We indulged in some art this week. When the snow hit us hard, we hung around at home. Johan made this spectacular lampshade.

Lampshade

In case you haven’t guessed it, the lampshade is made of little plastic creamer cups hot glued together.

Tanya is a budding artist and has many surprises up her sleeve. For Leena’s birthday, she made Vee, a character in Chuggington. She made it by cutting and stitching felt. Leena loves it:)

For Christmas, Tanya made Anna from Frozen for Leena, also out of felt.

Leena dabbled with some castle making a couple of weeks ago. She made a castle out of magnetic blocks. It was fun to watch!

For Leena’s birthday, I made Olaf out of felt. I also made some banana dolphins and apple cars for her school party. I found all the instructions online, unlike Tanya who used her imagination.

I like warm hugs

And finally, some pics of Leena’s birthday.
