The Little Things...

Little things that point to the truth. 
Random discoveries,
Moments of colour...

I was uploading some photos on to my laptop from my camera, and found these photos that my youngest daughter had taken one afternoon in the park opposite where we live.
They made me smile so much, and reminded me of how wonderful it is to see the world through the eyes of a child.

Here are some photos she took of her shadow. So cute!
 

 Last week, we made crayons, or at least repurposed them. It was fun. We chopped up some wax crayons and put them in a cake tray and baked in the oven for about 5 minutes. They came out really well. (You have to wait until they're completely cooled and set before removing them from the tray). I got the idea from here.
It was lovely to play and experiment with different colours, and it really brightened up our day.





I've started working on a new canvas. Not sure what it will be yet, but I am enjoying playing with different colours. I am enjoying the act of just painting, without even thinking about the finished product. I am rediscovering a sense of play, so wonderfully present in the lives of children. So easily lost as an adult, but just so lovely when I find it again.
Here are a couple of little corners of my canvas. The photos are a bit blurry because I didn't take them in natural light, but anyways you get the idea.

Little things....
The Little things that bring joy.
Much love.
