Hard at Hand Work

'Busy Hands, Happy Heart' applies in our house to all members.
We all have our favourite mediums to keep our hands occupied, but everyone is willing to try anything.
Sewing, in all it's forms, gets plenty of attention.

I rummaged through the years art folder to find my personal favourites: portraits.
Miss O had recently drawn one of her and her sister.
Miss C drew one of her brother months ago that made me smile! Particularly the little turned up tufts of hair!
They chose their thread and starting working the hoop for the first time.

These are great projects to work on over days and weeks, while being read to, listening to music or keeping the peace!
