Crafting

We have been doing all sorts of crafting these last few weeks, Mummy included!

Lots of hastily put together halloween outfits were made. David and William doing all of their own sewing. Pom poms were made as gifts for Pipin and Dibble Uncle Loz's kittens. Knitting projects have been started, and will hopefully be carried on! With the change of seasons there seems to be more time to start projects and take our time.

Next on the list are christmas gifts! We are trying as a family to be more thoughtful with our purchasing, to think about who makes things. What are they made from, how far have they come. So with that in mind, handmade from recycled seems to be the best option all round! And we are trying, but I have to say the children are better than me. Maybe because I buy the wool and fabrics for projects and they use all the odds and ends after?

Even still, just talking about our choices, thinking about what we need as well as what we would really like will hopefully encourage the children to be thoughtful consumers as they grow up.
