bits and pieces .....

At the very end of the year
there are always
those little bits and pieces 
that need to be said, shown, or finished ...

Here are some of mine.



Only tiny bits of this little felted heart
were shown, because it was a present to daughter's best friend
who had her 50th birthday yesterday.
Lots of family and friends were asked
to make a little heart,
and a whole bunch came and were placed
on a "wild" piece of wood,
making it into a wonderful birthday present !

Winter isn't really winter (yet ?)
but it is great fun to help granddad to prepare
the bird feeder in case the cold suddenly arrives !

*

Making selfies is a silly business !

*

Two friends came for a felting workshop
just before christmas



A late start, too much talking and planning
made that they need to finish it all later
(uhhhm ... next year ...)

*

This :

was the perhaps most special (almost) full moon I saw this year
on the 24th of December,
(except the eclipse moon of course
There was this awesome ring around it !

*

But there was also a  B I G  piece that we did :
today we used this second last day of the year 2015
for some serious window painting business !!!

This picture from the net was the start

Enlarged using a grid,
to almost 2 x 1 meter.

The start of the other choice of this class : a "minion"

Me starting with number two : "Rio"

But we weren't the only "idiots" working during the school holidays ...
(they are painting again the little house that was built in my classroom
some 19 years ago to make room for more possibilities to play
in the rather small classroom)

Minion in progress ...


Daughter and me started with "Blue"
and granddaughter ...

steps into the family's footsteps
;-)

Almost done !!!

HA !
I think this is a nice present for the teacher 
when she starts school again on Monday
!!! 

And to ALL my dear friends out there in the world
who visit here in blogland :

I wish you a
peaceful
happy
healthy
creative
and colourful
2016

See you next year !
