Knitted Butterfly by Velvet

Velvet knitted this today, her first arty project of 2007. Following instructions from a Knitting book I gave her for Christmas. Cute isnt it, not too good at flying though.

The Film of the Tiny box - by Velvet

Tiny mid-week project by Velvet

Velvet thought up this idea and made it all by herself. She brought it to me completed, explaining it was to keep her next milk tooth safely under her pillow till the fairies collect it.






She cut pieces of 'Binka/Binko' (I think my mum calls it?) hard rigid plastic with square holes in. She cut out little squares (about 2cm x 2cm) and stitched 5 of them together to form an box, then she sewed just on one side of the final piece to make a hinged lid. She popped a tiny piece of wadding to keep the tooth safe, then proudly gave it to me asking 'Can we put it on the Blog?'

String circle by Velvet

Velvet started this at her after-school textile club today - embroidery thread through card. She said she found it easy and proudly finished it tonight after Brownies, on her own. She just can't stop looking at it, as she said she loves it so much!

It's a Miracle!

Hi Everyone, hope you are all well. I have some really exciting news. I entered the Tim's Arts design a dragon competition, and I won! I will be unveiling Miracle the Friendly Dragon Saturday 17th July at 10.00, if any of you can make it I'd love to have my fellow bloggers there. Miracle will be watching over the children's area downstairs. If I get the picture I drew back, I'll blog it.

Lots of excited love, Izzy xx
