Parachuting

Since we’ve just had a lot of rain, Master D got out his little umbrella and was ‘parachuting’ off the dining table. Mmmm I know, what was his mother thinking?! But he was having a great time 🙂 After a couple of jumps I thought I’d better direct the play to something else 🙂

So I got two of his hankies and made him a little parachute man. First I made the head with a bit of filling and tying it off.

 Then I tied up some arms and legs.

Before tying on the parachute.

To launch the parachute man however, Master D assured me that doing so from the top of the table was best! Sadly *ahem* I wasn’t able to get good photo evidence 😉

Warm wishes, Kelly

Flower peg people

Master D has made some flower peg people to give to Little Miss Q for Christmas.

We used some felt scraps to cut out shapes using flower and star cookie cutters for their clothes. Then I folded each shape in half and cut a little line in the middle, then folded them the other way to do the same. Master D then pushed the felt onto the pegs. I like his colour combinations 🙂

Next he said they needed some eyes, so I helped him draw them on with a permanent marker. After that he asked to put some hair on them, so for two we drew it on, for one we made hair out of wool scraps and for the last one he asked to use more felt.

He has been ‘trying them out’ since and thinks Little Miss Q will love them – and so do I!

Thanks for reading, Kelly
