Wonderfull Earth

Feeling very inspired by Kirstie's Homemade Christmas , I took a break from 'Rainbow Room' business, and my little helper and me started work on our salt dough decorations! I have never made salt dough before....but was pleasantly surprised by how very easy it is. 1/2 cup of salt 1/2 cup of water 1 cup of flour Mix well and roll into a ball.........then whatever takes your fancy. We rolled it out and cut out *Jingle Bells* my daughters favourite cutter. Then we baked them in the oven on 120 C for a while then put them on the stove for a while until they felt hard! Then the fun bit.... MESS.... paint and glitter and all lovely colours, these will be dry in time for the arrival of our tree tomorrow : )

My little girl and I had a lovely day out together today at the International Eisteddfod in Llangollen. We saw some amazing singing, dancing, storytelling and a puppet show. She did lots of art & craft and even held an owl! My highlight was her beautiful rainbow butterfly painted face, she looked so fantastic and got so many compliments!
