Sometimes we are happy to stay at home doing the usual homework, baking, lego building, housework etc.
Sometimes Frank goes off to see a friend who lives up the road from us.
But sometimes we get bored of this so when I read that the Renegade Craft Fair was in town at The Truman Brewery in Brick Lane - we had to go.
It was full of very high end handmade crafts which was very inspiring and a vast array of goods from jewellery, textiles, paper goods, art work to bath and body products.
There was also quite a few stalls to 'have a go' but Frank was feeling bashful and refused to make a corsage!!
But he was keen to do some needle felting that was being offered as a taster on The Make Lounge stall. I've done needle felting before and those barbed needles damn hurt - we stabbed ourselves a couple of times.
The aim was to make little woodland creatures. Frank decided on a fox and I went for a hare.
I think we did quite well! And who'd a thought two Saturdays running at The Make Lounge!
Being in Brick Lane we had to stop off for some tasty goodies for lunch on Sunday before heading back towards Liverpool Street tube via Spitalfields market.
We walked down Fournier Street which had the most beautiful houses I've seen in London, it felt like we'd stepped back in time.

I 'know' a couple who live in one of those houses!!! :o) They're amazing x
looks like a great morning, haven't had a bagel on Brick lane in way too long.
They are really special, those moments sitting side by side making something. Treasure
