unreal

Saint Valentine Love friends (as my children call them) for D4 The children have been spending their free time after homeschooling creating some special Saint Valentine Love Friends (they chose that name). I think they are pretty adorable. L's Jan Brett hat L's Jan Brett Hat L's Jan Brett Hat L's Jan Brett Hat Hooray, photographs of Little L's Jan Brett hat! Better late than never?? No, we do not have snow right now. To the contrary, I think any possibility of snow heading our way is gone and this warm spring-like weather is here to stay (which I am not complaining about!). I took these pics of Little L back in January on the way out the door to Boise. I hadn't shared them because I was hoping to get some better ones later on. Now it seems like these ones will have to do, at least until next winter. I am kind of smitten with the fact that his hat goes well with his squirrel sweater. Both items have some scrumptious Luna Grey yarn in the cranberry colorway (His squirrel sweater is here).

Rascal cats, or rather cat. I know which furball it was. I'll give you a hint, she was pictured in my last post taking over my knitting.

I thought now was an appropriate time to post our winter nature table photos as well. Actually sooner would have been better, but you know how fleeting time can be. We will be taking everything down and changing it over to our Lent table next week. Typing those words just seemed too unreal to me. I still feel a bit of Christmas in the air here and it's almost Lent!

Lent is totally catching me off guard, not ready at all.

me too! L's birthday is the day after Ash Wednesday. Totally not helping!
Wow Nicole! That hat and sweater are so fantastic! I love both of them! I've been loving your blog ever since I've found it. I was so much more into Waldorf when my three were tiny but we ended up going the Montessori route. Seeing your lovely Waldorf and knitting inspires me.

Ah, thank you Kendra. I love that you kept your mind open and went with what felt best for your children <3 I often wonder if any of my children will lead me a different way. :)
I love the Valentine Love Friends! I'll have to keep those in mind for when my friends' children are just a little older :)
A sweet boy wrapped in woolly goodness. What could be better? How wonderful that little L's hat matches his sweater. Yay!!!

Your Valentines are so cute. This was the first year I broke down and purchased pre-made Valentines. The boys had been begging me to do so for years. I finally realized - I was making the labor intensive, hand made Valentines for myself. Not for them. I must say, it was nice to just let them put everything together on their own. They were so happy! That's all that really counts, right? -Jackie

<3 That is absolutely what really counts!

oh and p.s. it appears I always knit on the bigger side - I knit him that squirrel sweater for his 2nd birthday! Geesh! I am so glad he is still wearing it, though. It's one of my favs.
I am in love with all those fabulous wooden figurines you have. I've been itching to start brainstorming for a spring layout already. I know, so soon! The cold is getting to me (it's going to be below freezing here all through next week). Need to focus on the coming warm and sunshine. I am thinking a few spring lambs will do the trick :)

Thank you for telling me about that group! I joined and am looking forward to March :)
The sweater and hat are spectacular!
Oh the hat is fabulous! I love the gint multicoloured pompoms on it. I also LOVE the husky dogs pulling the sled on your winter table. Can you share where they are from?

Thank you! The huskies and sled are made by Ostheimer. I got them many years ago. The wooden wagon currently has the sled dogs :https://thewoodenwagon.com/woodentoy/FOS29007.html
I love the hat. It is so make-believe-like!
Какая красота у Вас в доме, очень уютные фотографии. Любуюсь, спасибо!
