Sunny days

Moopy hanging out with me at the shop yesturday... she had her first art class with other children (with me teaching) and it went swimmingly. Thank goodness.... I was worried how we would both cope ... her not sharing... me losing it.... but we were both on our best behavior! What did we do you ask? we made paper using confetti (the colour runs beautifully) and next week when it has dried, we will draw on it. We read the newish book by Peter Reynolds "So Few of Me" (actually it is a year old). I love Peter Reynolds books.

Friends :: Louise (interiors) Emily (The Purely Cotton Co... I design/ed Emily's business identity... the heart flower up there) Eddie (photographer) Claire (illustrator)

Adorable children's art, inspired by "Where does Thursday go?". love it!

Softies (Penguin Australia)
