So just a quick one to get back into things. My 6 year old niece is always really interested in what I have made and how I have made it. Today Simon took the boys to Manchester airport to see the aeroplanes so I had a bit of time to rest/tidy up. I'd just finished packing up a box of crafty bits to take upstairs when my brother arrived with my niece and nephew. She asked if I'd been crafting and Since I've been unwell I've not actually made anything. I did however have a heart shaped chalkboard on the table that I'd finished a little while ago, but needed to drill holes in, so I showed her that. She wanted to k ow how I made so I explained. She seemed AMAZED!! Bless her
I had a scrap piece of MDF on the table which was actually used as a DIY wedge but thought would be good to let her play with. She put 3 layers of chalkboard paint on, covered the sides and back and played around with a handful of embellishments I gave her until she decided on how she best liked them placed. I did help her by doing the dotty border and sticking he bits down (as I use superglue) but it was entirely her design. She, of course, added her name. She left the house with her stick of chalk and wet wipe a very happy little girl. And I waved her off a happy aunty! Here is her creation:
