Let's go fly a kite!

Mr. Banks:
With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground
You're a bird in a flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite
Oh, oh, oh!Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!
Bert:
When you send it flyin' up there
All at once you're lighter than air
You can dance on the breeze
Over 'ouses and trees
With your first 'olding tight
To the string of your kite
Londoners:
Oh, oh, oh!Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Let's go fly a kite!
That is one of my favorite songs from Mary Poppins, it always makes me cry to see Mr. Banks finally having fun with his kids. I've never flown a kite, but I could watch one for hours. The picture above is from an old school book about holidays that I found at the thrift store. Below is a cute little beaded basket that I found there too. When I saw it I knew there was someone that it would be perfect for their birthday. I won't say who, they'll just have to wait and see!

Above is a pincushion that I made for my dear friend Jacqui, thought it might cheer her up! Hope she likes it! Bye for now!

Still in a Christmas and winter mood with my art, and still working on my technique with gouache. It's a much trickier medium than I ...
