Nothing but a House


A bevy of beautiful houses....

Hello, something different to show you today.  I'm covering in my lovely shop Indigo Moon for this week whilst Gav completes his DVD.  There isn't much room to work but i found these pretty papers i've had hanging around and decided to have a play!



 I made over a hundred of these over the last two days whilst sat in the shop (i was supposed to be stock taking!!!  ...this was more fun though), they're all different, different sizes, colours and shapes and as always when i'm creating in the shop people want to buy - I sold eight and quickly replaced them by making another eight.



I'm thinking garlands maybe...

Happy Friday, another post soon
XOXO

What a lovely way to pass the time in the shop. They are lovely. Had a look at your shop's website and your shop looks lovely.

They're lovely. I make similar too.Fun to do.
I give them as bookmarks, to pupils in class who meet their reading challenge.

What about the children that didn’t make the goal?

The children who didn't make the goal will want to put out the effort to meet their next goals! It's an incentive, not a give-it-to-everyone award. I am a retired elementary school teacher and principal and I have had a few students, but more parents, who want awards to be for anyone who walks through the door. Make it special (like precious bookmarks) and they will try harder next time. YOUR BOOKMARKS are a great idea!! Best wishes for a great school year!!!

You are exactly right! Children have to be taught to work hard. It is a great lesson that will serve them well their whole life! Thank you for setting such a good example!

I stopped to look at these as I have done similar. Mine are somewhere between 1 & 3 inches tall. I looked at different types of wonderful houses, made a tiny sketch and sat creating. So addictive, I agree. Definitely better than πŸ™„ stocktaking😊😊😊
