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!

Happy crafting, Kelly

Barns for some farms…

I’ve been making little barns for a Bits of Goodness swap…
They were such fun to design …with each one having its own character {or so I like to think!}
Happily we have invested in some new wood working tools… 
…jigsaw blades for cutting on the curve
…and a new belt & disc sander 
 ~ which leads to big smiles all round ~
{okay… mostly me!}

And a sneak peek at a mini knitted farm…
Made with love for my friend’s new baby son 

Warmly, Kelly
