Art on the walls


 Slowly but surely… our home is starting to feel more and more like our own
For many years many of our walls have been bare…
…just waiting for the right piece of artwork to adorn them
 
 
And although Dino Boy’s walls had many of his painting and pictures displayed
it still wasn’t quite right {and perhaps, yes Husband of Mine ~ it was a bit busy}
So using some good quality art supplies
the boy got to painting…
Lots of monsters he tells me *smile*

Even a grumpy one… and a sad one
as well as two happy ones…
And now his Monster notes are displayed on his walls *smile*

Happy painting,

Kelly

Little lambs

Since Christmas I have been on the crafting go-slow…
But of an evening, I am again feeling the itch to craft *smile*
I have really come to love hand sewing, I love that I can create in a short time…
…little animals that my kids will run off happily with the next day!
{they are small *wink*}
For these lovely little lambs I used the pattern in The Nature Corner
{it comes with three options for the lamb’s head position}
And now that I am coming to understand the construction side of things…
I’ve even come up with some patterns of my own
{more on that another day though!}

Oh and I have to share how much I adore rainbow thread…
It is just so jolly and smile inducing!
A big thank you to Aleta from Hinterland Mama for the gift of some *big happy smile*

Happy crafting
Kelly
