Unicorns, Rainbows and Faeries

We had a year of home made gifts and parties this birthday season. I have two winter babes, born with a two week gap between birthdays. It made for an interesting time, especially since Big Owlet fell in love with Little Owlet's waldorf baby and asked me to make one for her!!



Party games included a faerie treasure hunt for magical stones left by the faeries after the night's rainfall...



Fuzzy felt pin the horn on the unicorn game...



Felt unicorn horns... worn more like dunces hats, but you get the idea!



I wonder what next years theme will be? The birthday girl said she'd like to do it all again, exactly the same way... but with 6 candles!

Back to earth

I've had a little break from thinking about the outside world and interacting with it... After years of wishing and waiting, I finally left my reliable work-from-home job in hope of spending time focusing on family and creativity.... I've been re-evaluating and working out the family stuff first and I'm feeling energised and creative again! YEAH!!! Here's a little pictorial catch-up on what's been going on...

A new bathroom...



New pets... Martha Wainwright and Leslie Feist, the guinea pigs...



And the chooks, Personal and Private. Endlessly amusing...



Also a birthday or two... more on that next post...
