Church made of wooden blocks and wooden saints

One day we were just playing with wooden blocks when George had this excellent idea to make a church out of the blocks.  We started working on it.  I had to come up with the initial plan but George did the rest.  Thankfully Anna was sleeping so we did not have to worry about her breaking down the blocks.  





Here is our church under construction


We needed some people to attend church service so guess who came to attend mass?  The Saints!!!  Yes, we had St. Therese, St Cecilia, St. Dominic as the priest giving the sermon and the rest of the gang.  I made these wooden dolls last year as part of my plan to make an alphabet of catholic saints inspired by Shower of Roses.  I have only made 13 saints so far and never got the time to finish the rest. I hope to make more this year.  







We had a small mass service done right there.  We sang songs with the saints, said prayers and ended mass. The church lasted up until Anna woke up and decided to knock it down.  The best part is we can always build it again.

  1. what a smashing idea to build a church and ;put people in too.. and then I guess he didnt get too upset when his sister broke it up as he had spent precious time with his mummy before she awoke.. You have two darlings there, and despite all the work, this is the best part, as each one grows up. I had five and cherished all the time we shared, and now we are so close, as you are bound to be too.. all the best Jx
