Always Look on the Bright Side

We've had a creative few days over here that has lingered over in to Sunday. I'm  upstairs sewing whilst the kiddo's are downstairs making 'Mermaid' decorations for dinner tonight. They've decided to have a 'Mermaid Dinner Party' complete with fancy decorations they are making, and a menu of fish fingers, hotdog octopus' and shell pasta......and have now just announced we need a 'Mermaid Cake'....sheesh!

Before I go find the cake baking tins, here's a few photo's of our recent meanderings.

As a way to meditate and spread positive thoughts to others (versus rioting! as we've recently read about in the UK news), we collected rocks from the beach near our house, and spent time together painting them pretty, then writing positive messages on the bottoms before tossing them randomly back along the beach.  Hopefully the strangers who wind up finding the rocks in years to come are enlightened by the peaceful messages.  

Unfortunately, not my picture. My camera is acting up, but this is
exactly what we did with our rocks

The rock I painted (pic taken before camera packed up!)


The children's rocks

My daughters then decided to spread the love with the Fairies that live in 
our garden. Here they are making a Fairy Feast, that includes their fave...Fairy Bread!

Making Fairy Bread (Indigo's stuffed puppy is nibbling some
fallen sprinkles :)

All set up for the Fairies
Fairy Bread - so easy. Just spread butter or chocolate spread
on bread, cover in sprinkles - very yummy even for humans

Then Indigo made us a Blackberry Pie using up the blackberries we picked during the day when we were exploring Angmering village on foot.
Indigo's Blackberry Pie!
Will post more about our Mermaid Feast tomorrow.....have to go make that mermaid cake now!
