A few years ago, I found a free printable for a Victorian carousel and have been smitten by it ever since! It honestly made my heart pitter patter with glee when I saw it! I posted about it here but didn't get much feedback on it. Maybe the photo that the website provided was less than appealing (much less!) or maybe my taste in whimsical decor is not so main stream? (I'm perfectly o.k. with the latter of the two.) Who knows...but I thought I would throw it out there again anyway, just in case you missed it or were turned off and/or misled by the crap photo. I finally got around to making one for not only myself but for my good friend Nicole who just had a baby boy! After making it, I fell even more in love with it because the detail and illustrations are too darling for words. What a great present it will be for baby Reyn's nursery and I can't wait to give it to them today! You can make one too by clicking on this pdf link and downloading it to your computer! http://www.vam.ac.uk/files/file_upload/45900_file.pdf FYI: It also makes cool shadows on the wall! Loved your visit! Until next time...
Make homemade spinning tops out of cardboard and marbles! These tops are fun to create, and they spin REALLY well. Great craft for kids!
Make a Zoetrope with a few easy comic strips for a kool science craft project.
Prepare for all the feels.
Happy 2016! Here's my first project of the new year. One thing I really love about the Alpha Stamps' monthly kits is how versatile they are. This month, our stated theme was "Valentine Paper Theatres", but when I saw the square shrine and the wonderful stripey papers, all I could think of was "circus"! So, circus it is. The cardboard shrine was the perfect size to transport a zebra to the big top. The square shrine is designed to have a taller facade on top, but for the circus wagon, I used the shrine upside down. I added extra cardboard on the two sides and the back in order to make a good base for the wheels. Here's a picture of how the back looks with the 1" of extra cardboard on the bottom. The wheels come with the pieces shown here painted black. Once they're in place, it's easy to thread the axle through them and attach the wheels. Just make sure you have them lined up properly; I first put my wagon together without gluing it to make sure that these axle holders were on straight. I got the zebra from my local Michaels store, and then dressed her up for her circus debut. I painted her hooves glittery red with Stickles, and then gave her a ruffle made of pom pom fringe. I also used Stickles to create little red jewels on her crown. She's so fancy! I added a little 3D trim to the Cirque facade; here you can see some black and white braid and some gold star studs. Back of the wagon, an advertisement for the act: The rope in front was added to make this a pull toy. I punched a hole in the cardboard and threaded the cord through it. I tied a big knot and glued it to the wall of the side to keep it firmly attached. The end of the cord is glued into a small wooden finial, which I painted black and gold and then glazed. The back step was an old wooden block I happened to have, cut to size. Matchsticks make the perfect flag poles. Huzzah! The circus is in town! For a complete list of supplies, click here.
On December, 5th, we have a déception! The Girls and I open the daily window of our Advent calendar (the big one on the sideboard in the dining room) after breakfast, when we are still in our dressing gowns, before the splashing of showers. It is a moment of expectation: we are all three "glutinées", which the distortion of the word "agglutinées" (clumped) used by my elder Girl, like a swarm of bees, buzzing and trying not to tear the frail leaf of paper that will reveal the drawing of the day. Then, come the comments. And today, they were of disappointment. All right. A drum is a toy, mostly used by boys - mostly, because girls love to make noise as well - but it is a silly toy for our tastes. We have never been deprived of noisy toys and we have had noisy romps, when we were not living in flats where neighbours might have complained. But the drums have always been limited to the house in the country and have never been favourites. They were toys found in the attic, left by grand-fathers and uncles. My brothers would take one and beat it as loudly as they could for a while and then put it back without regret. There were photographs in the albums of these grand-fathers and uncles dressed in full uniforms of little soldiers. These were the times when Napoleon (the First, the Great, not the nephew, the Third) was not so far in memories, and when France was seeking revenge, when the Republic was established (after Napoleon the Third, the nephew was defeated), and we had lost l'Alsace et la Lorraine to Prussia. Mother's family was never very vindictive: the uniforms and the drums were left to the children. There was one time when my brothers, my cousins (and I) put the old drums to their full use. That was during the holidays, on July, the 14th, for the Fête Nationale. We paraded at night, drums first, then the crowd with lanterns and national flags, singing, La Marseillaise, L'Interationale, and L'Ave Maria de Lourdes, which shows that we liked singing, had ecclectic tastes, and were open to all ideas, philosophies and religions... Our parents, uncles, aunts, and family gathered on the terrace and applauded almost as noisily as the drums - which shows a great tolerance for our demonstration, unequal voices, and for or ecclectic tastes, etc. Mother did something very naughty one Christmas. We were invited for tea, during the week between Christmas Day and New Year's Day, at one of her nephew's, whose wife was grating upon her nerves. She was perfect. Her studies has been perfect (but I heard Mother say snobbishly that her level was far, far inferior to ours - and that was the first and only time that I heard Mother said something snobbishly!). Her house was perfect. Her clothes were perfect. Her cooking was perfect. Her children was perfect. Mother said again that her niece-by-law was a perfect ape who was able to imitate the real thing but was NOT the real thing at all. She spent most of her visits with the niece's mother who was parked in a corner, not to be seen too much and not to talk at all since she had not left her inflections from the Dordogne speech, while her daughter was ascending like the lark. Therefore the elder son was perfect. An angel. Blond - to turn mousy later. Curly - baby curls. Blue eyes - no, unfortunately brwn eyes. Perfectly dressed with Tartine et Chocolat clothes. We almost saw the wings fluttering in his back. Quiet and smiling. Sat on a low chair at Mother's feet, looking up at her as a puppy asking for his bone. Mother did not make him wait long. She bent to him, stroke his hair, smiled sweetly, and handed him a big box wrapped in gaudy paper with a big bow, and wished him a Merry Christmas. The boy threw himself ravenously upon the box, forgetting his mother's objurgations to thank Mother, flew the bow on piano, tore the paper, tore the cardboard box open, and roared with uncontrollable joy and mirth when seeing ... a drum! He knew instinctively how to fling the strap around his neck, took the drumsticks in his chubby hands and started to play. His grand-mother awoke in her corner and laughed. His mother was divided into politeness and deference towards Mother and the urge to wring her neck. She did not know how to hush her cherubim and thank her aunt-by-law. Mother looked angelic. It was a perfect pandemonium all the time we stayed. We took tea, smiling at the little soldier. Mother chatted and could not be heard for all the noise there was. She was gracious and smiling, inviting her niece to be as gracious and smiling, while we were able to see a black cloud gathering over her brow. We left, thanking for a perfect afternoon. The drum was heard from the garden and even when we were in the car. When we arrived at home, Mother said to Father that she had had a very good and entertaining afternoon but that we were never to have a drum. Perhaps this is why we were still disappointed this morning when we opened the window... https://youtu.be/HMW2rUCLvtk The Trinity Boys Choir sing Richard H Lloyd's lovely setting of Thomas Campion's View Me Lord.

New in my shop!! :) I'm so excited. I love making toys!! I've been busy the last 2 days coming up with these sweeties. Introducing, "Poppet and Moppet" Jack in the Boxes. I just listed them in my shop as a DIY PDF toy craft. Hope you like!
We were set in a group, mixing all pathways and given a brief with the word "Kinetic", we were free to respond to this how we liked.I’ve really enjoyed the project and am really pleased with the outcome. We made a battery-controlled mechanism that spins Thaumatropes with a touch of a button, we based this on a Victorian fair/circus and themed it "Trick Or Treat". We mixed both "naughty" and "nice" imagery and you should use the device to find out which it was. We had a few technical set backs but produced what we wanted to a high quality by the deadline and worked as a team well. After completing the spinning device we create a display box to view it in, based on Victorian Punch and Judy. We them decarated it and a box to fit the discs to match. The final piece, box with discs and posters. My Thaumatrope discs:
