"Winter is the best time
to find out who you are.
Quiet, contemplation time,
away from the rushing world,
cold time, dark time, holed-up
pulled-in time and space
to see that inner landscape,
that place hidden and within." - David Budbill
As the girls arrived they helped themselves to hot cocoa, and once settled we went right to work on our first project - felted soap. Felted soaps are a real treat and are sold in stores like Anthropologie and Fiat Luxe. We used a natural and wintry peppermint soap, as well as a relaxing lavender blend.
If you would like to try this at home, here is a tutorial for Ashley at Apartment Therapy.
Once the soaps were felted they were set aside to dry until next week. We then went on a nature walk to enjoy the beautiful brisk day.

When we returned we began our secondary project. Winter candles. We used the packing tape transfer method to decorate them. The transfers add a translucent image to the glass that adds to the glow.
We closed our wintry session with s'mores.
See you next week, girls. Enjoy your days off from school!
Made so & rooted by love,
Wendy
