nature reserve and crafting

As you probably know, we have agreed to share a craft stall on Sunday with some friends. It was all fine saying yes to this 4 months ago but then we had to actually get on and make things! I was running out of time so my Mom very kindly agreed to take the children out for the day so that I could finish a few things off.
The kids went to the nature reserve and did some pond dipping with their friends,

playing horsie,

climbing trees,

and logs,

and some drawing.

While I made mushrooms,

played with buttons,

made little bug gardens,

(I just loved the idea of a plate full of bugs, worms, snails and mushrooms :o))

hair clips,

hairbands,

Whammit dolls,

and put the buttons on the booties. *phew* still have labels to do but feeling much better.
