Creative Friday and Stick Weaving

Kye and I managed to finish his rainbow stick weaving scarf this morning.
I sewed in the ends, took the sticks off and tied the tassels on both ends of the scarf. He wrapped it around his neck and exclaimed just how soft and warm if felt! This has been a really fun project for all of us, Jen is going to make a scarf for herself but will probably use 8 sticks instead of 6.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Weaving and Bike Riding

Photo taken with Instagram

Kye has been working on his rainbow stick weaving today, he sat there for about 45 minutes totally absorbed in what he was doing. He just has to weave the last colour band of mauve and then his scarf is finished. Caiden is going to make one next.

Other wonderful news is that Kye can ride his bike, by himself! He is thrilled! Isn’t it fantastic when children reach certain milestones, sometimes early, sometimes later but always at the perfect time that is right for each of them. 

Have a lovely day, I’m off to find a sunny spot and read Wuthering Heights…

Valentine String Heart Tutorial

Today I have been working on these Valentine string hearts. We all went and sat outside with our chickens on the cool grass, craft materials in tow, our tea and a sliced mango to eat, the boys rode their bikes, the girls and I sat and spoke about many different things…  I feel very fortunate that we can enjoy our outside time in the warm South African sunshine and that autumn is still a little while away, this definately helps the creativity to flow…

I wanted to create something quite colourful, I love rainbows, so I decided on this rainbow string Valentine heart.


 Photo taken by Caiden…

Always a curious chicken nearby…
Materials:
Wire
Pliers
Rainbow yarn
Wool sewing needle
Scissors

Fold a piece of metal into a heart shape.

I used my yarn that I dyed at a recent dyeing workshop, I really appreciate the vibrance of the colours…

First I tied on the lighter rainbow yarn to form a warp of sorts…

The warp…

I then tied on the bright rainbow yarn and started weaving in and out of the lighter yarn…

Until I had woven this…

Tomorrow we will all make more hearts with different variations…
Happy Tuesday:) xo
