The kids and I painted some dollhouse furniture for the girls' dollhouse recently. Our neighbors gave us the kit for the dollhouse and my parents put it together and fixed it up really nice! The furniture came from a kit at Michael's for $5- just needed assembly with some glue and paint! I ordered a few little cheap Playmobil dolls since we don't have any dolls small enough to fit the furniture! :)
Since I wouldn't let the twins paint the furniture, here are their painting creations...
This little sneak got a hold of the scissors and cut several holes in her brand new shirt. My "turning lemons into lemonade" was cutting out flower pieces out of fabric scraps and zig-zag stitching them on the shirt, over the holes. Better a shirt than her hair! Been there and done that with their big sis!
I finally (mostly) finished A's dress for a wedding she's flower-girling for next month- just needs the sash now! (And please don't look too closely if you go to the wedding...!) The main thing I've learned with my sewing attempts over the years is that invariably the bobbin thread WILL run out 3-6 inches before you want it to- so you might as well just expect it and not get all crabby about it. :)
The kids made "kites" today (pieces of paper with yarn taped to it)
Elijah made this "beauty", as he calls it, using Peter's new drawing program.
Happy days. What Spring projects are you working on?

That is a "beauty!" Good job, Elijah.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the picture with the kite on the ground and the twins wondering why it's not flying... :)
