Monster alert!! Beware small monster on the prowl!
Good morning all.
A wet, drizzly day here but it will brighten later when our little "monster" comes to play.
Now, here is where I wish I had taken a before and after pic.
Maxine and Ben came yesterday and asked if I could make a monster costume for Ben to wear to two little parties he is going to.
Of course I can make monster costumes - I just need the right fabric!
Believe it or not - one of Maxine's cast off stretchy dresses was lurking in my "useful fabric bits" box ( I have loads of those boxes!!)
With a little bit of creative advice from my design team (Max) and a little bit of Nanny magic we came up with a brilliant little monster suit....
I will take a picture of Ben wearing it later and maybe post for my Friday smile this week.
Below are the finished table mats that I was making last week - cute aren't they.
I hope you are all well and not too bothered by the drop of rain we are having today.
The mud on the building site is horrible but each day brings us nearer to the rest of the houses being completed, so I must be patient - er and wear my wellies!!!
Have a great week.
Thanks for calling by.
x Jo

Will be popping back Friday to see the monster costume .
The Christmas place mats are so cool & having the names on them is a clever idea . Happy woyww Jill #15
You can make anything, Twiglet!! And it looks brilliant too. You have such skill in transferring an idea into reality - I'm not always successful at that! Those mats are fun too, clever you :-)
And I bet the builders aren't half as entertaining now they're covered up....
;-)
Hugs, LLJ 14 xxxx
Hi Jo... you sure are a resourceful Nanny - just like that whipping up a costume for Ben. The place mats look amazing - a fabulous idea. Enjoy your week Cheers RobynO#35
Can't wait to see your monster - great stuff you've got on the go there. Wish I had some little monsters to create for.

You are such a tease! I want to see that costume! But you're right, you don't want to ruin the surprise. I look forward to seeing it next week, modelled by your little gs! Lovely table mats! It will be a shame to use them for that purpose! Have a lovely week! zsuzsa @ InkyDinkyDoodle #34

Keep wearing your wellies - we are in the rainy season (do we have one or is it a year long thing?). Love the monster costume - must try to remember to call in tomorrow to see Ben wearing it.
