Sewing Project - Little Red Riding Hood Cape

I work in an infant school and our topic was Little Red Riding Hood.  Children love to dress up and we didn't have anything for little Red.

I do like a good sewing challenge.  So I took it upon myself to make, not one or two but 4 capes for Reception Year.

I found a great pattern online (I can't find the details at the moment, but when I do I will edit this post and add them).  So easy to alter, cut and sew, my kind of project.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Hobbies

OK, so I have joined the New Crumpets Nail Tarts group and will be taking part in the "40 Great Nail Art Ideas" challenge.

It sounded quite complicated, but I think I have got the gist of it. It is to run over 52 weeks and it is split into two bits. The first is themed and the second is colour/pattern.

The first challenge is Hobbies.

I am a day late as I only joined yesterday so mine is a bit rushed.  I did this manicure over what I am already wearing.

Apart from nail art and nail polish one of my other hobbies is sewing.  So I made some home made decals using clear polish and tracing over some pictures with a sharpie, and voila.
