Happy Tuesday!

 Just a few things that are happening over here on this sunny Tuesday-
Ive finished this rather adorable rainbow cardi for our dolly using the cotton I dyed here (I think I need to make some more, its so happy looking:)

 The blanket pictured is almost ready for the shop (just the binding to go) I'm loving making things for dolls, Its like making things for people but oh so much faster!
 On the shop note I came up with an idea that I'm digging.
Now that I'm getting plenty of daycare work I dont need the money for myself  so all the money that I make in my shop is going to go towards natural day care supplies!
I cant wait to get us some water colour paints (the ones you put in jars) and kite paper to make window stars. Ive been eying off a few ostheimer toys that id love to get too.
I'm excited about this as I'm really passionate about buying quality over quantity (a value drumbed into me throughout my childhood by my dad. OK Dad, job done I'm thoroughly brain washed:)
I feel like this a great way to not have to feel guilty for spending more than 'necissary' on special things, as its bonus money.
Seems I do lots of my crafting with the kids about and they like to help with bits and pieces this seems like a perfect idea. So now I have new crafty motivation ill be adding a few more shop items here and there.
Oh and Ive discovered that I can get toys at 15% off from a great natural toy shop as I get a schools and child cares discount (yipe!) Its on orders over $200 so it will take a while to save up but I cant wait ($30 in the kitty so far)
 
 Each time Hansi comes she notices straight away whats new and sais 'Karen I luuv that!' (so adorable:) Id had a go at some star lanterns (just with regular paper to try them ) and she of course loved them so we made some together

 Mine look nice up here (on top of the book shelf)

And Hansi's are here as shell bowls
