A fairy village & a giveaway

I’ve gone wood burning crazy! In a good way (at least I think so!). And now I seem to have a whole village, complete with unfinished residents.

As soon as I had them all cut out Master D started playing with them and telling me who lived at which house 🙂 but finally I have most of the doors sanded, painted and finished (for ‘how’ see here).

Some of the doors and gnomes have homes to go to at Christmas, and we will be keeping some favourites for play.

I’ve swapped one with the lovely Marie from Softearth’s World. And super exciting I have sold four!! A big thank you to the lovely people who bought them 🙂

Swapped
Sold!

 But I think its time to let another two leave the nest 🙂

So, if you’d like part of my fairy village to come your way please leave me a comment. For an additional entry follow me 🙂 I’ll post the winner on Christmas Eve.

Warm wishes, Kelly

Resist painting

Last week we had lots of rain and storms. We had great big hail stones pound down – Master D and his daddy ran outside to collect them 🙂 Then during the night we had some fantastic lightning so husband and I opened up the curtains during the storm and watched the show.

So because of the rain we were busy doing arts and crafts inside. My favourite of the week was resist painting.

We used proper box canvases and good acrylic paint. For one I put a masking tape ‘D’ on the canvas and for the other Master D put tape randomly about. Then he got painting. Little Miss Q loved watching 🙂

This is before taking the tape off:

And the end result! I love how the ‘D’ turned out!!

Warm wishes, Kelly
