I really should be making something

But instead I’m looking at this

and this

Not to mention this…

And how cute is this?

Now all I need to do is convince husband that I need one of the above! (The little frames would be a bonus for the girls). How do you like my chances?

Ojo de Dios weaving

by Kelly 2 Comments

The children and I did some weaving today. These are called “Ojo de Dios” or “God’s Eyes” and are a great quick and achievable project for kids. It also gives you the chance to sneak in a little history and Spanish lesson as well.

We hung ours as window decorations.

I got carried away with the hypnotic rhythm of it all and did this large one on bamboo sticks from the garden. I used some of Nell’s beautiful wool which I think is a perfect showcase for such fabulous wool!

We followed instructions here.
