We Apologise for the Break in Transmission

This is a quick update for you regarding the August edition of the Kraft for Kidz blog carnival, which was supposed to be published today.

Unfortunately, I’m quite unwell at the moment and the carnival will have to wait until next weekend.

After a Saturday filled with moving furniture, sorting boxes and generally being householdy, I find I’ve really overdone it.

I’m exhausted.

I’ve actually been in bed, sleeping, for most yesterday afternoon and today.
Which is why there was nothing posted yesterday, and just this short message today.

Please bear with me, as I won’t be around much this week while I recover.

It doesn’t seem to matter that I’ve had two decades of CFS in which to learn to pace myself, I still get carried away and end up wiped out!

Hopefully, I will be up to some writing later in the week.
I may have to get WonderHubby to bring me the laptop in bed, in order to prevent blogging withdrawal.

If you’re new here, I hope you’ll take the time to look at some past craft projects & recipes, dig into the dark, musty archives and visit some of the fantabulous sites on my blogroll, which are well worth a squizz.

In the meanwhile, if anyone has any labour~saving tips to help me out as I slowly recover my energy, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments or by email.

Kraft for Kidz Blog Carnival 2

Welcome to the July Kraft for Kidz blog carnival. This month, we have some wonderful craft how~to’s.

First up is Susan at The Lil Mom That Could, bringing us Turtle Craft.
“The kids had a blast making these little turtles, super easy with an extra suggestion for older kids.”

Melanie from Our Crafts -N- Things makes a Picture Frame.
“I made this really cute picture frame with my daughter for a father’s day present. But, it can actually be used as an adorable gift for anything.”

Yi Hui Chang at The Simple Wealth shares how to face paint your kid with make up.

Ooey, Gooey, Messy, Summer Art Camp comes from Shez at Homeschooled Kids.
“It was incredibly good for my soul to do an activity with my children and their friends that was full of sheer, unbridled fun. No one was expected to learn a thing, this was just about feeling the paint and clay between your fingers, smooshing it all about and creating with all the exuberance we could muster. This is what summer should be all about.”

Terry from Gogo Glue Gun Fun sent in a video how~to on how to make a Silly Rattlesnake. This item is fun for kids from 3 to whatever.

Thank you to everyone who got involved this month, particularly Melanie, who is a second~time participant.

And hi to everyone who’s dropped me a note in the last week. I’ve been a bit under the weather, but I promise I’ll get back to you all as soon as I get on top of this latest bug.
There’s always something, isn’t there?

Thanks also to those who have sent me ‘get well soon’ notes. You know who you are, especially Carrie.
