Here's Clara's finished marionette project (spelling...I guess I should have looked at that before). She created a fairy, making the gown, face, hair, crown, arms, and wand.
And here was her next project at Shake Rag: a totem pole from recycled wood!
And then there was the party "streamers" that we decided to make after seeing something like it at one of our churches. I had originally seen the idea in Amanda Blake Soule's "The Creative Family." This was one of the easiest and coolest projects we've done. The kids love the colors and are already excited about putting it up for each birthday!
Here are the kids working on fairy house furniture after reading fairy books one day this week. They made the sweetest little beds and used the cupcakes we made out of felt as cute little pillows. We also walked around outside picking out materials for fairy houses. We found the most wonderful stump, but need some help with the lifting yet. This has also led to making shoes for Clara's tooth fairy, Rainbow Sparkle.
More recent creations: a fairy elevator (complete with toad stool), pillows and a sleeping bag sewn for Simon's koala bear, and one of the beds with the cupcake pillow.
And I couldn't leave out the soup we made tonight with our salmon and sweet potato fries. I never would have tried this soup before our new nutritional plan. It is called "Garlic Spinach Soup" straight out of the Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook. Eighteen garlic cloves are used with this recipe, so it is a super candida-fighter. I didn't know if anyone would eat it, and Simon asked for a 2nd bowl! (I did puree it because I knew there would be NO CHANCE that it would have been consumed if I didn't.) But, he is also the boy who demands broccoli now. His tastes have really changed since beginning the Candida Diet just as the book says they do.
This is a little bit of what we have been making from scratch these days.
