Well&#8230;when I say we I have to admit that it was mostly Master with \u00a0a lot of help from Uncle Bear (his brother Brendan) and a little from our neighbour Phil. Meanwhile I have been sewing a flag and some bunting to decorate the fort bit with. Oh yes, the climbing frame consists of a fort with pink (!) slide, bench and table and sand pit, monkey bars and two swings and a trapeze. Luckily we have a nice big garden with enough space for such a big contraption. I can tell you it has already been used a lot. The newest trick is to hang face down off the trapeze. I cannot wait for Master to see this. He will freak!<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday we had 11 children over for a little party. That was when the bunting was supposed to be going up. It didn&#8217;t&#8230; as I haven&#8217;t quite finished it. I loved making it, though, and can see quite a bit of bunting making in my future. It&#8217;s a great way of using up bigger scraps as well. Having the climbing frame in the garden meant that all the mums could sit down and have a cup of tea while the children were using up a lot of energy. Bliss!<\/p>\n<p>By the way, the other side of the flag has Little Miss Bossy-Boots&#8217; name appliqu\u00e9d on it and she loves it. The name &#8220;Fort Belle&#8221; was chosen by Master and my mother embroidered most of the flowers on the flag (mine are the really wonky ones &#8211; it wasn&#8217;t a good day for embroidery for me).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t forgotten about my blog but somehow life has gotten in the way of sitting down and writing about it.
