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

Creatures in our backyard

We love searching our backyard for creatures 🙂 Master D often goes out to play with ‘my friends the ants – they’re real you know mum’.

We like to watch worms travelling by…

Check for slaters and bugs under our stump seats…

And of course, play with the resident creature – our Wookie dog (more information about this creature here)!

Wookie also likes to sniff out the creatures in our backyard. His latest ‘friend’ was a big ugly toad – ick. We had to move this creature on since Wookie liked licking him which led to much carpet cleaning.

Master D still hopes toad and his friends might visit again… I’m happy if they don’t!

Warm wishes, Kelly
