Been another crafty type of day today. Whilst I was out with the mother unit yesterday I told you that I purchased some small chopping boards. They are about 10" long and 4" wide, so cute.
The idea is that I will hand paint some and use my pyrography burning tool on others.
This morning I went and purchased some more boards and have been busy decorating a few of them this afternoon.
I am looking after Harry and Leighton today and into tonight whilst Sarah and Lee and some of their friends have headed up to Newcastle for a belated birthday celebration.
So after lunch and whilst the boys were watching mindless rubbish on Youtube I took the opportunity to make a start on my chopping boards. I can only work so long with the burning tool as it gets extremely hot and uncomfortable to manipulate. My food-safe oil also came today so, Harry set to and oiled the finished boards for me.
I will probably hand paint the next few for a change.
At 5 o'clock tonight I am treating the boys to a trip to Bella Italia for their teas. They have no idea that I have booked their favourite restaurant so that will be good. I was puzzling how I was going to get them to walk into town without giving it away, but the boys themselves solved the problem as they want to show me this new sweet shop called Andies Candies, very American I know, so I said we could go look and then we will drop into the restaurant on the way back.
