Spring Wreath


2 Little birds in between the wreath
Lovely pastoral print on cream and grass green ribbon.

Friday is my favorite day of the week, for numerous reasons. For starters, its the beginning of the weekend! My friend Emily and I always get together on friday's, switching houses depending on the week, and do a craft (luckily, Lukka sleeps through most of it--the best plan is to do it while it's naptime!). This week's craft was Emily's specialty, floral wreaths. She will sell these later this year in the Cathedral Art Show, but I wanted to know how to do it! Awhile back we went to Hobby Lobby to pick out our 'wreath shells', flowers, greenery, ribbon, and 'additions' (birds). This is how it turned out! What do you think?

Crafts on Fridays? How fun!

I like the wreath a lot, by the way. A while back I made a bunch of wreaths and spent a month attempting to sell them at the Farmer's Market. I sold one, the coolest one, and realized it wasn't my calling to sell my crafts! lol.

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...
