Little Bird

(This has loaded the wrong way round for some reason, even though the file is the correct way around)

Esme's tealight holder for a school project. Tis beautiful, hope we get it back again!

This is our new woodburner with 10 stockings above it! Not sure who all the stockings are for, hope Esme is not hinting at siblings! I love the grey deatail of the concrete hearth

Love the multi-abdomened (is that even a word? hmmmm *scratches head quizically) snowmen! And the buttons!

Three Little House on a Hill

5 Years. 3 weeks (and the previous 6ish weeks)

A pattern (not figurative, just pattern, this is the first time I've seen Esme do this)

A snail (clearly a happy snail!), Esme was keen to point out the detail on the slime trail!

A rocket with a really long ribbon tail. The ribbon is no longer as long as this as she has recycled most of it into new stuffs.

This is a 'laminated' (sellotaped!) bag to hold beads (which I suspect she has pinched from after school club!)

A handbag for me!

5 years. 5 months

'The people on the bus' Esme's response to an after school club theme of 'how we travel'

5 years 2 months

A card for Esme's beloved Kerri who was leaving after being in her life for nearly it's entirety. Esme had the idea to make a badge to go on the front from a jam-tart tin, she sellotaped a safety pin on the back that found in my jewellery box (not sure why it was in there?!)
