The Motherload

That table full of procrastinated projects is including, but not limited to:
- one birthday/celebration banner that should have been done for Lukka's birthday (June 21st)...I get to blame the sewing machine broken for that one
-3 unknitted projects I was really getting into (i.e. thinking about starting) before I was nauseus for 2 months
-1 paintbrush used for "painting with water" outside. DONE.
-1 package of unmailed magazines to poor friend in Africa with no magazines. Oops. It's gonna happen in September, most likely.
-1 bag of clothespines. Who knows.
- 4 amazing craft books I ordered, wanted to do at least one project per book before the end of the year. Yeah, that's a joke.
-8 unfinished, only 1 started, embroidered dish towels/burp clothes. Um, a wedding on Sept 6. I still have time........
-One neglected sewing machine. Betsy, I still love you, it's just that...I've had bigger fish to fry lately (i.e. sitting on the couch with hubs and promptly falling asleep at 8:30 PM)

So as you can see, I've done a whole lotta nothin' these past few weeks (ahem, months) and unless we have people look at our house this weekend (it's been offically 'off the market' while we went over our options for 3 or 4 weeks), I am GOING TO DO SOMETHING. Even if I only did dress one person today....

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...

{This Moment}

A portrait of his sister. From Soulemama's blog : A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
