Saturday morning. November 16, 2013. My children made Winter Gnome peg dolls for Winter Festival Elves Workshop with my help (while playing a game of chess). Here is my 9 year old (she just turned 9 in November) cutting out felt pieces for the gnome’s hats.

My son helped bake a little pumpkin for lunch that morning. In the interim, he cut some felt pieces to dress the Winter gnomes.

Sunday night. November 17, 2013. Horray! We completed the Winter Gnomes in time for December 7, 2013 Winter Festival.

Monday morning. November 18, 2013. Oh! How joyous they look, in the morning sun!

Here are some photos of our magical Elves Workshop from 2012 Winter Festival…

Crafting for Christmas Season

Friday night. November 22, 2013. After practicing their piano pieces in the afternoon (Rachmaninoff, Clementi, Bach, Khachaturian, etc), our girls happily needle-felted Christmas tree ornaments at night.

Josephine made some felt doves for Winter Festival.

Stacey made some honey pots for Winter Festival…
