A Day at the Farm

Our city parks has a educational farm for schools and families to visit 

throughout the year. We decided the toddlers needed a field trip on 

this beautiful fall day.

Watching the piggies.

Scary-Warey Toddler Ghosts

Did a little halloween craft with the grand babies today and this is how it went.

Supplies:

Black stretched artist canvas.

Brushes, white, black and yellow paint, hot glue and

Ribbon for the canvas edge.

The Tools:

Toddler feet

If you can catch them!!!!!

The Process:

Grab a little foot, push it into a thin layer of white paint spread on a 

paper plate and press it onto the canvas.

After scrubbing those little feet and laying them down for a nap, paint 

a moon and glue ribbon around the edge of the canvas.

Making Punkin's with my Punkin

Daughter Katy and I spent the afternoon crafting tissue,paper mâché pumpkins. Our directions came from a Martha Stewart crafting blog, since I didn't have a subscription to her magazine, not all of the steps were included. So the pumpkins turned out a little weird. Now we have to wait until they are dry before we cut them.

Decorating for Halloween

It's starting to look pretty spooky around the house. 

Spooky Halloween!

Sorry it took me so long to post again, sometimes things just get in the way. I'll try to keep up best I can. Here is some of my halloween decor. The crown is made of paper cloth and the witch, well she just happens to show up every halloween.

Trees

I worked on this mix media painting a few days. I was inspired by joni Mitchell's song Big Yellow

Taxi. The leaves are real leaf prints on recycled paper. Have a great weekend!

Tiny Quilts

I Finished my little quilts, I think I got the imperfections just right. Gee's Bend quilts are a little crooked, puckered and very artistic. If you ever get the chance to see their exhibit, do it.
