Book Week Dress Up - WHERE IS THE GREEN SHEEP?

This year's book week theme was Australia: Story Country. I was excited at the thought of my daughter getting dressed up for her first book week parade at school as I have such fond memories of my own back in primary school.

We went through our bookshelves looking for ideas and stopped at "Where is the Green Sheep?" by Mem Fox. It's a strong favourite in our house and also one of the first books that my daughter read by herself. So we picked up a bright green sweater at an op shop.

I cut the arms off and we found a green winter hat in the cupboard, as well as some leggings and a green long-sleeved shirt. Then we set to work on a sheep mask. I loved that she could help to make it herself. Thank you Danya Banya for the mask idea :)

Masks complete! The test run.

Off to school as a green sheep!

Simple, no frills and a proper book character! <3 <3 <3

The School Father's Day Stall

Last week my daughter took these little gems off to school to contribute to tomorrow's Father's Day Stall - tissue holders and earbud pouches from fabrics chosen by my kids. I sent them off wishing I'd made an extra few for me and my husband.



After being caught out by the Mother's Day stall earlier this year with not enough time to make anything, I'd been saving a few pins to my Pinterest Boards for ideas.
