Being Autumn

My daughter chose to de Autumn for Halloween.

The dress is made from flannel, the hat is crochet.

She helped me embroider the leaves.

The cape was made by my friend Jennifer, Thank you Jen.

Waldorf Workshops

For the last two years myself and a couple of other parents have been organizing craft workshops for the parents at our Brooklyn Waldorf School. Every Wednesday from 9am until noon we get together to learn a Waldorf type craft. The workshops are free and open to the public, our creations are sold at the school store to raise funds for the school. 

For Valentines day we created felt heart necklaces with roving wool and wool felt that we plant dyed ourselves under the guidance of Sono Kuwayama. 

Among other workshops we have done are: Making Wood Buttons, Wool Fairies, Circular Knitting, Plant Dying,  Needle Felted Animals, and many more.

Winter Fair Pictures

The Winter Fair at the Brooklyn Waldorf School was more fabulous than ever!
There were so many amazingly beautiful and fun activities to do. One of the many highlights was the Enchanted Forest. I was running around the whole day and only found time to snap a few quick pictures with my phone, of the school craft booth.

Good Morning Dear Friends

Every morning in my daughters KinderGarten class, they say this beautiful verse together.

I find it a great way to start the day.

The Earth is firm beneath my feet

the sun shines bright above.

And here stand I, so straight and strong

all things to learn and love.

Little drops of water, little grains of sand,

make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land.

Little deeds of kindness, little words of love,

make the earth below like heaven above.

Here I am, my friends I see.

Good Morning to you and Good Morning to me.

Good morning dear friends.
