Today, August 2nd, we are celebrating Candlemas in the Southern Hemisphere, the return of the warmth of the sun and the lengthening of the days stretching out towards Spring… We have been enjoying our day making sand and egg candles…
Candle making instructions can be found here below:
There are wonderful tutorials for sand candles and egg candles on Natalie’s lovely blog.
We also referred to the beautiful book, All Year Round by Ann Druitt, this book is an amazing resource with seasonal celebration activities, crafts and recipes…
We used our beautiful beeswax that we bought from Tonya’s shop. We also added some colourful pieces of our Stockmar moulding beeswax that we no longer use to give some colour. I love the smell of beeswax, just wonderful…
Jen pouring her beeswax candle… We will light these tonight while we eat our dinner …
We thoroughly enjoyed making our candles today and will continue with this lovely tradition in the years to come… I love how our children look forward to the yearly festivals, it adds such joy and enrichment our lives.
Warmly
