Gnome family

We haven’t been crafting as much lately… 
lots of time playing outside instead
{who can resist Spring play in the garden!}
But when Dino Boy spotted a recently delivered parcel… {from Clickity Clack}
 containing little peg dolls and mushrooms he couldn’t wait!
So we worked together to prepare some watercolour paints
Dino Boy choosing which colours he’d like…
to bring them to life *smile*

Once they had dried we chatted about whether they needed hats, clothes, or wings

The mama, boy and baby girl needed wings, he told me
While the dada needed to look ballet

Since their creation this little gnomie family has enjoyed lots of play *smile*

Happy crafting,
Kelly

Painting stump seats

One of our favourite spots in the garden is our toadstool nook…
Many a picnic and afternoon tea have been enjoyed here *smile*
Recently I noticed how faded and chipped our stump seats were looking…
…never mind the toadstool table and stools!

So out came some brightly coloured paint…
and paint brush *smile*
Painting the stumps didn’t take long
Although I had to keep inquisitive little hands away
{not always successfully!}

It’s amazing what a quick lick of paint can do!
Don’t they look fun and inviting *smile*

And just right in amongst the beautiful Spring garden
{this is a photo from last year… can’t wait for the plants to bloom soon!}

Do you have special nooks in your garden?

Happy days,
Kelly
