Star garland for the birds

We have been wanting to make a bird feeder for a while now…
And then we saw a lovely and simple way to do it on Homemade Happy!
{Homemade Happy is a lovely blog with wonderfully inspiring treasures to make with or for your kids!}
Dino Boy loved spreading peanut butter on our bread stars
{and quite a bit went in the mouth too!}
For great instructions on making simple and lovely bird feeders pop over to Homemade Happy *smile*
{and yes, that is some ‘art work’ on the wall behind Dino Boy…mmmm}

Who needs a spoon!? 
Dino Boy wanted to sample the bird seed too… 
But because I wasn’t sure about all the seeds we gave it a miss…

Waiting for the birds to visit *smile*
Happy crafting, Kelly

A Spiral Jacket and our Winter garden

 Finishing a project can be wonderful can’t it!
{well if it has turned out as hoped…}
And I have to admit that I am rather thrilled with Little Miss Q’s spiral jacket!!  
{just don’t look too closely and maybe you can ignore some mistakes!}
I had planned to find a large button, maybe like for a duffel coat, to fasten the jacket…

Then I remembered a pretty butterfly brooch and gave it a go *smile*
And ohhh when I did, I just felt it completed the jacket
{and luckily it has a safety device at the back and is sturdy}
The jacket is so warm and snuggly… perfect for our Winter days…
Days spent exploring our Winter garden *smile*

 

The pattern is called ‘Spiral Jacket’ and is from Lincraft.
I haven’t had any luck finding it online…
And I’m waiting for an email from Lincraft so I can share more details with you {hopefully}

~ Update from Lincraft ~ 
 The baby spiral jacket pattern has sold out online…
however they have just released an adult version
