I'm working on a custom bunting, I'll show you pictures when its sold :) Painting today with the helpers, Penny 2yr on the left is totally tactile and hers all end up balls of paper handpainted, and with all the paints mixed together. Wendy 10yr is very fussy and could reject her project at any moment.

Colouring Mandalas with the kids today, very hot here and not much sleep happening so trying to get some quiet time. Colouring detailed pictures helps they need to concentrate to keep in the lines. Next shopping trip we need to get some new textas, 2 yr olds flatten them in no time.

My daughter and I are working on this banner for her room, she tends to change her mind alot, as 10 year olds do, so this is made with paper and bits from my stash. We still need to glitter the other letters, which is proving to be difficult with 3 extra helpers, I might get the fairies to do it tonight while the helpers are sleeping :)

Anyone for tea? handmade by me felt pretend play tea bags, a huge hit for play kitchens, I drink many of these each day.

Day 2 of 365

Today I made the rest of my felt food sandwich, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and cucumber on white bread (which needs a little adjusting to get it better). My children christened them by having a picnic. Looks like I need to make some fried eggs too.

Crafting 365 Days- Day 1

Felt tomato slices for pretend play salad sandwhiches. I'm not sure I like the beaded one or the plainer one. I think the top 2 in the first photo are probably what I'll work on next time, but just cut the segments more evenly.
