Small world play

 

These days, Dino Boy is generally self directed in his craft and play
He will ask for some materials and then immerse himself in creating
Sometimes though, I still want to join in and craft alongside him *smile*
And what I make… like a lemon tree… can spur his imagination
Until there is a whole orchard of beautiful trees heavy with fruit
And bees busily buzzing by
Often he uses his creations to tell stories
Mostly to himself… and I hear bits and pieces as I work nearby

 

Happy days,
Kelly

Ladybug birthday cake

 

We have recently celebrated Little Miss Q’s 2nd birthday!
She couldn’t decide which cake she liked…
…so her dad and I helped by choosing a ladybug *grin*
We used our beautiful birthday ring for the first time…
With handmade beeswax birthday candles
Together with a bee {from here} and peg doll {from here} to decorate the ring
The anticipation was lovely to watch…
And soon enough the cake was cut and enjoyed

 

Husband of Mine made a tasty and pretty ladybug cake *grin*

 

Happy days,
Kelly
