This week

We have slowed down this week. We have been home and crafting and reading and knitting. This week we have been reading stories of St Lucia.

This is a beautiful story. We also read another story from the Seven Year Old Wonder Book and one from a book called Finnish Folk Tales. We are learning this very simple poem this week

And we are crafting like little elves! Handmade almond soap

And wool braided trivets

And of course we are doing fun things like finding our belly buttons

And decorating our tree

Tomorrow we all go to the dentist. Phoebe is brushing her teeth over and over right now. Hopefully we all get a good report tomorrow!

Crafting

Ok. So I am getting into Christmas crafting again. — well at least for today that is

I felted up a little gnome lady with a mushroom cap (one lucky blog reader will be getting her for Christmas

She is even cuter in person… Tonight I plan on making her a little gnome man. And well– here is another project I am working on.

And Drew and Phoebe also did a few crafts today. But I have to keep a few things secret, now don’t I?
