Saturday Seven by remote control

Here's an easy Saturday Seven - three books, a child's beading kit, a puzzle, a pencil box and a pair of gloves. All from one drawer, oddly enough.

Also - my new fave crochet book:



Nelly Pailloux is the author of Crobots and she blogs at La Fee Crochette. Her work is lovely and I can't wait to master this.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Robots ate my brain

Well, that may be an overstatement. I really think he only showed up for the cake.

Youngest Boy just turned six and we are planning his "real" party for an upcoming weekend. Robots are the interest of the moment so I'm designing a "Robot Lab" birthday party. Youngest Daughter created the birthday robot artwork and we'll be making matching cupcake toppers, a "Pin the part on the Robot" game, as well as a "Feed the Robot" game. That's the classic "Clothespin in the bottle" game for all you oldsters out there!

I'm considering how much time I should spend on making crafts for the gift bags - either "plushies" or amigurumi robots like this one from La Fee Crochette. Pretty cute!

My baby sweater is moving along pretty slowly but I have discovered I love Blackberry Stitch!
