Scenes from a weekend

Paperwhites

bubbling chile

I made homemade playdough, so pretty and nice smelling, M was in heaven

Enjoying out new trampoline

everybody on

sunshine faces

somebody saved up her allowance, Lego's provide such a calm reprieve from the children for us, lol

This happened:

 he demo'd the horrid beige plastic shower surround, (finally) real tile and stones on the way!

Zi practiced his cello

I made chocolate chip cookies

This girl was cute ♥

cat nap

new fuzzy boiled wool tiger slippers, whats not to love

The end!

Happy monday, 

Happy Martin Luther King Day

Cloud mobile

When I post 400 pictures of the same thing you can be sure of two things,

1: I am really proud of it and I love it.

2: I am tired, and cant pick and choose through the photos.

All of the above.

In spite of sick children home with the tummy flu I had a lot of fun creating this whimsical mobile. The cloud is made with 100% white linen,

and the raindrops are wool felt. I can think of quite a few people who's homes this would look lovely in

If you would like to own this lovely piece of whimsy, or know somebody who would, or would like to gift it to someone,

you can do so here in my ETSY SHOP ! ( just click on that highlighted text)

Happy thursday

New hat for Zi

It has been so cold, and I am so tired of seeing Z in the same two hats he has been wearing...

I went to my wool basket and pulled out some real wool in the colors he likes best, greens and earth tones, they suit him.

 I had forgotten how nice it feels to crochet with real wool on a cold winter day

 

I'm glad he likes it

Happy wednesday

A party for baby M

 Baby M's parties kept going all week! first he got a made by mama cake, and singing with our family on his actual birth-day,  then a sweet little celebration at school with his teacher and classmates (cake and whipped cream there too!) and finally a fun party at our house yesterday, whew

our house,  food spread

this cute lil baby joined the party

Z helped with presents

and so did little friend A

we has some pretty cute friends over i must say

and this is M crashed out on my bed at the end of his party, good times!

It was so much fun having all our friends and family over,

 and a whirlwind too, almost impossible to be host, kid wrangler

 and photographer all at once, so forgive me, these photos were the best i could do.

Hard to believe little M is three now.

Bittersweet, as we so enjoy having a little one around, cant imagine life without a baby/toddler in the house! 

they add such levity, but upwards they do grow...

Happy weekend

Fashion Friday
