It's an exciting time in our house - Hunter starts big school next week. He's beyond excited.
I also started a new job this week so I've been working away getting organised in preparation for his big day. We've bought uniforms, his school branded bag and library bag and all of the other paraphernalia that goes along with an education.
It's brought back lovely memories of receiving new coloured pencils and school supplies when I was young. (I still have a thing for stationery.)
In getting organised, one of my primary goals was to make sure all of Hunter's belongings were properly labelled. Both Hunter and Charlotte attended preschool last year and I lost count of the number of bucket hats they misplaced. (Incidentally, where go bucket hats go to die? I'm sure there is an enormous pile somewhere hidden from all mothers with small children.)
Stuck on You kindly sent Hunter a range of personalised items to help avoid any losses and I've been busily attaching name labels, shoe dots and clothing lables to everything we buy.
Hunter was most impressed with his robot bag tag and exercise books and has already started practising his wrtiting.
I've used Stuck on You before to buy backpacks and lunchboxes and I highly recommend Their products. They're well designed and durable - you can't ask for more in a product for school.

It's an understatement to say I love a good print. I'd go as far as to say pretty fabric can turn a decidedly average mood into smiles and sunshine.
And there's nothing but sunshine in the Winter Water Factory collection. I love every. single. piece.
So do Hunter and Charlotte.
Charlotte asks to wear this dress every day, which has been less than ideal considering temperatures here have been around 40*C (104*F) most days lately. It's the first thing she'll pull from here closet when the weather cools.
Winter Water Factory also collaborated with Joy Cho from Oh Joy! to produce four cute items for newborns using one of Cho's signature prints.
Love the prints too? Winter Water Factory are having a 40% off sale. Run, don't walk.

There’s a certain humility that accompanies the truly talented; a quiet calm that seems to come from being able to create things of beauty.
Jenny Batt of Hank & Hunt has that humility in spades. Sweet and generous, she’s just as approachable as her party craft tutorials.
Blasting onto the blogging scene a mere three years ago, Jenny is now a darling of the DIY community.
Jenny landed her first job at The Sweetest Occasion after responding to an open call for contributors and she still thanks her lucky stars for that first break. Since then, she has been approached to contribute to Oh Happy Day, Hellobee, Project Wedding and is also the Altitude Summit Channel Director.

I started blogging in August 2009 because I was offered a position as a craft contributor for one of my favourite blogs, Bloesem Kids.
Since then, I've produced a lot of craft tutorials for kids. Recently, I was going back through my archives and stumbled across projects I'd forgotten about so I thought it would be nice to do a roundup of some of the projects I've created.
1. Recycled Castle - use items from around your home to create this paper castle.
2. Scrap paper pictures - if you're like us, you'll have lots of paper in your house left over from craft and preschool projects. This is a great project to create lovely art with your scraps.
3. Toy drum - kids love drums. Make this one from a food tin and download the template to decorate it with your own marching band.
4. Totem poles - simply take some postage tubes, paint and coloured paper to make these 'scary statues'.
5. Animal masks - My children love wearing masks. Especially animal masks. This project gives you instructions for making a cute rabbit and pig mask from items around the house. Template included.
6. Easter Bunny egg cosies - Perfect for keeping your eggs warm, this project is perfect for older children who want a cute friend for Easter.
I hope you enjoy these projects as much as we did.
