How to make simple stilts

At our local hardware store the other week I spotted these great chair feet….
and straight away I knew what I was going to use them for *smile*
…stilts!!

Husband of Mine drilled through the sides for me 
{the other hole was already there for its typical use}

And after giving them a good sand I wood burned circles all round…
…to fill with fun colour *smile*

To keep them good for outside play I spray painted them with outdoor wood varnish

Before threading through some rope…
And then he was off!

Simple stilts ~ simple fun!

Mini knitted farm

Knitting up this little farm over Winter has been lovely…
It is such a snuggly craft to enjoy *smile*
And knowing that a wee bub will soon be enjoying it makes me happy
Thinking up the little details… like needle felted carrots and lettuces was such fun 
And I couldn’t resist adding some ripples to the pond *smile* 
I was inspired by patterns from the Living Crafts Magazine {what a great mag!}
Now I can’t wait to start putting one together for Dino Boy and Little Miss Q!
Happy crafting, Kelly
