We skipped ahead a week… but I know everyone else is jumping around a somewhat too. We were a bit behind on some of our apple activities so I wanted to keep that theme going. Also, our leaves are also just finally coming into full color. So next week will be a better week to gather …

Harvest Time Week Five: Pelle’s New Suit
This week our focus was on wooly things. We of course love them wooly things! Pelle’s New Suit is one of our favorite books. I think the kids know it by heart. For a little field trip for the kids (ahmm… yeah, it was for the kids not me 😉 ) we visited a not …

Harvest Time Week Four: The Little Red Hen
This week’s theme was The Little Red Hen. Although we did read the book and completed the project we will actually be revisiting this theme again in a few weeks when we get to go on a Flour Mill tour. Instead this week we were able to take a fun field trip to a candy …
Knitted in the Round 12″ Baby Doll – Part 2 – Adding Hair and Face
Part 1 – Knitted in the Round Doll can be found HERE. Hair, like the face itself, is how you personalize the doll. I chose to use a thick, natural organic yarn, but pick yarns and colors that suit your fancy. Also, I chose a very simple face, with little crescents suggesting eyes and mouth, …
Knitted in the Round 12″ Baby Doll – Part 1 – Knitting the Body
When Pixie opened her gift that held her new baby doll, pure joy filled her face. (And THAT is why I stay up to 1:00 a.m. every night!) The second photo is when the gown went up and she noticed the belly button. No words… but a look for me that said, “Of course my …

Harvest Unit Week Three – Rusty, Trusty Tractor
Harvest Time Week Three – The Rusty, Trusty Tractor I don’t have any notes from our week yet. We had our big Alpaca field trip on Monday then we all got sick. We all have a nasty cold around here and just doing the bare minimum to get by. Poor Pixie sounds terrible… …
Lavender Sachets
I remember as a little girl going through my mom’s and grandma’s drawers. I can’t remember if I was given permission to do this or if it was a covert operation done on the sly. What I can remember was how fascinated I was with the contents of their drawers. There were bras and merry …
A Visit to North Star Alpacas
I “met” Maple, owner of North Star Alpacas, two years ago, soon after we started Wee Folk Art. I was looking for roving to use for different projects and came upon her Etsy store. I bought some roving and fell in love with its beauty and Maple’s endearing ways. Over time we came to realize …
Lavender Beanbags
As I mentioned in previous posts, Pixie’s birthday is coming up… actually, this Friday. I wanted her gifts to have a rainbow theme. First, I made her a Rainbow Coiled Rag Bowl which I love. Next, I wanted to make her some beanbags. And NOT just any beanbags. I wanted lavender in the bags so the area …
