Chirstmas Angel update

Ok, so I've been a bit lax posting about Daisy lately. She's been up to a few antics.

Fishing in the bath.

Playing on the space hopper

Tucked up in mummy's bed with a book.

And some without photos, diving headfirst into the cereal box, standing in Mischief's shoes with an invite to go to Birmingham Christmas Markets with mummy and daddy, tucked up in bed with dolly, buried in the teddy basket. Some days she's had coins, some days hair clips, most days just the verse. Each day Mischief's been eager to go find her.

Salt Dough Angel Garland

One day last week Daisy, our Christmas Angel, suggested we made salt dough angels to decorate the fireplace. I finally have a pic. 

We used this recipe:

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

1/2 cup water

Cinnamon

Mixed it altogether until smooth, rolled and cut. We zapped a few at a time in the microwave for 2 minute bursts in high until hard. We turned them over several times to prevent puffing up. 

Once cool we decorated with paint, glitter, glitter glue etc. When the paint was dry I used a  Pebeo metallic paint pen to add the letters for MERRY CHRISTMAS. I threaded onto rustic string and Mischief's daddy hung it on the fireplace for me. 

I'm really pleased with the effect and Mischief's nanny wants one too. 

8th December Christmas Angel

Today Daisy was just sitting around talking with the birds...a couple of chickens for Mischief's farm.

7th December Christmas Angel

Seems like our angel likes Lego...

The Lego town has been built over the last week by various members of the family.

6th December Christmas Angel

Relaxing in mischief's microwave today with some hair clips. 

5th December Christmas Angel

Daisy has found all the Christmas books and was discovered this morning reading them to Taz. 

4th December Christmas Angel

Mischief wore her Christmas PJs last night. 

Daisy found Mischief's stocking and hung it up last night. She was found clutching a little scroll saying

Dear Mischief

Let's make salt dough angels to decorate the fireplace.

Love from Daisy

So we did, no pics yet but we used this recipe

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

1/2 water

Good shake of cinnamon

We bleated them in the microwave for several 2 minute bursts and voila. This afternoon we painted them and as by some fluke we had the exact number to spell Merry Christmas with a spare for start, end and middle when the paint and glitter was dry I added e letters in metallic paint. Once dry, I'll thread onto gold ribbon and hang. Pic to follow.
