When I was young I used to reallly look forward to our autumn walks, especially through a particular reserve where sweet chestnuts grew. We used to collect stuff and arrange them in an icecream container or similar and have them on the table as inspiration and beauty. Ican remeber we even planted real toadstools in there. The very red and white fairy- type poisonous ones! The other day the children and I decided that the weather had turned enough, there is a definate chill in the air, and the rains have come: the nature table needed changing. This is our version of an autumn display_ no toadstools were harmed in the making of this one!
I also love to knit, and with the colder weather comes the need for winter woolies! On my needles at present are some socks for middle Maaike, her favourite colours(this week). Socks are my newest challenge. No longer content to mind numbingly knit and purl for weeks! Though there will be time for that too.
And the eldest goes to a dressup party this weekend. On the invitation was a request for handmade toys only- good on them! So a couple of moopy bunnys from
