This is my latest treasure and gift. A set of seven little rainbow gnomes. Sweet, sweet, sweet.
My friend Tania's mum is a knitter with a passion. She spends every waking moment knitting and loves it. Merrilyn knits many nappy pants for another friend of ours, but in her 'spare' moments, loves to knit gorgeous toys such as these. The best thing is that they are 100% wool with 100% wool stuffing. Hard to find these days, that is for sure.
You can buy your own set if you like. Merrilyn is happy to take orders.
Contact her at merri-oz@hotmail.com. Lucky for me, she lives just down the road!
Be sure to say hi and tell her I sent you!
It was Talk Time again tonight. This time, over two hours on Creative Strategies for Behaviour Management of Young Children (under 7). I really am passionate about this work, having done the very hard yards myself. If only someone had been there to hold my hand and give me a few pointers along the road...
I hope it was inspirational and thought-provoking and consciousness-raising. In all essence, this work is to support parents with their creative thinking. It is a constant theme here, isn't it! Just to keep lovingly encouraging and pushing and dragging people towards their inner creative soul.
The parenting journey is just one that truly asks creativity of us in so many ways and for so many years. Creative strategies help us stay that one step ahead of our children and one step is all we need to build solid, stable, happy, contented families. Go creativity!
We spoke about creating a vision for your family group, and 10 practical tools 'for your parenting backpack'. (Thanks, Emma!) I am madly finishing my book and hope to get it out into the world soon....
Let us know your success stories. We want to hear about them! We all do! Leave a comment here and share....
