Heart Felt

You can have a sneak peak on my Facebook page here.

Shadow theatre

Inspired from this website, Sadie made her own shadow theatre from a box and a pillowcase. 

She used shadow puppets purchased from Felt last Christmas, but is keen to make some of her own.

 

Sadie decorating her frame

 

Some reinforcement for the sides.

 

The parchment paper we had wasn't wide enough,

so I sacrificed a white pillowcase which worked brilliantly and will be more durable.

 

The first show

 

We watched performances all morning involving a princess, a castle and dinosaurs.

Heart Felt for spring

I've been working on a couple of new things for my Felt shop for the spring. 

The children and the way they play are my constant inspiration. 

I know if they love and enjoy them, other children will like them too.

All available from my Felt shop here.

 

Woodland animal ears

Made from felt with vintage fabric detailing attached to a sturdy headband. $15 each

You can browse my album on Facebook for more photographs here.

 

Vintage fabric play crowns

Backed onto soft felt and with an elasticated backing. $15 each

and there's a separate album here with more photographs too.

Also expect plenty of bonnets to come too.

Meet Owlie

Owlie is Oscar's new best friend made by Cuttapea.

Oscar asked me to make him an owl mask so that they could be owls together.

What a hoot!

Sadie's new headband

 

This gorgeous headband hasn't left Sadie's head since receiving it. 

It's made by Kristin of Hello Fallow.

We are enjoying autumn in New Zealand, but you could be mistake it for spring seeing Sadie in her beautiful floral headband.

Drawing with Sadie

 

We have the most wonderful art shop in Greytown ~ The Village Art Shop. I bought Sadie art supplies for Xmas and the next day I found out I had won their Facebook competition.

I haven't had nice art supplies for a very long time, so it's been lovely to be able to draw together.

She can teach me some things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Raspberries taste good in rain or shine

 

The weather has been unusual, sunshine one day, rain the next, windy, then another rainy day and then we go back to sunshine.   You get to a point where you just have to follow through with your plans either way.  

 

This day we had planned to go berry picking....It started to drizzle, but it was warm and the berries tasted good.

 

Mr palmer was pleased to see us and had to make sure the kids were eating plenty while picking by getting them to poke their tongues out.  They thought this was great. 

 

Oscar was at a birthday party and was a bit put out when he saw that the older kids had been berry picking without him, so went again the next day.  Only this time we picked berries in the sunshine and it got very hot.  

Sadie decided to sketch and leave the hard work to the boys.

 

Rain or shine ~ either way this little one thought they were pretty good.
