Little Pumpkin Mouse House

Fi has really been into cutting lately. We discuss daily that "you only cut paper not hair"....
We did a little pumpkin project today and it appeared to have a door. So, we made a little mouse to live inside the doorway.

Scribble Crows!

The crisp cool air is a reminder that Fall could be here as soon as tomorrow and Halloween comes with it! We had an at home sick day today with two sniffle bugs. To help pass the time we did a mellow little art project.
The kids started by scribbling any which way they wanted to. Next, I cut out the shape of the crows. Then they glued on button eyes and attached copper wire legs. They look fun and festive! And now it's nap time....

Alley Finds!

 

Our favorite rescued chair has a mate! 

My very creative friend found this in the alley ready for scrapping. 

She gave it to us to match the first one we did! 

Hooray for alley finds! 

Watercolor Morning....

My three year old and I had a delightful watercolor morning. We experimented a little with tape too!
I started by taping off a framed edge for her first painting. She tried putting the tape on in a different direction for the next one. I love arty experiments!

Scarecrows!

 The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum has a creative and fun display of scarecrows right now! We had perfect weather last weekend with sunshine and a cool breeze to explore the arboretum and get inspired for some outdoor art at our house!
Here are just a few.....
