Homemade gifts

Here is the little man painting some gifts for nanna for “Mothers Day.”  This just proves my point that I have been off the airwaves for a long time.

We made a coaster out of icy pole sticks and then he painted it.  The best part of this little project was that he got to eat an icy pole every night as we had to get the ‘perfect’ stick before adding it to our little pile. 

I realised after we had given the gift to mum that I should have sealed the paint either with a sealer or maybe even clear nail polish as I am sure the first time she puts an ice cold glass on it the paint will run or end up on the bottom of the said glass.

He then did some general and finger painting and on the finger/hand painting I wrote a poem on it after it was dry called My Handprint.  Unfortunately I don’t have an image of this as I did it the morning of and straight into the car and off we went. 

It is hanging at nanna’s house in the exact same spot where she used to hand my brothers and my artwork from kinder and school.  Good to see some old habits never die.
