It has finally been done! our mosaic mirror for the bathroom. On one very gloomy day when the kids and the hubby was off and we were all really fed up, i remembered about the mirror i had been keeping and the tiles and rest of the things we needed, that i had brought months ago and never started. So we got it all out and got cracking.
I bought the tiles from e-bay and i imagined them to be a lot bigger than they were, as usual i had not read the listing details and just looked at the picture, which is something i have a habit of doing so its not the first time i have been disappointed by a purchase. But they looked colorful so we gave it a go.
We did a side each, and i have to say they both did really well
We all managed to keep them spaced out the same, and it only took about an hour to finish. Thats because like me the kids love crafting or "makey makey" as we call it. There was quiet concentration going on (with tongue sticking out from Ewan which is what he does when he is concentrating).
It was quite sad when we had finished, but after letting it dry they left it to dad to grout and hang in the bathroom.
When they came home from school the next day they were really excited to see that it had pride of place in our newly painted bathroom. We also decided to put the crochet t-shirt rug in there as well. Its still a bit bare so we will have to think of other things to make for in there but for now the kids love that they have helped.
After all that work they still wanted to make something so i opted for them to make tea!
So we made the bases and i let them loose in the fridge to top there pizza with whatever they wanted.
Add some curly fries and a homemade pineapple upside down cake!
I love making homemade takeaways it a lot of fun for a rainy day and a lot cheaper than the real thing, also a lot nicer. This is a McDonalds i made last year.
Hungry now so off for tea
bye for now x
