Quiet Critters in my Craft Room

 

Another batch of quiet critters are ready to go to school tomorrow. They really are so much fun to make and I will miss having them in my craft room....

Well, I never.... quiet critters on a Monday....

 Today started out like my usual Monday.... everyone getting ready and leaving for work. Just as I was about to head out the door, I received a desperate call from my daughter who was on the bus on her way into the city for her first day at The Hotel School. "Mum, I have just thrown up all over myself... can you come and get me pleeeeeeeese???" So..... my day has changed and I am at home. When I returned from picking up my daughter I noticed that my critters weren't in my craft room.
They had made themselves at home in my dollhouse! They were in the loungeroom....

 

 And in the bathroom, I hope they didn't overflow the bath.

They were in the bedroom... oh, that could have been awkward for me.....

In the kitchen, but who is supervising the toddler in the highchair??

See for yourself....they were everywhere! I don't know how I am going to get them to go to school to help the children....sigh.....

Quiet Critters on a Sunday Afternoon....

 When there was a break in the rain, Lin and Deb sat out on the front porch and looked at the garden. Deb still can't believe that there really is a rose hidden amongst the climbing thunbergia...

Oh my goodness, Craig came out to check on the children.... can you kids please stop climbing on the roof!!

Sunday lunch is always a civilised affair.... and being serenaded on the piano was such a treat...

Quiet Critters

I am so fortunate to work with some amazing teachers in my role as a School Learning Support Officer. One of the teachers asked me would I make her Kindergarten class some quiet critters if she bought the supplies.... of course, the answer was a huge yes!! The chocolates she provided helped enormously in my creative process. The idea is that when a child is working quietly, a quiet critter will be put on their desk as a visual reminder that it is their quiet working time. These are the first two I made and they crept out into the garden to play when I went to make a cup of coffee.....
