			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a bit late to be talking about Christmas but only now I&#8217;m catching up with photographing the presents we made for Marta and Liliana. They are so precious it would be a shame not to document them here. The first present is the beautiful kinder lyre Warren made for the girls. The lyre is a string instrument very widely used in Waldorf kindergartens for its gentle and soothing sound. It is usually brought out and played by the teacher at the beginning of a storytelling or puppet show session. It is tuned to the pentatonic scale which makes any combination of notes a pleasant and harmonic sound, and for that reason it makes for a perfect child&#8217;s first instrument.  In our house the lyre resides in the girls bedroom but it&#8217;s not to be played with by them yet. First we want to develop in them a respect for the instrument, so every night before bedtime story we bring the lyre out with reverence and play a very simple tune that Warren wrote words for. Little by little they are getting that an instrument is not a toy, they love to be part of the process of getting it in and out of its case and eventually they sit on our laps and we let them strum the strings very gently as they show interest.</p>
<p>When Warren finished the lyre he asked me to make a case for it, so I did. I really enjoyed the process of sewing without a pattern and having to design it from scratch. It was challenging and rewarding at the same time. I made a few mistakes but still enjoyed the final result, it&#8217;s full of character! The pocket you see on the outside is to hold the tuner.</p>

<p><em>Já tá um pouco tarde para ainda estar falando de Natal mas só agora eu estou tendo tempo de fotografar os presentes que fizemos para a Marta e a Liliana. Eles sáo tão preciosos que seria uma pena não documentá-los aqui. O primeiro presente é uma linda lira feita pelo Warren. A lira é um instrumento de cordas muito usado nos jardins de infância Waldorf pelo seu som tão suave e gentil. Geralmente ela é tocada pela professora no início da sessão de contar história ou do show de marionete. Ela é afinada de acordo coma escala pentatônica que faz qualquer combinação de notas soar harmônica, por isso ela também é considerada um primeiro instrumento perfeito para crianças. Em casa a lira mora no quarto das meninas mas não está lá para elas brincarem ou a tocarem ainda. Primeiro queremos desenvolver nas meninas um senso de respeito ao instrumento. Toda noite antes da história a gente pega a lira com reverência e toca uma melodia muito simples para qual o Warren escreveu a letra. Pouco a pouco as meninas estão entendendo que um instrumento não é um brinquedo. Elas adoram participar do processo de pegar a lira, tirar do estojo, guardar de novo. De vez em quando elas sentam no nosso colo e a gente deixa elas tocarem uma nota ou duas quando demonstram interesse. </em></p>
<p><em>Quando o Warren terminou a lira ele pediu para eu fazer um estojo e assim eu fiz. Eu curti muito o processo de costurar sem molde e ter que desenvolvê-lo do zero. Foi ao mesmo tempo um desafio e um prazer. Há vários erros no projeto mas ainda assim eu estou feliz com o resultado final, tem personalidade! O bolso que você vê na frente é para guardar o afinador.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even though we did a lot of outings while in Philadelphia I knew we were going to have a lot of home time too. So I armed myself with an assortment of crafts to keep me busy on those idle times. At the airport, still in Toronto I started a pair of socks for me. Yes, everyone got one for Christmas but me, so I had to catch up. I finished them in the first five days. The other three projects were vests like the one I made for Marta&#8217;s kindergarten. It all started when Warren saw Marta&#8217;s vest and declared he wanted one too. Great, one Christmas present sorted. Only I couldn&#8217;t finish it on time, so I brought it along to Finish it up. Did I finish it? Not yet because I also started one for Liliana and one for myself, of course! For his I need to place the pockets and buttons and for Lili I need to crochet the bottom edge and place a zipper. Mine, I only managed to cut the sweater. I &#8216;ll be busy in the next few days finishing them up so everyone is cosy and warm now that the temperatures are really dropping.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2997" title="socks for mama" src="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSC_0475-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></p>

<p><em>Mesmo com todos os programas que fizemos na Filadélfia eu sabia que teríamos muito tempo em casa também. Então eu me preparei com uma porçao de projetos para me ocupar quando estivéssemos de bobeira. No aeroporto, ainda em Toronto, eu comecei um par de meias para mim. Sim, todo mundo ganhou um par de meias de Natal, menos eu. Não podia ficae para trás. Elas ficaram prontas nos primeiro cinco dias. Os outros três projetos foram coletes como o que eu fiz para a escola da Marta. Tudo começou quando o Warren viu o colete da Marta e declarou que queria um também. Ótimo, mais um presente de Natal resolvido.  Mas como eu não consegui terminar há tempo eu o touxe na viagem. Consegui terminar? Ainda não porque eu também comecei um para a Liliana e um para mim, claro. Para o o do Warren eu preciso colocar os bolsos e os botões e pro da Lili preciso fazer a borda de baixo e colocar um zipper. O meu&#8230; só consegui cortar no formato. Estarei ocupada nos próximos dias terminando os coletes para todo mundo ficar quentinho agora que a temperatura não pára de baixar.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And we had a great time in Philadelphia. We left just after Christmas and came back last Sunday and this might have been the longest we&#8217;ve stayed there in one stretch. It was a good balance between staying in and enjoying family and going out to explore the city. We re-visited many favourite child friendly places like the <a href="http://www.pleasetouchmuseum.org/">Please Touch Museum</a>, the <a href="http://www.business-services.upenn.edu/arboretum/events_railway.shtml">miniature train display at the Morris Arboretum</a> and the <a href="http://www.treehouseplaycafe.com/">Little Treehouse play Cafe</a>. On New Year&#8217;s Eve we visited the magnificent <a href="http://www.longwoodgardens.org/">Longwood Gardens </a>for the first time and were mesmerized by their Christmas trees displays, water fountain shows and the wonderful children&#8217;s garden. We also visited for the first time the <a href="http://smithkidsplayplace.org/">Smith Kid&#8217;s Play Place</a> and look forward to going back there in the Summer to enjoy the outdoors playground and giant slide. Just before heading back home I had some mama-time and went for  a stroll down <a href="http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/North_America/United_States_of_America/Pennsylvania/Philadelphia-860659/Things_To_Do-Philadelphia-South_Street-BR-1.html">South Street area</a> browsing many fabric shops and soaking in the funky neighbourhood in the delightful company of Warren&#8217;s sister and her friend. While in Philly I also  celebrated my 41st birthday. Now we&#8217;re getting ready for our big trip to Brazil in March. Can&#8217;t wait!!!</p>

<p><em>Estamos de volta de uma ótima estadia na Filadélfia. Saímos daqui no dia seguinte ao Natal e voltamos domingo passado, fazendo dessa a vez que passamos mais tempo lá. Conseguimos equilibrar bem o tempo que passamos em casa cutindo a família com os programas de sair. Nós revisitamos nossos lugares favoritos para ir com as crianças como o <a href="http://www.pleasetouchmuseum.org/">Please Touch Museum</a>, o <a href="http://www.business-services.upenn.edu/arboretum/events_railway.shtml">trem miniatura no Morris Arboretum</a> e o café/restaurante <a href="http://www.treehouseplaycafe.com/">Little Treehouse</a>. Na véspera do Ano Novo nós fomos pela primeira vez no <a href="http://www.longwoodgardens.org/">Longwood Gardens</a>, um jardim magnífico e ficamos encantados com a exibição de árvores de Natal, shows de chafariz e o jardim infantil. Também fomos pela primeira vez ao <a href="http://smithkidsplayplace.org/">Smith Kid&#8217;s Play Place</a> e queremos voltar no verão para aproveitar o parque ao ar livre e o escorrega gigante. Antes de voltarmos para a casa eu ainda tive um tempinho só para mim e fui badalar na área de <a href="http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/North_America/United_States_of_America/Pennsylvania/Philadelphia-860659/Things_To_Do-Philadelphia-South_Street-BR-1.html">South Street</a>, fuxicando lojas de tecido na ótima companhia da irmã do Warren e sua amiga. Ainda na Filadélfia eu celebrei o meu 41o aniversário! Agora estamos nos preparando para a nossa super viagem ao Brasil em março. Mal posso esperar!!!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The past weekend was a busy one. Lots of events take place at this time of the year, fairs, parties or just friends getting together. On Saturday Marta had her kindergarten Advent Spiral and on Sunday, the first Sunday of Advent, we had a lovely celebration at a friend&#8217;s place. Amongst all the events we managed to get our house in the mood to welcome the new Season. Our nature table is now hosting the stable and the animals that are calmly waiting for Joseph, Mary and the Donkey to arrive for the birth of baby Jesus. They have already started their journey and are on their way from across the living room. As of today the branches of our nature table tree host three stars and more are coming as the Advent progresses. This year we decided to have a Christmas tree because Marta and Liliana insisted on it, only it is not a real one. Warren and I are a bit sensitive to Christmas tree farming, but also we go away half way through the season meaning that we won&#8217;t enjoy it for long. Maybe next year we&#8217;ll have a real one. The fact that the tree is not real didn&#8217;t diminish Marta and Liliana&#8217;s excitement one bit. They were eager helpers in decorating it. Marta wanted to put a string of popcorn on it (as she had seen at a friend&#8217;s place) and got busy with it. All the decorations are made of paper. Yes, I&#8217;ve been folding again and soon will show you what I have prepared for this year Advent Fair Fundraiser at Warren&#8217;s work. This is a jolly Season, we love it!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>O fim de semana passado foi super cheio. Essa éopca do ano é cheia de eventos, festas ou apenas amigos querendo estar juntos. Sábado Marta teve a celebração do Advento na escola, onde cada criança acende uma vela após caminhar numa espiral feita de galhos de pinheiros. No Domingo, o primeiro do Advento, nós fomos a uma festa deliciosa na casa de amigos. No meio de todos esses acontecimentos nós ainda achamos tempo para colocar a nossa casa no espírito natalino. A nossa mesa da natureza agora abriga o estábulo e os animais que esperam calmamente pela chagada de Maria, José e o burrinho para o nascimento do menino Jesus. Eles já partiram e estão a caminho do outro lado da sala. Hoje os galhos da nossa árvore da naturza abrigam três estrelinhas, e mais estão a cominho até o dia de Natal. Esse ano nós resolvemos colocar uma árvore de Natal porque Marta e Liliana insistiram, mas essa não é de verdade. Warren e eu somos sensíveis as fazendas de arvore de natal, mas também viajaremos no meio da estação, e não poderemos curtir tanto. Talvez ano que vem tenhamos uma árvore de verdade. Mas o fato da árvore ser artificial não diminiu em nada a excitação das meninas. As duas ajudaram com a decoração e a Marta quis colocar um cordão de pipocas que ela viu na casa de uma amiga. Todos os enfeites são feitos de papel. Sim, estou fazendo origami de novo e logo mostrarei a minha produção para a feira de arrecadação de fundos do trabalho do Warren. Essa época do ano é uma alegria, adoramos!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Candlelight Fair at the Waldorf School last Saturday was a huge success! Amongst the many activities available for all ages there was the Children&#8217;s Corner which is organised and ran by the Kindergarten parents. Children&#8217;s Corner is a magical space where only children (ages 3 to 4th grade) are allowed in and can choose up to three hand crafted items in exchange for the fair tokens. The crafts are all made by parents, mostly mums, throughout the year. There were about 1500 little crafts! We meet every Wednesday morning and have lots of fun making the lovely little treasures for the children in our community and their friends. On the Friday before the fair a group of more or less ten parents transformed one of the kindergarten rooms into this magic space. It was hard work but worth every minute of it when you see the little people coming out of the room proudly showing their treasures to their parents and friends. Priceless!</p>
<p>The room is darkened so the fairy lights can make it magical, but it makes t harder for good photography. So apologies for the yellowish tone my camera produces when in low light. I tried to correct it in Photoshop but wasn&#8217;t so happy with it either.</p>

<p><em>A feira da escola, no sábado passado, foi um sucesso! Entre as muitas atividades oferecidas para todas a idades tinha 0 Children&#8217;s Corner (Cantinho das Crianças) o qual é organizado pleos pais das crianças do Jardim da Infância. Children&#8217;s Corner é um espaço mágico onde só os pequenos  (de 3 anos até a 4a série primária) podem entrar e escolher até três ítens para levar para casa. Todos os itens são feitos pelos pais, principalmente mães, durante o ano. Tinham mais de 1500 peças!!! O grupo se encontra toda quarta feira pela manhã e se diverte um bocado criando esses adoráveis tesouros para as crianças da escola e seus amigos. Na sexta feira véspera da feira um grupo de mais ou menos dez pais transformaram uma das salas do jardim da infância nesse espaço mágico. Deu trabalho, mas valeu cada gata gota de suor ao ver as crianças saindo da sala e mostrando orgulhosos seus tesouros para os pais e amigos. Sem preço!</em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We know that there will be innumerous opportunities for Marta and Liliana to dress up and go out trick-or-treating with friends in the future, so we are in no rush to expose them to the gory costumes you see out there nor to the amount of sugar children come back home with. Our Halloween went just as planned, quiet and just a little bit scary! We brought our jack-o-lanterns to our dinner table and lit them up, turned off all the lights and had a lovely supper. For desert we had pumpkin shaped home made chocolate chip cookies. We sang Halloween songs and talked about ghosts and witches&#8230; and that was enough to get both girls healthily scared. I got the idea of painting the tangerines <a href="http://underconstructionblog.typepad.com/under_construction/2010/10/halloween-fruit.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>Our favourite Halloween songs:</p>
<blockquote><p>From ghosties and ghoulies<br />
and long-legged beasties<br />
and creatures that go (thump) in the night,<br />
oh Lord deliver us.</p></blockquote>
<p>***</p>
<blockquote><p>Here lie the bones of lazy Fred<br />
Who spent his precious time in bed<br />
Some plaster fell upon his head<br />
And Lord be praised our  Fred is dead!</p></blockquote>
<p>***</p>
<blockquote><p>Have you seen the ghost of Tom,<br />
Long white bones with the skin not on,<br />
ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, oooh-oooh-oooh, ooooh, ooooh<br />
Wouldn&#8217;t it be chilly with no skin on</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p></blockquote>
<p>=======  ***** =======</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A gente sabe que não vão faltar oportunidades para a Marta e a Liliana se fantasiarem e saírem nas ruas com amigos no futuro, por isso não temos a menor pressa em expô-las as fantasias horrorosas com rostos distorcidos nem a quantidade de açúcar com que as crianças voltam para a casa. Nosso Halloween foi como previsto, calmo e só um poquinho assustador. A gente trouxe as nossas lanternas para a mesa de jantar, acendemos as velas e saboreamos um delicioso jantar. De sobremesa, bicoitos de chocolate feitos em casa em forma de abóboras. Nós cantamos múscas de Halloween, conversamos sobre fantasmas e bruxas e foi o suficiente para deixar as meninas com uma dose saudável de medo. A idéia de pintar as tangerinas veio <a href="http://underconstructionblog.typepad.com/under_construction/2010/10/halloween-fruit.html">daqui</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago we went to the pumpkin patch and those pumpkins waited very patiently until today, when they became jack-o-lanterns.  <a href="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/2010/11/boo-2/">Last year</a> the girls wanted happy pumpkins and they had to be a boy and a girl. This year they wanted them to be scary. At least one is, kind of&#8230;  We don&#8217;t go trick-or-treating on Halloween evening, so we will repeat what we did last year that worked really well. We will have supper in the dark, sing Halloween songs and eat chocolate for desert. Anticipation is building up&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2869" title="carving pumpkins" src="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC_0928-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Há algumas semanas atrás nós trouxemos as abóboras para casa e elas esperaram pacientemente até hoje quando viraram lanternas de Halloween. <a href="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/2010/11/boo-2/">Ano passado</a> as meninas quiseram abóboras felizes e uma tinha que ser menino e a outra menina. Esse ano elas quiseram abóboras com caras feias. Pelo menos uma ficou de assustar, um pouquinho&#8230; A gente não sai na rua com o resto do povo de casa em casa, mas vamos repetir o que fizemos ano passado. Um jantar no escuro, músicas de Halloween e chocolate de sobremesa. Hmmm antecipação já está no ar&#8230;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our garden is slowing down but we&#8217;re still getting tomatoes, beets, beet greens and chives. And flowers! The weather has been pretty amazing until this past week, sunny and warm&#8230; but now, I think our luck turned and the cold is sneaking in for real. So this may be one of the last harvests from our garden before the first frost.</p>
<p>This was our first time planting flowers and I&#8217;m just amazed at how rewarding it was.  It took a great time for them to grow and bloom, but once they started it&#8217;s been non-stop. We&#8217;ve being enjoying the flowers for about four months. Thank you Mother Nature! I&#8217;m already looking at seeds catalogs for next year.</p>
<p>On Saturday we also harvested some Autumn leaves and coated them with a thin layer of beeswax for the Nature table! Marta and Liliana were the ones who reminded me to do it, so we spend good part of the morning preparing them. <a href="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/2010/09/autumn-leaves/">Here</a> for  some general instructions if you&#8217;d like to try it yourself.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2859" title="flowers" src="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC_0886-680x1024.jpg" alt="" width="299" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2861" title="coated leaves" src="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC_0895-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Nossa horta está quase no fim mas ainda estamos colhendo tomates, beterrabas e cebolinha. E flores também! O tempo esteve tão bom até semana passada, ensolarado e quente&#8230; mas agora, acho que a nossa sorte virou e o frio está se encostando pra valer. Ou seja, essa pode ter sido uma das nossas últimas colheitas antes da primeira geada.</em></p>
<p><em> Essa foi a primeira vez que plantamos flores e estou muito feliz com a recompensa. Demorou um bom tempo até elas crescerem e brotarem, mas uma vez que começaram não pararam mais. Há quatro meses temos curtido esse show multicolorido no nosso jardim. Obrigada Mãe Naureza! Já estou de olho no catálogo de sementes para o ano que vem.</em></p>
<p><em>No sábado nós também colhemos folhas de outono e as cobrimos com uma camada super fina cêra de abelha para a nossa mesa da natureza. Marta e Liliana é que me lembraram de fazer isso, então passamos boa parte da manhã as preparando. <a href="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/2010/09/autumn-leaves/">Clique aqui</a> para dicas de como fazê-las se você quiser tentar também.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I might have missed the <a title="Infinite Variety exhibition" href="http://www.folkartmuseum.org/infinitevariety">Infinite Variety</a> exhibition, but when I was in NYC in August I made it to the American Folk Art Museum anyway and saw <a href="http://www.folkartmuseum.org/superstars">a collection of beautiful star-themed quilts</a>. Quite a few dating from the 1800s. I really appreciate the art of modern quilting and what all the new fabric offerings allow for but I&#8217;m always in awe of those artists who managed to make amazing things from scraps or repursed fabric, and by hand!!!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2837" title="Super star quilts" src="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC_0789a.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2840" title="quilt 1" src="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC_0786a.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another highlights of my visit to NY were a walk in <a href="http://www.thehighline.org/">the High Line park</a> -  a suspended park in New York City,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2841" title="the high line" src="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC_0837-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>a visit to MoMA,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2842" title="MoMA" src="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC_0809-680x1024.jpg" alt="" width="299" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>a coffee and a loaf of rye, walnut and raisin bread from a fabulous deli in NY, Zabar&#8217;s.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2843" title="zabars" src="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC_0845-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>I also marvelled at a green wall at the Licoln Cente. Shouldn&#8217;t every public space have one of those? What a lovely idea.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2849" title="green wall" src="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC_07961-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2850" title="green wall detail" src="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC_0801-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And of course, enjoyed my dear cousin and her partner&#8217;s company immensily &#8211; the first reason of this trip anyway.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2852" title="dear hosts" src="http://www.warrenleecohen.com/luciana/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DSC_0803-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">=======********=======</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Eu posso ter perdido a exposição <a title="Infinite Variety exhibition" href="http://www.folkartmuseum.org/infinitevariety">Infinite Variety</a>, mas quando estive em Nova Iorque em agosto, eu fui ao museu de arte folclórica americana e vi uma fantástica coleção de <a href="http://www.folkartmuseum.org/superstars">quilts com tema de estrela</a>. Algumas peças datando de 1800s. Eu curto muito a arte do quilt moderno e tudo que a atual variedade de tecidos disponíves possibilida, mas a minha adimiração fica mesmo com os artistas que conseguem fazer essas maravilhas com retalhos e pedaços de tecidos reutilizados. E a mão ainda por cima!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Outros momentos interessantes da minha viagem foram um passeio no <a href="http://www.thehighline.org/">the High Line park</a>, um parque suspenso na cidade, uma visita ao MoMA, e um café e uma pão de centeio com nozes e passas de uma deli fantástica chamada Zabar&#8217;s.<br />
</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>E claro, curti a companhia de minha prima e seu marido -  a razão principal dessa viagem!</em></p>
