Autumn nature table/shelf

Today our nature table looks so pretty with the candles lighting up the dark corner of the room.

I thought id share it now as it Will all be changing soon. From gold yellow , burnt orange and red to greys silvers and blues that come with the ice and snow that will be brought by king winter.

I call it a table ...its not a table at all its a shelf .

On the top tier are the Martinmas lanterns the children made yesterday ( they have just replaced the big felt michaelmas dragon) .

On the middle are the fir cones we collected and turned in to gnomes , a lantern gypsies made right at the beginning of Autumn our pumpkin fairy tucked in to her leaf sleeping bag, a felt bat and our Autumn verse.Also on this shelf sit the clay churches Charlie and i made whilst studying St Francis.

Right at the bottom we have the witchy gnomes i made the children as a gift for Halloween.They are gathered around a felt pumpkin . Behind them is the book "Autumn" by Gerda Muller .

We love our little nature shelf!

A chill out day.

Today Has been a lovely chilled out day.

Iv spent my day snuggling my youngest, helping with crafts , drinking coffee, chatting with mum, and cooking us a delicious curry for dinner.

We started our day making these cute little pine cone gnomes, just a pine cone a glue gun and some felt and hey presto. we named the red one Percy and the green one Paul! They are sat on our nature shelf looking very cute!

Unfortunately Gypsie has spent the majority of the day in bed feeling poorly but even she was able to join in and make a Martinmas lantern.

I got a beautiful gift in the post today.A gorgeous, gorgeous blanket for our eagerly awaited new arrival. I am so blessed to have such a kind friend.Iv never even met this beautiful lady in real life, but we share our home edding days on line via face book and have a lovely friendship . She is a super talented lady!

Evie made us all laugh this afternoon when she decided to use the Halloween treat bags as shoes and a hat and stomped happily around the house saying "Evie's Halloween!"

And Charlie had me stand and pose for a portrait.....don't i look radiant...lol.

I had to pay him 1p for the drawing which is now hung on the fridge.
