Last Call: Get the Craft Outta' Yo House!

This weekend I'll be participating in a Craft Weekend with my best friend at Roger's Bed & Breakfast getting my creative juices flowing along with many other artsy women! This will be the second time I've been, I believe the last time was in Feburary. Although there is a cost, it is so worth it to have close to 24 hours to knit, sew, paint, what-ever with people who share your hobbies...uninteruppted! If you're local and think you may like to participate the time starts from noon on Saturday, November 20th until Sunday morning at 11AM. There is still room for you if you'd like to come! Here is the facebook event page (public, just have to have a facebook account) and if you'd like more information please leave me a comment with your email so I can get ahold of you! I'm.so.excited.

Happy Crafting! Tomorrow I'll post some of my favorite online "holiday craft retreats" that you can scout for excellent DIY ideas and wonderful Christmas eye candy.

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...
