Another half term is here....I am racking my brains to come up with Autumn crafts that I actually like....so far we have made these little owls.....very easy, just two little stuffed shapes with felt features ( glued on as it all went a bit pear shaped with a needle and thread )
we also hunted out this little make from a few years ago, after spotting a little squirrel home in a tree.......
inspired by Wind in the Willows it was made from a box which we cut a door into and then decorated inside and out....
I think Mr Mole upgraded to a riverside loft when the housing market was good a few years ago so Mrs Deer moved in with her gingham rug and a few good books...
I have plans for this little abode......think...winter wonderland.....christmas grotto
I leave you with our favourite makes from last october holiday.....I can't find the real roll models anywhere I think they have upped and left for a better life (or worse the recycle bin )
Hope you are having a lovely week :)

Really really cute. My dd wants to make an Owl house now and some owls to go in it. What box would be best? A shoebox? Cereal box? xx
ReplyDeleteHi Hazel,
ReplyDeleteOurs was a fairy light box, anything as long as its quite thick cardboard, as it gets a bit wobbly when you start cutting into it :)
Have fun x x x x x

you are so good! I had loads of crafting plans for our 2 week break and ended up doing nothing! It was far easier to take the boys outside to be 'exercised' - mind you, it's still early in the week!
ReplyDeleteMrs Deer's house is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteAccidentally came across your blog and I thought I'd say that your little crafts are wonderful. Love the deer house - it's really cute.
ReplyDeleteP.S. For the autumn crafts - you could make some bird houses or bird feeders that you could hang outside on a tree.
Oh my goodness me these are all so lovely and inspiring!! I must make a christmas grotto too...
ReplyDeleteooh how I've missed you my friend - been too long! looking forward to a boy free catch up in a couple of sleeps...
