DIY mark II - it seems everyone is doing it

It seems there was a rush of DIY posts on my facebook feed yesterday, or was it just a case of 'yellow car syndrome'? I don't know, either way though there are some very crafty mums out there.

I just love Latte Mum's awesome 'stained glass window', I only wish I had a window low enough to do this as well.

By the way, her reasoning behind doing this was heart warming:

"He has made me see the world differently, so I figured it was time to repay the favour"

Aww, how beautiful is that? :)

Then there were these great fairy wings made by Hatchings Cloth Nappies and this clever game made by Oz Baby Trends - there are two sides, here is the other one.

The Oz Baby Trends one is one my to do list for sure!

Not to be out done, this is our latest creation - Stepping stones made simply from flour, salt and water - made into a dough. We then put Matilda's foot or hand in, took an 'impression' and baked for about three hours on a low oven.

I wouldn't say I am entirely happy with the results as yet - the instructions from the fantastic blog The Imagination Tree (discovered through Pinterest of course) said to put on greaseproof paper but I think the one I used has been pre-greased as so they are a little soft and oily on the bottom.

Next time I will use the baking paper that isn't pre-greased and see if that makes a difference.

I also plan to paint at least the hand one and see how that comes out. Will post photos once we are done :)
