colour

I love surprise visitors in the middle of the day!

how do 'nature-inspired' + mario brothers meet?

This is the question the 'party-mama' and I bantered about as we worked toward the weaving of art+creativity into her 6yr old's requested theme!
We need the charicters...we need the colour...
So we chose to marry these non-negotiables with the earthiness of a wooden substrate and some eco-conscious recycled fabric!
Buzzing 6yr olds will be getting messy with glue and building up a textural collage - filling their desire to be creative with a little bit of (restrained) fantasy as well!!
I so love a good children's party!!

creativity in the garden

Now this sudden burst of creativity I cannot take any credit for! My husband ultimately got sick of staring at a barren vege patch and planted up a storm and it is to his credit that we are reaping a bumper winter harvest!
Creativity in the garden is a wonderful outlet for children, particularly in our mild Brisbane winter! There are some exceptional books available to get you inspired, I will gather some we love and post here soon!
These burgening gardens are a wonderful place to gather natural treasures for making - seeds, grasses, etc...you might even like to hide your handmade 'fungi forest' among the leaves...just in case fairy's come to visit, you know!
