Every Blade of Grass has its angel that bends over it
and whispers, "Grow, grow."
-- The Talmud
The bright wings and smiles on these angels make me happy -- they were created by Joanie of the blog Nini Makes.
And finally, a few more peg dolls, the design of which fall into the category of "What was I thinking?" My entire kitchen is now coated with a fine dusting of glitter (as is my baby, my 8-year-old and also probably the cat.)
Sign ups are open, won't you join me for a little angel swap?
P.S. In my past swaps I've set up swap-groups for children. So far I've had only one person mention that her 8-year old daughter is interested. Does anyone else have a child (or children) who might be interested in swapping, too?
Sign-ups for this swap are now closed.
We think a table at craft group is a fine place for lots of glitter...
ReplyDeleteLOVE! I'm making Matryoshka dolls out of felt, similar to your lavendar angel...something about that little round face is so sweet and...angelic!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of a kids' swap! My kids are always asking if they can join in the swaps that I've participated in. They are 9, 6 and 4. We would join for sure. : ) Such a great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteMy friend's husband calls glitter "the herpes of the craft world". It's kinda gross and then you realise it's right, and more than a bit funny. It gives me a giggle each time I realise I've found some glitter from a project we did a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful lavender sachet doll you have made, just perfect and very angelic indeed. Have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, Shannon, dear... at my house I have a table which is "a fine place for lots of glitter," and a chair (or two) which is "a fine place for lots of glitter," a floor which is "a fine place for lots of glitter," a sink which is "a fine place for lots of glitter" and a kitchen counter-top which is a fine place for lots of glitter!"
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful angels! I'm so honoured to have been included in the inspiration of one of your lovely creations :) I would love to join the angel swap xx
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Looks like it's going to be a very fun swap.
ReplyDeletePS, I use to ban glitter from house and classroom until I figured out a large tray would keep it mostly under control. I bought kitty litter trays to use as glitter stations and the children were only able to use the glitter inside the tray – works brilliantly. I don't even own a cat :)
I would love to join the swap as would my very keen 9 year old daughter - Adelaide. Thank you, Cate x

Thank you for sharing the beautiful quote from the Talmud, and lovely post. Please do make more peg angels--we are forever covered in glitter here, for moons and seasons after it has been put away and tidied up :) Would you possibly post an angel tutorial--I don't think I saw one. I have a seven year-old who would LOVE to do the kid swap as well. Thanks! bedelberg@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteOh! They are so sweet. I have been feeling Christmasy all day. This post has completed it for me. Goodnight ღ
