Lily and I have been working on getting our letters together for Christie’s Kid’s Mail Swap. She’s making beautiful butterflies to mail off on Monday. How good is that kid’s sense of symmetry? I promise, I did not micro-manage that! Other creative things I have been doing this week? Not much… The heating is back on so I am thawing out and beginning to feel like getting up and writing again. Every day in May has been a bit quiet these last few – I wrote myself bored on Tuesday and haven’t got back to it since. I still need to break out the sticky notes and work on the structure. Maybe I’ll have a burl this afternoon while Lil sleeps – although now I’ve said that, of course there’s no chance of her napping at all.
More My Creative Spaces here – thanks to Kirsty! I’m late again as usual.
Lil is so good. I love those butterflies.
Those butterflies are just beautiful! Amazing work by one as young as Lily. My nearly-4 year old couldn’t settle long enough to make those.
What a great design for butterflies. I think I might try these sometime.
What a great colourful and fun space. I love that wooden box too. I have a thing for wooden boxes! : )
Beautifully busy place you have there! I ditto woolywotnots about the wooden tea box – we used to have Dalgety’s tea boxes when I was little and they were lovely! Beautiful butterflies, will have to try them with my little girl who loves flutterbyes!
I love your topsy-turvy disarray! It looks as if creativity is on the loose in there! I love your blog, too. I have only just recently discovered blogs. I make paper & fabric art, but I also write children’s picture book stories, and I like to write adult short stories, too, so I was very happy to find you talking about your writing as well as your arts & crafts. I hope to start my own blog – soon! You inspire me to share some of the ups and downs of writing in among my cut-paper creations. Thank you for a such a lovely blog! from Kari (rhymes with starry) in Texas
P.S. Lily’s butterflies are magical.
I love butterflies. It is wonderful that your daughter is crafting with you. My children are creative but not always interest in crafting with me especially as they are now older.
