Today was week three of "Understanding Teenagers/Living with a Teenager" course.
This afternoon it was lovely and warm so I sat in the conservatory and thought what I could do with all the little scraps of wool that seem to be accumulating from doing crochet projects.
I used the cup pattern and used the thin blue yarn and just kept going until it covered the top of this little candle holder. It looks bigger than it is in the picture but is the size of a tea light or sampler candle, it is quite cute and lace like!

This was just some scrap I had left that was an experiment, I sat unpicking, crocheting, unpicking and crocheting until I came up with this. Looks quite pretty and can go under a plant pot.
This was the cup pattern again but I just kept going until it covered a jam jar and then put some flowers in and used it as a vase.
Roman is going on a school trip tomorrow so I said he could make some cakes to take. This was just a packet mix but he feels grown up doing it as all he has to do is add an egg and water and mix. We used muffin cases to make sure the cakes were substantial. They came out quite big!
Anais pressed these flowers last week...
...and did these ones today. We will come back to them in five and six weeks to see if they are dried out and flat.
Now a lot of the pieces have had two coats of paint and are dry Mark and Anais started gluing the carousel together. The centre rotates like the real thing.
