nice to look back upon some of the little things
we shared together.......
All the careful concentration........
of transforming wood into something
special.
The beautiful patterns of nature that we discovered.....
and the joy of creating something oh so smooth, with just
some simple sandpaper, a saw and some apple wood pruned
from one of our trees.......
What little delights can be made.....
And beautiful toys created, with a little perseverance,
some natural materials and inspiration from a good book.
How nice it is for my children to discover what it is to be
producers of their own toys......
We were quite inspired by the arrival of this lovely book,
part way through the holidays.....full of lots of little toy
projects(including the one above). Each project is beautifully
illustrated with colour photos and step by step instructions.
We are already busy with our next creation........a special
birthday present.
