Text of the page (random words):
ds and knees with a drill and a toddler and a baby in a buggy and you just need to see them to realise exactly what i did because it s really simple i wasn t going to be getting the proper plastic loom thing that is sold to make these with because i d have to get two because there are two older kids for a start but also they just look like they are over engineered for the job the kids had been making the more simple bracelets just using their fingers to loop the bands over but it becomes tricky to put things down mid bracelet when you re doing that and you can t do the more complicated ones with fingers anyway we made three different looms each by just drilling a hole into a bit of wood and then banging a few little nails into the appropriate places sanded the wood a little to smooth off the drilled hole and edges but really it was that simple by using two nails fairly close together as the loop point it s really easy to get the little hook in to pull the bands over the easiest loom was the one with two loop points the next was one with three loop points then we skipped right ahead and made one that had six loop points even little del was intent on having a go she s got a lot of focus for a kid that s just turned three last week but i guess when you can see your two older sisters doing something you really want to do it too i put together a bunch of photos to show how the three loop point bracelet starts builds and ties off if you click on the image below it should open up the full size image for you to see it better the black bands that you see making the start are eventually snipped with scissors and pulled out and thrown away hope that was of some use to someone out there my kids are having so much fun with this stuff it s lovely that they want to make them for friends and it s great that they are small and light so cheap to send to friends overseas too it s very much like those dolly bobbin french knitting thingies we used to have as kids but just so much easier and more fun with elastic bands 5 comments labels at the kitchen table feb 10 2014 bathtub ice cube curling it s the new craze you heard it here first well maybe not but it is kinda fun and silly we invented this slightly daft take on the olympic sport of curling last week the weather here has been atrocious and rainy day ideas were needed the winter olympics in sochi are now in full swing and if letting the kids play laundry basket luge on the stairs is a little too terrifying pop on over to the post i ve got up on alphamom com showing how we made our ice cube curling stones and what the basic rules and scoring is for a game i have a bit of a secret fondness for the sport of curling because up until the early 1990s there was a little workshop near where we lived in wales that made curling stones from welsh blue granite they would mill out cylinders of rock from this rough cubes and then sell the left over rough cubes with cylindrical holes in them as planters for gardens and there are still quite a few around the place in people s front yards i thought that was super cool when i was a kid i guess i was pretty into creative reuse from an early age as with most of the things we get up to you don t need much to do this just a muffin tray some paper clips and some crayons full post can be found here thank you too for the get well wishes i am actually doing a lot better a lot faster than we thought was going to be the case i m just very impatient and want to be back to normal which is likely to take another three to six months so they say i ll be able to walk up in the pretty welsh hills pain free by the summer time hopefully 4 comments feb 9 2014 golden snitch valentine s favor printable another valentine printable for you this one lets your harry potter fans make a 3d golden snitch card four to a page for their bffs the free printable is available for download over at alphamom com the snitch itself is made from wrapping a lollipop in gold wrapping paper i didn t think about it until yesterday but if you want to make non candy valentines then you could easily wrap those little bouncy balls that are sold as party favours and hold the twisted end in place with tape once it s poked through the card those things are about as hard to catch as a snitch anyway i know i ve been posting more printables than crafts lately but that has been because i m still recovering from a difficult pregnancy and birth i do have an actual craft game being posted some time today or tomorrow so i ll give you a link to it when that happens good news is that in about five weeks i should be discharged from my physio appointments and able to handle the rest of my recovery myself i gave my crutches back to the hospital just after christmas and things are getting easier every day we even had a moment of relative calm in the house yesterday everyone was chillin and doing their thing i was starting to wonder if that was ever going to be possible happy new year by the way chinese and gregorian i think i forgot to say that but then there s been a lot going on 2 comments labels at the kitchen table gifts printables feb 3 2014 ultimate souper star valentine helloooo valentine s day is fast approaching again where does the time go i just made an easy peasy lemon squeazy printable valentine for classmates and it s punny i love cheesy puns this is a soupy pun though you will need to get a bunch of mini necco wafer rolls to wrap up inside these valentines easier to come by them in the us than here in the uk but i went for these because the tradition of classroom valentines isn t really done here in the uk but is very popular back in the states because the necco wafer rolls are only about three centimeters tall these are teensy little soup cans if you want to make a few then pop over to the post here on alphamom com and download the free printable there here are a load more valentines themed bits and bobs from filth wizardry s past to save you searching through my badly organized archives hershey s kiss lighthouse printable plastic bag iron on valentine s patches giant lolly pop valentine s card candy friendship knot printable and instructions cardboard valentine s crowns toilet roll tube valentine s necklaces crepe paper rose tutorial with video paper plate hats heart ones but many others too kitchen paper and baby wipe kanzashi flowers awesome baby is still awesome and is going to be three whole months old tomorrow like i was saying where does the time go the littlest big sister is absolutely besotted with him in other news a year and a half after our move from the us to the uk we finally unpacked the slot together panel one twelfth scale doll house that we made of our old american home we waited all this time so that the kids were settled and happy and it wasn t going to make them sad to see it and miss the old place too much they were very excited to see it again and as delyth was so young when we first made it it s totally new to her and she loves it hooray i should show you what the kids had made to use as a doll house during the time that this one was packed away because it s pretty epic they took custody of a bunch of the boxes we used to move and constructed a massive upright doll house against their bedroom wall i helped them get the structure they wanted and we hot glued and taped it all together they kept adding to it throughout the year that we were living at that house until it was really quite elaborate and well decorated i don t have a photo of it in all it s completed glory sadly and when it came time to move house again last august we had to pull it apart as it wouldn t fit through the door but they enjoyed it while it lasted the last photos i got of it were about six months before we moved and they had done a lot more on it by the time we took it apart but you get the idea the old poster tube was an elevator that stopped at the different floors one side was meant to be a polly pocket condo and the other side was a transformers base the pollys got on reasonably well with the autobots not so well with the decepticons though starscream kept using the roof to launch himself from 8 comments labels at the kitchen table gifts printables dec 20 2013 3d printable christmas tree card hello i have a christmas printable i made for you i made a baby too but i ll

fun you can find the printable over at alpha mom here i ve been a bit slow with the blog the last couple of months because i ve been feeling rough as a badger s bum this is because i am manufacturing another family member so come the beginning of november there will be four little filth wizards we re currently all crammed into two bedrooms so there s a house move on the horizon too hopefully in the next month and that way we can have the seven and eight year old sharing a room and del who is two on saturday and the new bairn sharing when the baby is big enough i m feeling less exhausted and nauseous now that i m nearly half way through this pregnancy so hopefully i can get some more projects up on the blog soon the kids have made a massive cardboard thing that i really want to share with you also school holidays start here in a few weeks so we re looking forward to lots of extra time for making messy things especially now that it s staying light outside until 10 30pm the house we re hopefully moving to has quite a dilapidated garden so i figure letting the kids make another junk town this summer is on the cards in the mean time have a lovely father s day weekend i think we re taking the family to the roller disco on sunday night i will resist the urge to crowbar my pregnant self into some gold spandex kylie minogue hot pants for the event maybe paul can wear them over his

last weekend and the kids were very happy to have their pictures taken with a storm trooper and an x wing pilot they took great delight in telling the x wing pilot about the helmets they made a couple

any of you fancy trying them i m sure we ll be doing some new things over the easter break but you know what i m like we don t do crafts well in advance to blog about them at the right time we do the crafts and then i blog about them with the excuse that you might want to do them next year ha so this is what i found in the depths of the badly organized filth wizardry archives of yore easter egg
