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

 

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
