MICHAELMAS

On the 29th of September we celebrated Michaelmas, the feast day of St Michael the arc angel.

My chalk board drawing depicting Michael sleighing the dragon

I managed to finish this felt dragon just in time, the night before our celebrations, and Charlie took him to bed with him.Now hes sitting at the top of our nature shelf.

If you would like to make one you can find the pattern i used over at http://rhythmofthehome.com/2010/08/michaelmas-dragon/. I think you will agree he looks more cute than fierce.Charlie has named him spiky!


Summer had a friend round and  we (with the exception of jasmine who decided to go out with friends) made dragon bread for our lunch. Summer made St Michael and a sword too.

                                    As days grow short

hearts grow bright.

Saint Michael with his sword

shines out against the night…
