Waldorf Kids en route

Some thoughts came after being in K. in some administrative office to get some documentation  and spending 2 hours in waiting room with many other people and families. 

It is really....hmmm...interesting? funny? astonishingly? frightening?  when we are on the way.We feel so strange and I suppose many people thinks we are strange...

Are we really so much different? Why....?
maybe because:
~ our children are wearing woollen sweaters, pullovers, hats, socks, trousers etc.
~ our children are holding their wooden cars,  rag dolls etc.
~ our children are having some apples, nuts, raisins etc. for a snack
~ our children DO not have any Game Boy or something like that in their hands
~ our children are sitting with us and reading books, talking, playing, laughing
~ our children are interested at other people, they want to talk, explain, they are asking, are open and friendly....

What is it exactly that makes us feel so far away from the most of the people. At home in our village we feel normal - here are all the kids like that. Here nobody looks strange at me when I am knitting at the playground, when I explain I do not eat meat, I wash with nuts, I use home-made cleaning agent, I rather ride my bike than my car, I prefer homoeopathy etc. etc. Here we all do this that way....ok, maybe not all but almost. And we prefer to buy organic, fair.... that is what we do. And nobody finds it strange!

And really, dear rest of the world, I am proud of who I am, I really am. I made a long way to become who I am, I like my life, I like the way we live, I like my world and NO, I am not going to change only because you are looking at me and thinking that I am strange! I am not strange, but maybe I am....and if I am....I do not care! I want to be strange, strange is cool!!!!

~ Two of my favourite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs.  I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading?  ~ joining Ginny from Small Things

Here I am again with my hat...I have already once did it but I did not like it very much and now I have found something new by DROPS and I am trying this one.


 And with my little Angel we are just about to read this wonderful book! It is really funny and she finds it just great!

Weekending

It was a veeeeeeeeeeeery nice weekend! The weather was soooooooooooo nice! I loved the time we spent together. I am so grateful for all that wonderful moments we are blessed with. Sometimes I just don't have enough, I would like to stop the time, to stay right here and savour this particular moment. And it hurts really to see the sun going down and to know that the day is going to the end. But on the other hand.... the new day is going to come! Oh, yes, it is!













  
But it is also so nice to sit down, drink some good tee and read a great book, isn't it.


I wish you all weekends like that! I feel really blessed....I think I really need to explain you something about happiness....my happiness....

this moment

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~

 I am very happy to be for the first time part of this wonderful Idea of Ginny.

I cannot really say what am I knitting now....many things at the same time....


...but the most important wool thing now is making hair....it is going to be a big doll for my daughter. I have already made her one but this one is going to be much bigger and with arms and legs made of jersey (the first one's body is knitted)....And it takes me really much time to make her some nice haircut



I love reading....there are already two books....ups! I forgot the pictures....
That will come soon....

Thank you all for help! I did it!
