Rhythm of the Home

Rhythm of the Home is an online magazine filled with inspiring words, projects, and celebrations. Grab a cup of tea, and take some real time to explore all of the work that is featured there.

There is a small forum where readers can enjoy further discussion about projects and features in the magazine to share inspiration, tips, and further their communication about the many benefits of bringing rhythm, warmth and seasonal celebrations to their families. Check out others' projects in the flickr group as well.

Conscious Parenting Guide

This website is a practical guide for those seeking a conscious approach to pregnancy, birth and early childhood parenting, based on an all-encompassing view of the child.

The suggestions found on the site aim to support the natural development of the physical body, encouraging agility, physical confidence and grace, and allow the feeling life, the imagination, the emerging consciousness and future thinking abilities to arise and flourish without hindrance.

It is an interesting collection of articles, links, a reading list and information, illustrated with a lovely selection of mother and child artworks.

Autumn Craft

There has been great interest in our Autumn Products and a customer wrote today to ask about ideas for crafts to use the Autumn Craft Pack. We're working on some fact sheets to go with the craft packs for those customers who need some help choosing what to make. I do really like the idea of keeping it open-ended and more organic though, and the results customers have shared amaze me!


We stock some books with craft ideas, as well as the wonderful Living Crafts magazine subscriptions (back issues coming in 2010).

There are also endless ideas shared by generous like-minded folk online. Here are a few (try searching for waldorf, steiner, craft, autumn, fall and see what you can discover too!)

Mama Roots' Tomten Pattern (in preparation for the coming winter)

Walnut Cradle at Make-Stuff (another one for the nature table)

Craft Ideas' Autumn Leaves (for the window, a mobile, a wreath, or...?)

Gnome Tutorial at Wee Folk Art (there's also a cute sleeping bag pattern here - adapt to any season)


Items you can make from our craft pack include, but are not limited to -
* cards, wall hangings, mobiles or single decorations (a leaf on a piece of yarn, for example)
* bags, purses, bracelets, necklaces, anklets, crowns
* fairies, gnomes, dolls, animals and other little figures for play or the nature table
* beds, pillows, blankets, rugs, clothes - capes and hats, flowers, leaves, tress and other accessories for above characters
