Snowcraft - Building a LEGO Snowfort from giant LEGO snow-bricks
In the heart of winter, our family found joy in transforming freshly fallen snow into giant Lego-like bricks using the tops of storage bins. The children eagerly assembled these into a grand snowfort, crafting an impressive igloo with walls sturdy enough to host their snowy adventures. As dusk fell, a warm light placed within turned their icy creation into a glowing beacon, a proud display of their day's play.
The Craft of Whittling Our Wooden Spoons
In the embrace of winter's chill, our hearth becomes the cradle for whittling rustic spoons from our woodpile's treasures. Each spoon, from the hazel to the cherry, is whittled by hand, no machines, just knives and the wood guiding us to reveal its hidden charm.
Signs of winter
In the heart of winter, our world transforms into a kingdom of frost and light. From the first snowfall to the cozy glow of the woodstove, each sign of the season tells a story of quiet beauty and cherished traditions.
