Getting Makey

Which is not the same as getting makey-outy, but it is likewise fun.

 Here is a photo rundown of our makings of the last little while, because along with creating horrendous messes, this is how we pass a great deal of our time round these parts.

Making valentines (and shrinky dinks) for our beloveds:

 

An impromptu performance of "Jack and the Beanstalk."

Leprechaun traps by Malan and Jane (Malan used traditional "fools gold" to lure one in, while Jane opted for a sensitive approach by utilizing reverse psychology and providing food,
a soft bed, and a tiny fuzzy friend to keep the short green fellow company.)

  We found this little beaut at an antique shop and made it over with a chalk board stove top for the Hale cousins for Christmas, along with some diminutive kitchen linens:

Olivia helped man the mod podge on these olliblocks. . .

. . .and Malan finished the doll she's been working on just in time for Maryanne's birthday. (Jane's doll pillow was a sweet touch, not pictured here.)

 Nothing like a project or two to see you through the winter doldrums.

Any fun makings going on at your place?
