School Bags

This project was a definite collaboration between the girls and I. The girls drew self portraits in chalk and then I embroidered their pictures and made the bags. I am really pleased how the bags came out and the girls are very proud of them. And the best thing is that their first school bags are so meaningful, so personalized and so them.

A Sweet Daisy Party

The girls arrived home from their first week in the Daisy class at our Waldorf pre-school to a celebration fit for new daisies...

School Slippers

Yesterday we celebrated the girls' first day of Waldorf pre-school. The girls did great, but Eric and I were a nervous wreck.

I'm not sure if I made these slippers (here is the pattern) for the girls or for a mummy who needed to send her babes off surrounded by the comforts of home. I'm not sure if my story (that each little hand-stitch was a mummy hug) was for them or me.

I watched these sweet girls of mine, with slippers in tow, dance off into class and not look back. And I picked up hot, tired and very happy girls - who felt their mummy hugs all morning long.

Yes, it was good day at school.

Buttercups

Today the girls and I went to our first day of Waldorf play group. Our class is called the Buttercups!

Eric's family always took a picture of his first day of school and I am proud to carry on the family tradition.

Thursday Play Dates

Our Thursday Waldorf playgroup ended for the summer and has been replaced with Thursday play dates with our boys. So fun.
