crafty cousin.

i heart...

weekends with my cousin.

last weekend, my cousin sorrel came to stay & check out the new house. we had an awesome girly saturday night in with some dvds, pizza & sweets & of course some facemasks too...

after a nice wee lie in on sunday morning we had some breakfast on the balcony (yes i do have to mention the fact my house has a balcony looking onto fields, cows, hills aaaand a steam train at every given opportunity, haha.) then we got on with some crafting. i wasn't sure if sorrel would enjoy it as shes a 14 year old that likes x-factor, shopping & channing tatum. (don't worry i had no idea who he was either.) but, she seemed to really enjoy herself.

she had a go at using hama beads...

and i showed her how to knit, which took a bit more patience & somehow she managed to end up with double the amount of stitches on her needle at the end of each row, but she did really well & got there in the end...

she also did some clay work and sewed a polka dot headscarf on my ssewing machine - a very talented wee cousin i have.

i loved teaching her all these different crafty techniques & would love to do some workshops in the future, fingers crossed.

xox.
