The Seasonal Dogwood limb

I have had a dogwood limb in my schoolroom since I could remember here is this Springs, Trinity is getting big enough to help me do it.
Rainbows everywhere!  The leaves are tissue paper that I cut long strands like willow leaves and draped them over the limbs.  This is their third year, if you fold them in half and put them in a plastic bag they will keep well.  If they have kinks just iron them.

Its the second year for the folded paper star, I store them between the mattresses.

The rainbow girl was made by a friend of mine for Trinity, I share a swinging song and a photo of her in an earlier post.

Sorry its been very cloudy hear so the picture is not so bright. 

The fairies are about 8 years old, their wool hair is starting to show it. 

The bumble bees are made from folded over pip cleaners and tiny wax paper wings here is the tutorial for them http://kingdom-of-the-sun.blogspot.com/2012/08/these-little-guys-are-fun-and-easy-to.html

The clouds I think are 1 or 2 years old.  They were sewn from felted wool with cotton floss.

 
Lucky the cat sits and watches the bird outside at the bird feeder.  Waiting for the kids to come and do their lessons.
