Making a gnome home

It’s fun setting up invitations to create like this one….

Placing things carefully to look inviting
and then waiting for the kids to spot them *grin*

I’d actually toyed with the idea of keeping these little houses as a project for me
but knew the kids would love painting them!

And I must admit, watching their faces when they did spot this little set up was a gift *smile*

  They used the pretty watercolours and went to work painting their little houses
I was pleasantly surprised that Dino Boy took his time and used his brush gently

And Little Miss Q glorified in the colours
Spreading them across the wood and watching them shine

Until they were both done
and there was a little paint splattered
but they seemed happy and satisfied with their creations

Next we will have the fun of deciding where they will live
And who might live in them!

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,
