Hi all
well since last posting I have stayed at friend's for a couple of days while they went away and moved in with DP's dad for a couple of weeks. It was a good break and I did get some stuff made and finished lots of stuff.
Which brings me to hopeless! It is official we have lost the cord for the camera for the last time! We have ordered a new one so hopefully we have learnt to put it in the same place so we can find it all the time. So photos of my finished things are coming but not ready yet.
What to do with a toddler in a heat wave! Ideas I used and want to remember.
1. Playing in the bath.
2. Make jelly. (Though make sure there is enough room in the fridge for it. Will need to look up other no-cook recipes I think.)
3. Dye wool. Yay! Finally got to try dying with jelly and with food dye. Photos have to wait unfortunately.
4. Paint with water colouring book. (yep, it is a mess but it did occupy time and I have now
found a book with paint with water pictures that as they dry they fade so it can be used over and over. excellent.)
5. Hand wash clothes in a bucket - well the bucket was from the shower and we just added salt to wash the clothes which are still losing dye. Only one mistake made with these when the blue pants were put in with regular washing. DD2 now has several suits that are blue.
Does anyone have any other good ideas I should file away??
Oh alright I will now return to my challenge knitting (see previous post for explanation) which I have now frogged twice! ARGH!

Sound like you have found some interesting ways of keeping occupied! Min being a little bigger find things to do for themselves just a tiny bit more!
