Stepping Stones: crafty things

I have lots to say on here, so will start off with something simple to make sure I finish this soon!

Here are a few crafty bits and pieces from over the past few months...

VALENTINES DAY

Valentines and photos from cousins and friends.

Cards the children made in Primary when we went to Kidderminster for Nanny's farewell sacrament talk. Valentines Day for everyone else was Christmas Day at Nanny's. :o)

Hearts we made to hang up for valenines day. There were others around the house on bedroom doors too.

WEAVING

Hannah weaving (with some packing materials that brought something in the mail to us) and tissue paper.

EASTER

We kept Easter simple as Daddy was away for a week, and lots else going on besides, and just coloured some boiled eggs. You can see lots of lovely Easter designs there.

One of Hannah's, showing all the colours of love, from an Easter story we read on Easter Sunday for our family home evening, followed by colouring the eggs.

While we had our egg hunt on the Monday, Samuel enjoyed a sleep with Gramps, as he and Granma had come to visit for a couple of days.

Here they all are with their treasures.
They had a treasure hunt first around the house and found a few other easter gifts.

The fruit was in felted eggs that we had made during the previous week, and they were each searching for their own wgg creations plus a couple of other eggy shaped things.

Our nature/seasons ring had changed too to tell the Easter story. We had:
- a crotcheted cup to represent the last supper
- a wooden stick cross to represent the crucifixion
- a felted tomb with round stone to represent Jesus coming to life again
- a fish to represent a couple of stories from after he rose from the dead
(eating fish and honeycomb with the disciples to show he wasn't a spirit,
and cooking a meal of fish on the seashore which he ate with the disciples)
- some small felted coloured eggs
- a red heart in the centre to represent Jesus' love for us in giving his life for each of us
