Easter Time Is Here!!

I love Easter!! It's such a great time of the year. School holidays, decorating, drawing, shopping for eggs and most importantly of course making, making, making.

This easter me and mum have been making lots of goodies! Mainly we have been felting colourful bowls and eggs, plus I have been doing plenty of drawing as easter is such an inspiring time. I love decorating my room when easter comes around and making my easter basket very pretty. I always search google for any crafty things but the blogs I read always have the most inspiring ideas.

So anyway here are some of our pictures:

First we have our felted baskets and easter eggs>

And this is my easter basket - which is filled with sheeps fleece and offcuts of wool>





And we have some more pics of our felted things and some chickens that my mum and I knitted>

Last but not least, some of my drawings - not many because im sort of only half way through the rest of them but i'll show you these anyway>

( ^ This one is on its side.)

Anyway I should have some more creations on my blog more closer to easter or maybe after, im not sure, but that will do for now!

TTFN!! ( ta ta for now)

My very own tree house!!

On Sunday my dad and I made a tree house! I have wanted a tree house for ages, mainly because I have a fasination for trees and I love being up high.

So, on Saturday night we started planing and discussing what we would make, then we decided on a tree house.

Sunday morning came and when we were dressed and ready to go at 10:00 clock we jumped on my motorbike and set off to look for a tree. We finally agreed on a tree and then we worked out the dimensions. We rode back up to our shed and loaded the ute up with every thing we needed and back down we went. I was so excited to get started!

To start, we cut the first bits of timber to size making it up as we went along then fitted them in place. Our ideas and plans changed alot as we went on but im very proud of our finished product. My dad is a very good builder and has made alot of wooden wares over the years.

At 12:00 it started to rain so we headed up for lunch and waited for it to slow down. We were'nt expecting it to rain and it was a bit of a suprise.

We watched a movie after lunch and when it finished the rain had nearly cleared up. So then at around 2:00 we drove back down, to finish.

We finished off, then added steps up the side of the tree and some rope swings and we had done it at around 3 or 4:00. My mum, Steven and his mate arrived home just after we had finished and we asked her to bring back down a beer for my dad and a book for me. A few minutes later mum came walking down the drive way carrying a beer, book, the camera and a cup of tea.

In the end I talked mum into climbing up the tree to have a look at the top. She was'nt very pleased about climbing the rope but she did it any way.

Steven and his mate walked passed and couldn't resist climbing up to have a look.

When they had all gone dad climbed up and sat with me for a while. He did a great job and im so happy that I finally have my very own tree house.

Its not very big but I love it!!
