Family Fimo Time

A few weeks ago I bought a necklace with Fimo beads at the Pop & Shop Market in Kyle Bay.  It's a lovely necklace, which I am complimented on every time I wear it, not a common occurrence for me.  While obviously I can't claim any credit for this beyond choosing it to buy, it has inspired to revisit another hobby I enjoyed in the past, Fimo.

My older son's homework was to make a solar system diorama, so I seized the opportunity for some Family Fimo Time, and here are the results.

Little Prince Costume


Last November my son wanted to dress as The Little Prince from Antoine de Saint-Exupér's novel for his school Bookweek parade.  I loved that this beautiful classic had caught his imagination over Ben 10 and Zac Powers, but obviously a pirate would have been easier.  My other son picked the Jabberwocky, but this was so ambitious I didn't feel much pressure.
