What we've been up to...

Jake & I have had a very busy week...



Rearranging my spice rack while I bake mint chocolate cookies

 

Making salt dough



Kneaded into a lovely ball

 

Stopping to brush teeth, an important step in making salt dough



The baked salt dough faces Jake made with very little help
They are Daddy, Mummy, Jake



The salt dough bird I made following Geninne's bird ornament tutorial
It collapsed in the oven and came out wonky

 

All our creations, cooling off after baking


A few days later, we painted them with a poster paint & pva glue mix...

Painting our creations - Jake paints his faces

And then repaints them all green

The cat I made with a bit of leftover salt dough



The bird ornament, painted, varnished and somehow strung up on the tree
It caused so much cursing and swearing to get it
to that "hanging" stage that it is now known as The Effin' Bird



In the middle of all the creating, we also went out in the snow



And made a snowman with Daddy...



...complete with a goatee and pubes (Paul's idea)



And Jake played with his friend from across the road

 

And we built another snow...creature



All in one week!!  See what not doing reverb10 can lead to? :-)
