Sweet slippers on sweet little feet, from Heidi at: Under The Humble Moon

October, project #64

Project #64: Knitted gnome on page 84, of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year. In the project description it reads, that if you feel inspired you could make a group of them (one in each color of the rainbow). Wouldn't that be sweet? Can you imagine them all sitting in a cozy little corner, just tempting litle fingers to play with them? Hmmm... well, I am thinking more on the lines of a Tomten for Christmas, maybe he could be on the tree, tucked in for my boys to spy one day. Craftalong with love! Anna

Blue, blurry slippers. It was the best picture I could get however, with busy moving little feet. I tried one on, but I will be saving them for Christmas; from me at Wind in the Wildwood.

September, project #55

Project #55: Slippers, socks, baby bootees on page 71, of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year. We could easily make them all, or pick a favorite.

I am glad that I am not the only one who has had a busy summer. Now, as we start to turn inward and snuggle into cool days and crisp chilly nights, may our crafting settle right into our laps.

I invite you to welcome Autumn with me, in this our craftalong.

Craftalong with love! Anna

August, project 43

Project, #43: Fabric printing with leaves on page 53, of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year has so many possibilities.

I personally am already thinking ahead towards colder days to come (but not wanting them to come), by making some curtains for my boys' room, just for a little extra insulation.

As always, feel free to join in at any time.

June, project 34 & July, project 33

I am so very sorry that I have been a neglectful host to this craftalong. This last month has brought things (which I just cannot discuss on this blog) that have taken me elsewhere. I sincerely apologize. Along with this month's project, we will complete June's project as well.

June's project, #34 is a very simple one: Butterflies on page 43 of the 2005 edition of The Children's Year and ...
July's project #33, Flying ricebags and streamers.


I like the book's idea of tying the butterflies to a branch for a mobile; and the flying ricebags, I think they would be a great game for the fourth. Maybe we could make extras to go with Eoghan's lemonade stand this weekend.


Craftalong with love, Anna.
