Friday Favourites and a FO

A perfect sunny late-winters day. Sky so blue you could reach right out and touch it.

Dancing angels to watch over the wee one as he sleeps.

Finished Object Friday

Finished the little gnome celebration circle. Here they are dancing away:

10 little gnomes stand up straight

10 little gnomes make a gate

10 little gnomes make a ring

10 little gnomes bow to the king

10 little gnomes dance all day

10 little gnomes hide away

WIP Wednesday

The wee one took an early nap so I got in a little bit of morning crafting. Taking a break from the red socks (one down!!) and working on one of these gorgeous little rainbow gnome celebration circles.

Brother Love

From the big one, to the little one, on his first birthday.

The song is one big brother made up and has sung to his little brother (with actions) since he was a teeny baby. Eight is such a precious age, I wish I could bottle him now and keep him 8 forever!

Felt pens on canvas.

Easter Cards - Done!

Finished up this year's Easter cards, and posted them out already! I am not usually this efficient.

Went for post-card style this year, cut out coloured egg, glitter glue stripes, texta drawn bunny, little cutouts for its paws. Easy as can be. All up I spent about $3 on materials and made 10 cards. You couldn't even get one store bought Easter card for $3 I don't think.

I make Easter cards each year and it seems people really appreciate getting something cheery in the mail at this time of year, as it's still not that common to send Easter cards here.

I do find it hard to get into the spirit of celebrating Easter given that it's essentially a spring celebration and we are heading in to autumn. So we do a little of the expected Easter celebrating but at the same time prepare for Samhain, the pagan celebration of summers end. It does get a little confusing!! It would be nice to live somewhere where the seasons and celebrations are in sync.

Take care
