Everything is summery and bright and pretty in my little world these days.
The children are home with me all day long, free as birds from school and nursery school. Their joy and playfulness seems to rub off on me and my creations.
We actually do a bit of summer school at home though. The fun part is their eagerness to sit down to our home "school". Well, my little one is actually the most eager, perhaps because she hasn't really gone to school yet?
It is so sweet though because my son will now sit down on occasion and read a book for little one. Today they played monopoly together and didn't quarrel once.
I hope you like the mushroom decorations? I had to make more when I got this delicious package from a wonderful Etsy seller: Paper and String.
As usual I had some help with opening...Rrrrrriiiiip...
Then we had to look at each and every lovely one of them! They are just so color saturated and pretty! I like the weight of them, the wool in them must make them more substantial.
Now I have the colors I need to make more blossoms for the mushrooms. I have added a few of them, some dolls, and garlands to my shop. I hope you had a happy weekend and are ready for a wonderful week ahead! I am crossing my fingers for another beautiful week and some great times at the beach.
Beautiful!! Your summer world looks bright, peaceful, and full of fun!

I'm afraid that I would just want to sit and look at the pretty colored wool felt. Very nice! Nice to have the kids home too I'll bet! I do miss that!
We went last night to a local fire works display... it's to celebrate when the Pioneers came into the Salt Lake Valley... in 1847... there is a concert and Fireworks. But from where we sit now... about hmmm 1/2 mile away we can't hear the music (although it was getting so you couldn't hear it when we were in the vicinity of the music either... Too Many Noisy People!) but the fireworks and the company is great!

Beautiful colors, and not just on the felts, Emily. The red on the bunting is very pretty as well. The second from the left, on the bunting, is my favorite. You have a very good eye with colors.

Love the brightness of your summer days Emily. That stash of felt looks amazing. Thanks for sharing the seller.
Hope the sun comes back soon!

I just love the color combos you use, both in your projects and the photos. There is something about the pretty colors against the white background that makes me want to just sit and gaze at the photos for ages!
