It seems the closer we get to Christmas, the shorter the days become. I’m not talking about the hours of sunlight (or in our case, overcast skies 🙂 but how there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to get things done. So, in order to provide some new content on Wee Folk Art …

One Generation to Another – Thanksgiving Gratitude
For those of you that follow me on One Generation to Another, today I’m sharing a lesson in gratitude that I learned from my Bushia many years ago. Please join me HERE 🙂
Meet Ari… Our Newest Grandpuppy!
(Ari with his dreads just forming.) We have just returned from a visit with our son Adam, and his lovely new bride, Raewyn. Did I take any pics of them? No. But I took plenty of their 11 month old Komondor aka Hungarian Sheepdog, Ari. Ari is the process of getting his adult coat, and …
One Generation to Another – Ode to My Second Child
In parenting, sometimes irrational fears can get the best of us. Here’s a story about one of my fears, and the 7 pounder that taught me a lesson worth learning! I can only image what it must feel like to stand on the moon and look down (up, over?) at the Earth. You’ve always know …
One Generation to Another is Back!
Most of you probably don’t know this, but my blogging life did not begin on Wee Folk Art. Back in October of 2007, I began a blog called One Generation to Another after my children encouraged me to “write down” some of our family stories. Over the next couple of years it evolved. Here is the blog’s …
{this moment :: we love strawberries}
{this moment} – A Friday ritual began by Amanda at Soule Mama. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment you want to pause, savor and remember. Have a lovely weekend ~ Kimara and Michelle
A Wee One’s Wedding
Michelle and I will be off for several days as we head to the Thousand Islands Region of Alexandria Bay, New York. My son Adam, and his lovely fiancee, Raewyn, are getting married! YAY! Just like Adam and Raewyn, their wedding plans are truly unique, and we are looking forward to several days in a beautiful part of the country, lots of family …

When the Snow is on the Ground (When, indeed!)
The Little Robin Grieves – Nursery Rhyme The little robin grieves When the snow is on the ground, For the trees have no leaves, And no berries can be found. The air is cold, the worms are hid; For robin here what can be done? Let's throw around some crumbs of bread, And then …
Last, But Not Lest… Pixie’s Christmas Gift
Pixie is a sorter. Actually, she was born a sorter. Seems like from the minute she could collect a stash of toys around herself, she was dividing things into piles. Sometimes the categorizations were self evident, other times, we just had to assume their was method to her madness 🙂 To this day, given a chance, she sorts. Just ask Bug. He can …
Fairy’s Christmas Gift
A couple of weeks ago, I came upon a really neat project at Leaf Cutter Designs. It is called a Sky Scarf. Basically, every day you knit 2 rows of the scarf in colors to match the sky that day. You do this for an entire year. In the end, you have a scarf that …
Blue and Sparkly “Show and Tell”
Early in the Fall, I realized that Fairy had outgrown basically all of her sweaters. So of course I set off to rectify that situation. One of the main places she wears sweaters is in the dance studio. When I asked her what she wanted she just said “light blue and sparkly.” Ok, I can …
