Ever noticed how much kids love a good theme? A central topic is such a great way to get little ones engaging in all sorts of things - reading, writing, art and (best of all) new types of open-ended play. Plus planning a few weeks of play around the same topic gives the kids time to come up with deeper questions and learn more. Announcing MPMK's latest venture: Play Theme Cheat Sheets! As we said, playing around a theme is a great idea - the only drawback being that it requires a bit of planning. But no worries, we've got

As a grownup, it may not be considered entirely apt for you to be found drooling over cute cuddly stuffed animals unless you wanted to be seen as an eccentric one. However, let us admit that most of us do drool over these and do tend to have a cuddle or two when you are out buying cuddly stuffed toys for kids. However, this article will make you feel good because it is about felt animals’ art, which means that you can make cute animals using felt but label it as an art or craft. The best aspect of felt animals’ art, is that you can create the animal in the way you want it instead of the standard cutesy stuffed animals that you get in the market. If you want to get inspired, you can look at cute pictures of baby animals to make your heart smile. This will send your thoughts and creativity in the right direction. And the best part about working on felt animals’ art is that it need not always be a toy. You can use it to decorate other things and use it for other purposes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Alle geheimen van de wereld zijn vervat in boeken. Lezen op eigen risico.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ De miniatuurboeken van L. Delaney zijn al meer dan tien jaar een gekoesterde standaard in de miniatuurgemeenschap en leggen de lat hoog voor uitmuntendheid in het vakmanschap van kleine boekjes. Breng de charme van antieke boeken naar je poppenhuizen, diorama's en miniatuurwerelden met dit zorgvuldig vervaardigde kunstwerk. Dit kleine boekje is niet alleen om te lezen; het herbergt een geheim. Het is gemaakt om op een verweerd, verouderd boekdeel te lijken. De subtiel uitgesneden pagina's verbergen een compartiment met daarin een mysterieuze fles. Deze fles is afneembaar, zodat je je eigen verhaal kunt bedenken of andere miniatuurschatten op zijn plaats kunt opbergen. Kies er bij aankoop voor om je boek met de fles te ontvangen, of om het boek leeg te ontvangen en klaar voor je eigen schatten. 📖 Belangrijkste kenmerken: - Tot in de perfectie vervaardigd: onze miniatuurboekpagina's zijn vakkundig vormgegeven in een elegante stijl, waardoor antieke illustraties en begeleidende tekst zichtbaar zijn. -Authentiek ontwerp: de boekomslag is gemaakt van echt leer en voegt een vleugje verfijning toe aan uw kleine interieur. -Echte antieke afbeeldingen: elke pagina is versierd met zorgvuldig geselecteerde antieke afbeeldingen, tot leven gebracht met afdrukken in hoge resolutie op structuurpapier, voor prachtige details en diepte. -Vaste open positie: dit boek is ontworpen om in een vaste open positie te blijven. Houd er rekening mee dat de pagina's ervan mogelijk niet worden geopend of gesloten. -Schaal: Zorg ervoor dat u een kijkje neemt op de schaal om er zeker van te zijn dat dit boek voor u werkt. De meeste accessoires die je in mijn winkel vindt, zijn gemaakt met 1:12 scènes in gedachten. Dit specifieke boek is iets groter dan de typische 1-inch schaal -Afmetingen: het boek meet ongeveer 1,5 x 1 inch als het plat ligt. Het geheime compartiment meet 1 1/8" x 1/2". - Ontdek onze collectie: vergeet niet door de virtuele planken van onze uitgebreide bibliotheeksectie te bladeren, met open en gesloten boeken, de perfecte toevoegingen om uw scène aan te vullen. 🎁 Perfect om cadeau te geven: elke bestelling wordt elegant verpakt, waardoor het een ideaal cadeau is voor poppenhuisliefhebbers, verzamelaars of iedereen die de charme van miniaturen op prijs stelt. Bestel nu en transformeer uw scènes in betoverende visuele verhalen! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ De miniaturen van L. Delaney zijn wereldwijd in poppenhuizen geïnfiltreerd, evenals in het National Building Museum en de ramen van Tiffany & Co. Haar debuutboek, All Dolled Up, was in 2017 een nummer 1 nieuwe release op Amazon. Ze is geboren en getogen in Kalamazoo en woont en speelt nu tussen Michigan, New York en een spookhuis in het Garden District in New Orleans. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last week I showed you the start of a little piece inspired by an article I read in Quilting Arts Magazine. Some colour had been added at that point........then after lots and lots of stitching, even more colour was applied. I decided it might be fun to incorporate this week's CPP word, #217 "Pen".........so I took out a black Micron pen and doodled on the piece. I have been discussing the idea of a collaborative effort, using crows as subject matter with a friend and fellow quilter, she challenged me to do a "Crow"Flake.....I do love a challenge! this is what it looked like before it was unfolded Linking to Nina-Maries Off the Wall Fridays

De rage van de hangplant: hangplanten geven je interieur een bijzonder sfeertje. Het is toch nét wat anders dan de 'gewone' plant in een pot.

This is an exclusive design in Happily Hooked Magazine’s Pattern Pack Pro December 2017 “Ornaments.” www.happilyhooked.com I worked these ornaments up last December (2016) as part of the One Artsy Mama Ornament Exchange. Then, I had only done up one size, and worked over a store bought bauble ornament. For this submission, I decided I wanted to add two additional sizes for more variety, and since doing so, I went with a styrofoam base. You could easily find a bauble that measures the same, and it is as your base instead - it is a really nice finish to have the existing hanger sticking out. Materials: Small amounts of lightweight (#3) yarn - like Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Sport Weight Yarn, Baby Bee’s Sweet Delight Yarn or Vanna’s Glamour Yarn G6/4mm crochet hook tapestry needle for weaving in ends styrofoam balls - 2.4” for small, 2.8” for medium, 3.8” for large. Sizes Small, Medium, Large Abbreviations: ch - chain, FPtc - Front Post Triple Crochet hdc - Half Double Crochet hdc2tog - Half Double Crochet Two Stitches Together (to decrease) st(s) - stitch(es) This pattern can be viewed for free on the EyeLoveKnots blog. Printer friendly PDFs are available for purchase through Ravelry, Etsy and Craftsy. The Pattern Pack Pro December 2017 eBook is also available for purchase, and includes this pattern.
