A Fun Afternoon
Avital got Dana a wonderful Imaginarium box for her birthday
this one was a plasticine mega kit
We finally took it out and got crafting
they will have to have a good soak before, of course

The Lonely Ball
There once was lonely little ball
sitting on the shelf, feeling sad and small
each day it would wish for a bit of fun
for a friend to pay with, for some games in the sun
sitting on the shelf, feeling sad and small
each day it would wish for a bit of fun
for a friend to pay with, for some games in the sun
it decided to do what balls do best -
just jump off the shelf and go on a quest
to roll and skip all the way to the sea
and not to come back until it was time for tea
to roll and skip all the way to the sea
and not to come back until it was time for tea
it was about to leave when in came a boy
and the boy brought another ball - what joy!
now they could all run and play and enjoy
because that is what you do when you have a great toy

A Silly Poem
Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?

Something Special
I've been asked to make a wall hanging for a little girl
and was given free reign to decide what to do
I stared at a blank canvas for two days before I got started
And this is what I came up with
It is a combination of needlework and applique
They said it made them smile!

Once is Not Enough... Recycle!
This little gift was made for a proud grandmother
I turned CD covers into picture frames for drawings or photos
and put magnetic tape on the back to make it fridge-friendly
The little drawings were made by my niece Dana
Who is this guy? Is he crying? Is he having a bad hair day?
Only she can tell

New Friends
A new pillow in muted colors
is a good excuse to introduce two new friends
I bought them in the most wonderful shop for vintage toys
my favorite shop in Cannes
their craftsmanship is beautiful
but unfortunately their behavior isn't all that it should be
and they had to be sent to a quiet time out
