waldorf inspired sleep room

It looks like we will be moving a little sooner then we expected, we just got a letter from the owner of this house saying they want to get the place ready to sell and will need it by the end of this month! Its only a month before we were planning to move anyway but I'm a little worried about getting the new place ready and approved by Family Day Care in time, otherwise I wont be able to 'officially' work for a bit (meaning I wont get government subsidy for families)  eek!

So we will be living with Benny's parents for a month. Its going to be quite a squeeze having them plus us plus my daycare in their house but I guess somehow we will have to make it work.

Anyhow, here are some pictures of the children's sleep room. It is also supposed to be my craft room but seems my free time is generally when little ones are sleeping in there I mostly just store materials there and craft in the lounge room.

Even though only boys sleep in there (Rhylee sleeps in a cot in our room as she wakes rather 'enthusiasticly' and otherwise wakes the others) it looks rather girly. Partly because of things I've added but the boys chose the pink 'butterfly ladies'(Shirley barber fairies) alphabet. Benny's friend Mick had it from when his daughters were little and the boys fell in love with it when he brought it round for us. Its rather adorable how much they love it:) We also have up a cozy Elsa Beskow picture and some post cards from Marie. These pictures were down at the children's level which looked nice but as you can imagine they didn't stay up long so I put them up higher. 

Each child has a little handmade quilt on their bed (various lap quilts I've made over the years) which is my favourite part of the room, it makes it look so cozy. At some stage I would like to get some little cot sized toddler beds but in this little house its easy having sleeping mats on the floor so I can stack them if I need extra space on weekends etc.

 I put the dollies and there beds in here as they weren't getting played with much in the play room. Its fun for the children to get dollies ready for bed and tuck them in just like I do for them

 

Here is a gorgeous woolen fairy that hangs above their beds. She was lovingly made by Kate of

Apple of the forest who I did a swap with not long ago.

She also sent me this beautiful mother nature and her root children that are even cuter then I imagined them! I love them so much and decided our sleep room is the perfect place for them as I often read 'the story of the root children' at nap time. The children watch them as they go to sleep, I'm sure dreaming up little root children adventures.

 Like I've mentioned before, its a tight squeeze in here but I try to make the best of it!

 Here's our nap time verse

 This sprouting seed woolen picture is also from Kate. I cant believe how talented is, she makes me want to learn to needle felt. As does this book!

Here are a few more things almost ready for market day this Saturday.I made the wool felt crown with organic merino rovings and greener shades dyes from my lovely sponsor The Humming alpaca


Tomorrow I get the day off and its my birthday Yippe! It doesn't get better than that
