Wednesday, December 12, 2012. 9am – 11am.
Our Winter Festival last weekend (December 8, 2012 Saturday) was a success! I will post pictures from the Elves Workshop soon. (If you have good photos of the Elves Workshop or of your child with their Elves Workshop treasures that you want to share with me, I will be happy to post them.)
On this cold morning our craft group huddled together inside the craft room of The Company of Angels store for yet another crafting session. Our mystery craft project was revealed to us this morning: We would be making felt clowns. Some of us took on that project while others picked up the “Magic Wool Fairy” project that we did last week. Others brought their own projects to work on, in the company of each other.
Thank you Rachel Skelly and Christine Newell for organizing our craft morning. – Jzin

Jzin’s Craft Box…
December 12, 2012. Wednesday. I started making the second character to my “Apple Cake by Nienke Van Hichtum” puppet dolls set. I made the Old Woman last week. Now this is the young gooseherd. Here is what I managed to complete so far at craft group today.
The next day…
December 13, 2012. Thursday. It rained last night. I enthusiastically took my camera out to the cherimoya tree in the morning to photograph the dew drops. Here is the goose girl doll between the dewy cherimoya leaves. The smell of the herbs and fruit trees after the rain was lovely.
