make an egg carton cupcake holder
While researching a Kidspot story, I came across the egg carton cupcake holder at The Clever Carrot. How ingenious is using an egg carton to transport little cupcakes? It may seem like ‘ingenious’ is pushing it, but if you’ve ever struggled to keep those little blighters upright and unsmushed as you tumble into school on birthday…
Make some Easter bunny ear bags {step-by-step tutorial}
I saw this sweet, simple idea on Oh Happy Day and just knew the kids would love having a go at it. Of course, to up the difficulty factor we decided to make one for Every Kid in the Class. Because if something can be sweet and simple we like to make it as exhausting…
Pin of the Day | Brought to you by the letter…
Twigg Studios is a new find for me and what a super little find it is. I reckon I pinned faster than I’ve ever pinned before and then I realised that there was A LOT of soft pink and pastels being pinned by a person not generally into such things. So I stopped. But not…

Some ideas to organise your craft space

Make some Rudolf wrapped chocolates for Christmas
This is the fourth time I’ve done an Every Kid in the Class Thing post for Christmas. When did my blog get to be so ooooold? This time I found a great little printable idea over on Fe Fi Fo Famma and just went with that. Anna did a lot of cute cutting out and adding…

DIY Flower garden party invitations
On Sunday, Cappers and I had a lovely time making the invitations for her 8th birthday party. She’s asked for a ‘flower garden party’ so we made tissue paper flower invites to spread the party word. I found the idea at inchmark. I confess that I’m rather thrilled to be putting together a flower garden…
