Book Week

After the Planetarium last week (most excellent success, vomiting aside (nothing to do with us, guv)) we had the good luck to be offered some material and sewing machine time round at little Liam's house.

Why? I hear you ask.

Well it was Book Week and as part of that, no doubt to celebrate everything literary, the kids were to go to school dressed as their favourite book character.

Eloise has selected Lettice, the little rabbit who gets to be flower girl at her dance teacher's wedding. You can see how that might push her buttons.

So for this project rabbit ears were required.

And that is the Why. Material and sewing machine time for to make Rabbit Ears.

Eloise got to learn how to cut material and work a sewing machine which was obviously very entertaining for her.

It all went a little wrong when we pitched up at school though; I think she was a bit taken aback by all the fancy dress and by the perplexed looks she got when she said she was Lettice, the little rabbit who gets to be flower girl at her dance teacher's wedding; of course no-one knew who that was, it not being a popular book, so Lettice was immediately dropped and I was sent home with the basket while she concocted a fallback story.
