Love to upcycle or want to start? Lots of ways to reuse objects to make useful new items!
I so (I seriously almost spelled that “sew”) need to get my groove on in teaching Mikko more about sewing. He’s so eager to learn, and I’m so … not doing it. I love the sewing buttons idea; I just need to find my embroidery hoop. I think doing that, and sewing around an outline and the like, would be more exciting to him than just making random marks.
Love these tips, since Mikko’s interested in knitting. Particularly this idea of how to start off:
Here I will just quote Allison, from Circles, upon whose wisdom I cannot improve:“I usually cast on and then start knitting very slowly teaching thechild the rhyme. Once she has mastered the rhyme, I have her put her hands over mine while we go through the motions and repeat the rhyme. Then I put her hands under mine. Then I let her hold the needles while I wrap the yarn (and keep the yarn tension). Then I let her try to put it all together.”

Love these tips, since Mikko’s interested in knitting. And this rhyme for the knit stitch!
In through the front door
Around the back
Out through the window
And off jumps jack.

Such a fabulous collection of activities to do through Advent! I have to admit I’m nowhere near ambitious enough to do one a day, but maybe one a week?
