A little while back I told you about how I decided to participate in my first online swap. The little pegs have been made and are long gone by now, and unfortunately, I completely forgot to take pictures of the ones I made. But I wanted to share with you the ones we receive :)
And today, I was so excited to see a little package in the mail coming from Caroline, one of the members of my swap group and couldn't wait to open the envelope! Look what we got!
A little apple Sprite with a crochet apple, a little story and even a recipe on the back! I have to say, I've never done the whole "adding a story to go with my crafts" thing, like they do in Waldorf fashion, and I'm not very good at it (yet!). Though I sent out all my wood pegs, and had fun transforming them into all kinds of things, from gnome, spring fairy, to lady bug and even a bee, and though I made them all with lots of love and care, I didn't have much of a story to add with them. I hope my swap mates will still like them.
Back to the cute Apple Sprite though, I don't know who's more excited, my kids or me? Ha! And since I've been wanting to bring back the nature table (if I can find a little table) or plate, this is such a great addition.
Thank you Caroline :) We love, love, love it!
How adorable is that?
ReplyDeleteMaybe your kids could write the story for the next swap. Great homeschooling project!
Enjoy your lil' elf!
