Mothers Day – by Little Jenny Wren

P1230824-1

Mothers Day for me , here in Tasmania was spent travelling to the south of the island to visit my two sons who attend University in the state’s capital Hobart

P1230837-2

We travelled through the mists and autumn leaves and small villages

P1230843-3

and arrived in Hobart to perfect, still, sunshiny autumn weather
we ate lunch at an outside cafe then strolled around the docks
to the ice cream parlour
Such a beautiful day with my beautiful family in such beautiful surroundings.
Hope you all had a Happy Mothers Day!

Wooden Spring Toys

I’ve been busy making lots of new toys for spring, and I thought I’d give you a little background on some of them.  Firstly, one of my facebook fans suggested a flower crown girl earlier this year when I was asking for spring ideas. I worked on it for months until I was happy with it….

A Pony for Sara

custom earth ponies 003

We have a new pony! It’s a long story how I found him, but this pony needed a new home. I didn’t know how badly, until he got here.

Kiah and her lamb, Patience.
