Don't Kick It! H Crawford/CrawCrafts Beasties

Paddy, Plunkett and a Blast From the Past

Hey there everybody! I’m mixing it up a bit this week, thanks to a recent round of blog updates… Which you can check out in Tuesday’s post here, if you haven’t already!

I figure since you got your behind-the-scenes news on Tuesday, it’s only fair to get you ready for your weekend with a monster mini-adventure! So let’s join Paddy and Plunkett, who have stumbled on something curious in their home…
A Curious Discovery - Paddy and Plunkett, Beastie HQPlunkett reckons that since it’s sitting on a pedestal, it’s probably art and he shouldn’t touch it. Paddy, however, has never been the type to let pedestals or velvet ropes stand between him and a good time, so…

“Um, Paddy, I really, really
Don't Kick It! H Crawford/CrawCrafts Beasties“…Don’t think you should kick it!”
Paddy Kicks the Kiwi - H Crawford/CrawCrafts Beasties“Oooooops!”

At least they’ve managed to establish that it’s a kiwi fruit. And this knowledge came in very handy later on, when they stumbled on one of my old craft projects!
This Looks Familiar... H Crawford/CrawCrafts Beasties“Hey Plunkett, this is just like the kiwi from earlier!”
“Yes, it does… But look, there’s a zip hidden in the middle!
Not Just a Kiwi - H Crawford/CrawCrafts BeastiesHahaha! They’ve found one of my old school art projects – a kiwi fruit dress!
Kiwi Fruit Style! H Crawford/CrawCrafts BeastiesI had heaps of fun making this back in the day… So much so that I made a handbag and shoe covers to match! Unfortuntely, kiwi fruit style is yet to catch on in mainstream fashion circles – but it sure makes a good Hallowe’en costume!

Oh, and Paddy decided he just HAD to try it on himself!

Looking good, Paddy!

What about you? Do you have any memorabilia from your school days, or old arts and crafts projects lurking around at home? If you find them this weekend, be sure to tell us all about them in the comments!

Aaaaand we’ll be back on Tuesday with a new Beastie to share! See you then…
