A Productive Evening

This evening I headed down to Clapham for the Papermash craft evening.



It's amazing what you can achieve in the time it normally takes to:
feed kids / bath kids / put kids to bed / feed self / clear up / flop.
I left at five and was home soon after nine...



...but in between I did a bit of screen printing, decorated a jam jar, drank (a few - whoops) lovely cocktails through lovely paper straws, put some blogs to faces, wrote a love letter on a doily and made some very good purchases.



A bit of old school type writing (think my fingers might ache from the key-banging tomorrow - they got a proper work out).



I'll take a bird cushion please - perfect for a new little baby that appeared on Tuesday.



Stationery and stuff... it's a bit like being in a sweet shop, I couldn't resist... I got some Honeycomb tissue balls, parcel tape, rubber stamps (perfect for emergency birthday cards) and ink... and of course I couldn't NOT buy some washi tape....




 Drying screen prints (courtesy of Zeena).



Lots of busy people and pretty things.



We even got a little goodie bag... perfect to occupy me on the tube ride home...
I think I need more evening activities from 5pm - 9pm
