kid swap

K entered a little swap for himself.  He was paired up with another 3 year old and they each made each other a Christmas ornament.  K made this wool felted dragon lantern.  He received a wool felted sushi and gingerbread man.  They were really sweet. :)

construction bin

Here is my 2nd sensory bin.  Its construction themed.  We've now had it for probably 2 months and K is still playing with it.  Some friends of mine are talking about swapping our bins so we can have new ones more often.  I think its a grand idea. 

suckers

 I made my first suckers!  Boy was it easy.  We made a whole ton of batches in all different flavors.  The butterscotch was my favorite.  We also made enough to enter them in a local candy swap.  We got back homemade gumdrops, marshmallows, truffles, and more.  I have to say the homemade vegan marshmallows were my favorite.  I just bought the supplies to try and make my own. 

Another Herbal Swap

I hosted another herbal swap at my house.  Everything was so wonderful!  I made headache tea and calcium tea.  Some of the things we received were diaper spray (I've already used it all), lotion bar (smells so good!), cleansing grains (gave this one to my husband), elderberry syrup (kept my from catching the kids' colds), and bath tea (I'm saving this for when I have a bigger bath tub). 

Pants

Its been a really long time since I've updated.  These next few posts will probably be all over the place and in no order.  So over Christmas I made a whole bunch of pants for the boys.  Well mostly just L.  I can't remember which I've posted and which I didn't but here they all are.  They are all made from the sleeves of sweaters. 

apple candles

Well shoot I thought I had a picture of them lit up.  Anyway we made these candles for the table.  They look really pretty once they burn down a little and the whole apple lights up. 

handmade jump rope

We attended the local Waldorf holiday fair.  In one room they have jump rope making!  K was able to pick his own colors, string them on a machine, and coil them into a jump rope.  He and his brother have been having a great time playing with the rope.
