Sweet and simple lantern tutorial from the blog River Blissed
Lanterns are an easy activity for families to create together. They symbolize that though the sunlight is waning, warmth and light still shine from our hearts, our homes and within the spirit of community.
Upcycled Sweater Mittens from Hobby Farm and Home
This tutorial is easy enough for children in first or second grade and would make a great gift. You might want to do this with a group and create mismatched friendship mittens from everyone's old sweaters. You could also bring them to a homeless shelter to warm another heart.
How do you create an inviting and beautiful table for your family? This website, Remove and Replace, has many lovely ideas to adorn your table for Thanksgiving or anytime. I'm going to give the dried corn and candle centerpiece (pictured left) a try this year.
Seasonal Verse
November is the start of the rainy season here in northern California (we hope)!
It’s raining, it’s raining, the roots are getting wet.
It’s raining, it’s raining, the roots are getting wet.
The rain it helps the flowers bloom, the mud we’ll sweep out with our broom.
It’s raining, it’s raining, the roots are getting wet.
