Today was Roman's first day back at school :-(
Me and Anais had a "girly day" I promised her ages ago to go to the cinema and see a film of her choice. She wanted to see "Now you see me" but that's not on anymore. The choices were One Direction, The Movie (luckily she isn't a "Directioner"), Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters (I have fish phobia) and Wolverine (don't like Sci fi/fantasy either) Anais chose Wolverine!
It actually wasn't too bad, I didn't sit there wishing we could leave halfway through anyway! Anais really enjoyed it.

We came home for lunch and had a go at making soap this afternoon. I brought this soap making kit brand new from the car boot sale last year for 50p! The RRP in Hobbycraft is £9.99.
I only used it once last year but didn't use the fragrance that came with it, I used a lavender essential oil instead but it didn't blend in with the soap and seemed to "separate" to this day the soap hasn't dried properly and seems "sticky".
We had another go at it today.
Here is Anais melting the soap compound which took a while. The compound is clear, the instructions said add talcum powder to make it opaque and then some colour powder and fragrance that came with it, Anais chose pink.
I don't think she stirred it enough as when they dried and we took them out the moulds they are pink speckled although this actually looks very pretty!

The day was completed with a trip to the sports shop to buy some black trainers for school. We found some nice ones with pink stripes which seemed a little funkier than plain black ones!
Also today I have started crafting for Christmas!!!!!! Last year I brought some packs of small jingle bells from Hobbycraft and used them on the front of embroidered Christmas cards. I still have approx 55 small bells and 30 larger sized bells left. Today I had an idea what I could do with them to use them up.

Jingle bell crochet doily? At least I will hear if anyone tries to get the sweets!
Sneak peek! Hopefully will finish tomorrow.

Message for Jenny! Check your apples!
Two of ours had started to go funny so I made them into crumbles. When I was peeling and slicing them some had gone rotten from the inside out too and there wasn't much left. I mixed them with a bag of rhubarb from the freezer.
They turned into three apple and rhubarb crumbles and one plain rhubarb crumble.
