In the past week one pair of pyjamas had a hole cut in, one tape measure got hacked up (to 'share'), and a monkey got a haircut. I have lots of things like scissors and tape measures that the spawn find irresistably interesting. So, inspired by this project over at my new favourite blog, I thought I would spend a quiet moment making a keepsafe jar.
Essentially it is a coffee jar with a felt circle 3cm bigger than the lid, gathered with a running stitch, stuffed and glued on top. I sat it upside down to hold it on whilst gluing.
It looked like a jar wearing a shower cap, so I glued a leaf on the top, and some bright fabric around the base. I think it turned out quite cute, although I have inadvertently created something ELSE to attract the spawns attention. Have a great week!
