Garden Girl
This weeks unplugged project theme is Garden. I have a book with directions for mosaic stepping stones that I had planned on making today but once I read the directions I realized it was going to be a big project and I didn’t have half of the materials needed so I had to come up with plan b.
At our old house we made a garden fairy that kept a close eye on our veggies. We hadn’t gotten around to making another one yet, so this weeks theme was all the motivation we needed to put together a new one. This morning we headed to the thrift store to look for some clothes to adorn our new girl. And look what Molly came up with! Isn’t she a beauty???
First I dressed her 1x 2′s and then I carefully nailed her together. I put a few safety pins in her clothes too.
Molly even picked out some sparkly shoes for her, but I haven’t figured out how to attach them yet.
More garden excitement….
Last week I cut a bunch of dill that was begining to flower and stuck it in a vase.
Today I noticed the water was gross as were the dry, yellow flowers. I went to pitch them when I noticed this guy devouring the wilted flowers!
He must have been a tiny guy when I brought him in, not noticing him. We will put him in a bug home to make his chrysalis and watch him turn into a beautiful painted lady butterfly.
Great Job.
How exciting about the caterpillar. It is amazing how fast they grow! Please post photos of the progress.
