Oink, oink

My kids make the most hilarious noise for a pig…
a huge nasal snort, upper lips pulled back and laughing eyes

Not like my ‘delicate’ sounding ‘oink oink’

So this is one of those occasions when I can happily say…
 …my Mother-in-law taught them that

{and I try not to be too hurt that the kids prefer her way *wink*}

These little piggies are part of the knitted farm the kids got for Christmas…
…and which I know I still need to share more about!
The needle felted pig I made using the instructions from Wool Pets by Laurie Sharp
And the felt pig from this pinned pattern

Happy crafting,

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
