filling the weekend

This weekend we were supposed to be welcoming a childhood friend of mine and her son to stay for a week long visit. Sadly her little boy got sick at the last moment and had to cancel (or rather postpone...I just heard as I write this that she's coming tomorrow!) So, we have had to fill our weekend doing other things: 
 we walked in the woods
 loving the purple of the bluebells
 peace and fresh air

 sunshine
 a small bit of dressing up.

I also have been crafting. I'm working on a very special doll for a very special person right now, but I can't show it to you until late May because I don't want to spoil the surprise...

But I will share these...
 Library bags :-)
 We are really enjoying visiting our local library at the moment and the kids have been asking for special library bags. I made these for them complete with pockets to hold their library cards (oh they are so proud to have the responsibility of their own cards!)

 I have also been thinking about teaching doll making online some how. I am going to have a trial run and show how to make a doll like this using these things:
I am going to have a free craft along for 15 people through my Facebook Under Rainbows page...do pop over and Like me if you haven't yet.
Hope you are having a good weekend...now I'm off to prepare for my friend arriving tomorrow after all :-)

    Oh the craft along thing sounds fabulous, and I would love to learn how to make a doll. I've kept a lot of both of my childrens clothing to use for making bits and pieces. Beautiful bags too :)
