Week - 15

This week sees the arrival of my sister’s two oldest children from Darwin for a 10 day visit with us. They are the same ages as my two oldest which make it 5 children 13yrs and under. So a full week of activities this week and next week will be the same. I spent the entire week just playing with the kids (as well as feeding and cleaning up after them,lol and after a week of late nights to 1-2am, I’m exhausted let me just say) and one activity I’ve been doing with them quite a bit during quiet moments(quiet?? yeah right), is learning new weaves myself and teaching the kids some weaving firstly with this plastic stuff,.. then teaching them how to make simple macrame bracelets with beads. I put together the fruits of my plastic weaving labour, hee hee, for you to see. My macrame bracelets were claimed and are probably still in bed or amongst kid clutter on a bedroom floor. While I never got a moment spare to get to my workbench and this week’s FSOJ entry is not exactly made with wire,.. it soon became clear that learning new weaves was very fun and an eye opening and potentially useful experience. These weaves might eventually turn up in my jewelry some day.
