We have Loralie,Watson,Wol,Private B and George the thnake, if you too fancy starting a collection have a look here . Anna is one clever lady and we love her bunnies .
Way back in January we went to Cardiff with my nieces to Cardiff museum to see a exhibition on my absolute FaVoUrItE childrens author in fact scrap that , lets just say author because I enjoy her work just as much as my children
My eldest loves Clarice Bean ,there have been occasions where I have not been able to continue reading these stories due to the fits of giggles they tend to bring on,
Little G got to dress up as an alligator,
I want one !!
The princess and the pea - how amazing is this !!The girlies played for ages .
An actual scene from the book
I aBsOlUtElY love her artwork ,and reading about how she goes about it was soooo interesting - how I
would love to have a talent like hers.
As you know I love buttons , I use them on brooches,jewelleryand my creatures, my daughters love sorting them, Little G howevere as you can see above has a complete new use for them -beds for his people !!
Two new makes
Matilda the Owl
and a new design ,
Tallulah the mousie - what do you think of her all comments welcome !! She was born out of the need to use up the long thin sleeves from the upcycled jumpers I use .
Hope you had a good weekend and a nice Valentines day . Can i just say thanks to Black Cats Whiskers
for giving me a sunshine award - it wa sa while back so I feel bad for not mentioning it , especially as it is my first - so thank you x x x LotS OF LOVE sArAH
Oh yeeeaaahhh. That is just the best exhibition. We went to see it when it was on in the art gallery in Manchester. I just loved how "hands On" it was. The kids all had a ball.
ReplyDeleteI too love the work of Clarence Bean. She is amazing.
I adore your new additions, especially mousie.
Hope you have had a fun day.
