WiP Wednesday - Tiny Gnome Hat

Well, I really have no problem doing the same project over and over and over again. Just ask my friends how it was with the little gnome dolls. :)




I'm making this one to fit a 3-6 month old.

Peace,

Busy Tuesday!

We had a great day here! Our morning Circle was a bit rough, but I'm choosing to blame it on the full Moon. ;)

~ Full Moon setting ~

After an abbreviated Circle, we made more leaf garlands. Kate had some extras, and Tanya passed on a few of her extras for Mike's costume. Today each girl strung hers.

~ Lela ~

~ Liv ~

~ Laurel ~

Afterwards the girls hung them over their new bunk beds. Ugh, that is still another blog post that needs to happen (Daddy made them).

~ "Smile Laurel!" ~

After lunch and a LONG walk through the neighborhood, it was time to water the plants. I really consider this a great Waldorf-y activity for kids.

I'm not sure why I feel that way, what specific qualities this activity has, but maybe someone can enlighten me.

Swinging is another activity I consider important. The rhythm of it really appeals to my kids.

And maybe someone out there can tell me just WHO this child is?! Because this certainly doesn't look like my little Laurel anymore. *sigh*

Peace,

Carrie

Waldorf Co-op - November 2nd

We had a wonderful, beautiful co-op Circle today. Lora lead and did an amazing job! She's only been with us since September and everyone was so proud. Way to go Lora!

~Beautiful dolls - (L-R) Charlotte, Emily, Ima, Marina and Julia) ~

For our craft today, Lora had the kids make leaf crowns. It was huge success! After Circle, Lora had the kids gather leaves (fun in itself) and then we gathered together to create the crowns.

Even though every Monday I come home exhausted, I also come home refreshed and rejuveinated. I love you all Beautiful Mommas! (And missed you Michael and Chrissy and your sweet ones!) Our circle of families means so much to me.

In Peace and Loving Kindness,

Carrie
