Christmas bells

The other evening I was watching Kirstie and Phil’s Perfect Christmas
{I have a real fondness for Kirstie and Phil *smile*}
And Kirstie was making fun and simple Christmas bells with some kids…
So for a playdate and crafternoon I knew just what we could make!
We used
~ egg carton segments
~ acrylic paint
~ glitter
{lots and lots of glitter!}
~ ribbon and bells

The kids had a lovely time painting their creations…
…with looks of concentration on their little faces *smile*
Before pouring on the glitter!!
After the bells dried they enjoyed making a hole at the top using a chop stick
We then threaded the bells on the ribbon…
and slipped the ribbon through *smile*


A happy addition to our Christmas tree!

Happy crafting,
Kelly

Working while they play

In the lead up to Christmas, I have been busily crafting
Making fairy doors, gnomes and felt animals *smile*

And as I sit and craft… nearby the children play
They seem to go deeper into their play if I am close by working

Every now and again they check in with me…
…do a little sanding or show me their creations *wink*
…before returning to their games


I sit and breathe… happily watching them… while my hands are busy
And I realise ~ I am content ♡


Happy days, Kelly
