I have been preparing some fabric this morning to make some play cloths (yes, cloths) for the boys. We picked out a rainbow of colors and now each piece needs to be cut, pressed, and hemmed before play can begin. We've already started brainstorming what we want to do with our fabric first. The boy has decided that he wants to turn his cloths into laundry so that he can fold and iron it. The baby is ready to make parachutes out of his. I'm hoping to use the scraps and trimmings to make bean bags and maybe even a small patchwork quilt for their animals and dolls. The kids are really looking forward to some new playthings, and I really need the diversion of simple creativity. October was a very difficult month for our family, so I'm declaring November a time of rest and quiet healing. That feels right to me since the earth is doing the same thing. Animals are quieting, foliage is slowly losing its vibrancy, and the weather isn't as fierce with each passing day.
