Here is Doreen, one of our lovely international parents, with her first ever horse she has made. She is observing the Midnight Elves tradition of ringing the bell at the completion of the creation. Maybe you’d like to come and ring the bell……

Meanwhile a short hop away a zealous Elf scissors away on her sick bed getting gnome circles and blossom fairies ready for soon stitching hands.

A new dress is finished for a lucky limbed doll

These were some of the creations completed, while many more got started.

Yes it’s happening again – finish your gardening, put dinner on slow cook, give your children a playdate with a neighbour and come and join us for some fun and nurturing at The Midnight Elves Mid-Winter Retreat. This time Gabrielle and Peter are opening their doors for us at 91 Trewavas St, Motueka from 5pm Friday 29 June til Sunday 1 July. Feel free to pop in for a moment, have a cup of tea, collect some stitching or linger longer for a shared meal, good company and a movie on Saturday night. More info later.

We invite and welcome all to come and share the special market at Motueka Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten, December 3, 2017. 10am to 2pm. 33 Wallace Street, Motueka. Crafts, music, cafe, Giving Tree and that special feeling that is honouring the spirit of Christmas.

A little bird told me that The Midnight Elves are getting ready for Christmas really soon, they are having a weekend of dollmaking at the dollmaking room, November 10, 11, and 12. Hope you can come – spread the word.

Dollmaking Room, Motueka Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten, Wallace Street, Motueka. Times: Friday 5-10, Saturday and Sunday 10-5.

The Midnight Elves will be here!

Come and find some fantastical Christmas treasures.

Last weekends Spring Fair here in Motueka had been threatened with weather bombs and there was uncertainty whether to go ahead – the angels prevailed and lots of people wore gumboots. Check it out – we raised approx. $26,000 – now we just need $1.7 million to build the new school – Any takers?

As you can see we are creating a beautiful farm school with wonderful people and a joyful sense of community. Come and join us 🙂

It’s spring, wake up my beauty

This beautiful fleece picture was made by one of The Midnight Elves. To see this and other exquisite creations come to our Spring Fair, Sunday 10 September at our school farm, Robinson’s Road, Lower Moutere.
