Auntie Laura Doesn't

Bobby knows all the names of all of the Thomas engines. Auntie Laura put in a lot of effort to learn some and well, failed. In my defence there are SO many!

You can watch the process of the layout coming together here:

By the way, since these photos were taken I have attempted to learn dinosaur names and failed. And attempted to learn the racing cars names and failed. I knew there would come a point when Bob would outsmart me, I know he's a bright kid, I just didn't expect it to happen quite so soon!!

If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is Easter bunting! I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart. Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them. I embellished each flag with some beads... I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.
