Michaelmas

First grade Michaelmas verse in main lesson book.

The boys and I gathering goldenrod in one of our hayfields.

Goldenrod in a pot of water to make a dye bath for our Michaelmas silk capes.

The capes came out the most beautiful muted mustard yellow. This picture does not do them justice.

Making their dragon bread

Baby F's dragon on the left and L's on the right. Baby F said the whole almonds on the sides of his dragon were his wings.

We used the Dandelion Room's bread recipe this year.

C's dragon

The cutest dragon there ever was

My children after they completed their Michaelmas pageant

I know, I know. I am a week late but I still had to share our yearly Michaelmas celebration. Remember when L was the tiny dragon?!

Crafting On

The act of creating, in one form or another, preserves my sanity amongst the chaos of life. This explains why I always have more than one project going at a time as well as why my housework tends to fall behind. I enjoy seeing what others are working on and keeping calm with, too. What are you creating? What is keeping you going? Snap a picture or two, post it on your blog, on Instagram #craftingon and/or Flickr and then share it with the rest of us by leaving your link below.

A little belated Michaelmas crafting on a dark and dreary day.

What are you working on? Happy creating!
