I am not the craftiest of people. I love to write and take photos, but anything involving more skill or dexterity than that is usually beyond me. At school, I once managed to stitch the fabric pencil case that I was making to my own tights…
But DorkyDad set me a challenge, and I couldn’t resist. He bought me a bottle of champagne for Mother’s Day. After we had quaffed it, and I was tidying up the kitchen, he mentioned seeing something online once about making a chair out of a champagne cork.
“What?” I said, sounding a bit dubious.
“Really.” he said. “You should Google it. It was very cool.”
So Google it I did. And I found a step-by-step guide on how to make a chair out of a champagne cork. Some people in the world obviously have way too much time on their hands. And evidently I am one of them, because here is my little champagne cork chair.
I am immensely proud of it.
I am also a bit embarrassed by how much fun I then had sitting a Lego man on it. Although he does look like he needs a little glass of something to complete the scene.
And then, y’know, having gone that far I decided I might as well go the whole hog, and use the Lego man to demonstrate a range of naughty toddler poses. So here you go.
Here is the “I’m a big boy now and I can stand on my chair if I want to” pose.
Here is the “Mummy’s on the phone, what can I do to get her attention” pose.
Here is the “She’s still not paying attention to me, what can I do that’s even more dangerous?” pose.
Here is the “I can’t believe it’s cheesy pasta for dinner AGAIN” pose.
And here is the “Mummy, please stop messing around taking photos and give me my Lego man back” pose.
Crafts, eh.
I gave it a good shot, but I still don’t think it’s for me.

What a brilliant post! Cheesey pasta is often on our menu too, or pesto!
Haha great post and photos!
fricking excllent, you are very talented, maybe this could be a new career for you
That’s fab – love love love it! As another non crafter it looks like something that even I might manage to achieve! * Now need excuse to drink some champers- do you think 99p sparkling perry from Lidl would do?!*
LOVE IT!!! YAY!! Hope to see many more craft posts form now on 🙂 not that I am bias of course!

I could not work out how a champagne cork could turn into a chair, but now i’ve seen the evidence, that is most impressive!
Pretty cool, my friend! Pretty cool.
I love this! I am inspired to take a ‘craft project’ of my own, particularly if it requires the drinking of a bottle of champagne.
Very funny Dorky! And very impressed with your craft ‘skills’, who’d have thought it, eh?!
Very funny and crafty! Well done on your BiBs nomination too 🙂

lol, love it
Just been having a nosey ’round your blog. I love the poses. I fear that The Duchess, at only 10 months, has already attempted some of these poses. Should I be worried?
Thank you for all your crafty love. I am not worthy 😉 xx
