Well that’s November done and dusted.
Crazy!
Here is what November looked like at the Oh Creative Day household.
We made these 3-ingredient Coconut Jelly Lollies.
So easy! And they helped to justify owning a robot ice-tray that has sat in the bottom drawer for the last 5 years.
November began with many bath battles.
This 3-ingredient bath paint made bath times fun again!
Butterflies were the flavour of the month here.
We made these butterflies by painting some pegs and using origami paper to create the wings.
I blutacked them onto a canvas to allow The Little Ladybird to “flutter” them around.
We started creating some DIY Christmas gifts.
So, I turned my backyard into a Shibori factory for a day.
We also started producing high volumes of Play Dough for Christmas gifts.
We did some side-by-side card-making.
We spent a lot of time thinking about ice cream this month.
One of our little friends celebrated her 1st birthday with an ice cream party.
So we created this bunting using tissue paper and origami paper.
I again used tissue paper to create fringing on the cardboard cones above.
Made some pom poms and voila… more ice cream party decorations!
(There was a gelato cart at this party serving free gelati. Pretty much all my dreams came true.)
I thought we’d try and do some Christmas print-making.
She was more interested in making a pink paint puddle.
How does that Frozen song go again?
“Let it gooo…. Let it gooooooo.”
I’m (slowly) learning how to let go of all of my expectations when arts and craftsing with The Little Ladybird.
Process not product, right?
I tried to hold off as long as possible. I did. Really.
But slowly and surely, the Christmas crafts started popping up towards the end of November.
We made some clay decorations.
And now it’s December.
Christmas craft is A-GO!
How is your December looking? Do you now have “Let It Go” stuck in your head? #sorrynotsorry
I love Let it Go – I’ve got the Singalong version of Frozen – I’m a bit obsessed. You really are the Queen of Craft, lady! I can’t wait to see what you’re going to magic up for Christmas! Bring it!
It really is the most wonderful time of the year!!
Oh my. This is so awesome and you my dear must have the patience of a saint. I don’t even allow paint in my house! Pom poms on the other hand… 🙂
And I now totes want a robot ice tray! Xx
In my mind, our craft sessions are all zen and Enya is playing on the stereo. The reality is somewhat different 😉
Your blog looks and taste amazing Shannon!!! I am totally in love with your blog!! I am a big fan of children books too. I have no kid but I have a husband and I think he counted as a kid…
Thank you for your kind words. And I’m so excited that you dropped by to visit! You don’t need children to enjoy children’s books!!
Seeing all these bright and beautiful colours in this post and regularly on your Instagram feed always makes me happy. Robot ice moulds sound like all sorts of awesome. I want to see more robot shaped things from now on! xx
Noted: Robot ALL OF THE THINGS!
