Back to the wedding...

after that little diversion....
buttons - vintage ones that I bought from Ebay.

 

Two packs of mother of pearl, one pink Czech glass, and one burgundy plastic rose..I love old buttons, the weight of them, the coldness to touch..I have a thank you tag in mind for these beauties.




Two vintage suitcases..have just given them a good clean and a bit of polish...now to re-line them with pretty paper.


and the bunting is coming along...

The Queen of Hearts

Made some tarts......


For my 'One Step' communication group.  These props really help the children learn and understand the rhyme - they're great at it now!  They now know what a knave is...and of course they all want to hold the Queen.

I've used felt to make the tarts, along with Sizzix Framelits, scalloped circles 657552.  I've put a little stuffing inside along with a couple of spoonfuls of lentils for weight.  They feel lovely. 

We also count these in 1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s, and 'share' them out...great for early maths.
