Waiting

Last weekend we dismantled the christmas tree together. It left an empty spot in our livingroom. But it's too early to get spring items out. We haven't had a real winter yet. We're looking forward to spring though. Like the root children, seeds and plants waiting to sprout. Figures from the Story of the rootchildren, written by Sybille von Olfers. I've made these rootchildren before, but came across this great tutorial recently. I like that the rootchildren in this tutorial are wearing cute hats. And crocheted a hat for one of my children right away. More tutorials for rootchildren: here and here.
