Going places

Not much crafting has gone on lately. We’ve been quite busy these past few days. The boys and I finally got a chance to check out the newly remodeled Children’s Musuem and it’s amazing.

Today we went to the Airport Festival, which was okay. One of the highlights, to me, was that we [...]

Nature Table

We’ve been slowly working on our spring nature table and finally have a few pics of it.  Nature tables are common in waldorf education, and though we aren’t officially doing any kind of schooling, yet, it’s something that we are very interested in and a great way to get in tune with nature.  Our table [...]

Bayou Bend

Welcome Spring!

Today I hosted an outing at Bayou Bend with the babywearers group.  It was interesting how different it was this year compared to last.  Last year, I got to tour all of the grounds and take my time meandering and chatting with friends.  This year, even with my husband’s help, [...]

Berry Goodness

For St. Patrick’s day, we largely ignored the holiday to meetup with our vegan playgroup and paint some wooden eggs.  We had fun trying out different paints, but it seems that the consensus was the that tempera paints were the winner for giving nice color coverage while still letting the wood grain show [...]

Motherhood

Sometimes you do what you must…

P.S.  Happy Birthday, Mom!!!  <3

Coffee sleeve

Another FO!  I was able to finish this one in one evening.  Those little cardboard sleeves seemed like such a waste (even when Recycled), so I decided to Reduce and knit one to Reuse.    Now, if I could just make my own lattes.  Anyhow, there are tons of patterns for them [...]

Delicious vegan wheat rolls

Homemade bread is a labor of love, but it’s really not difficult and it’s not really time consuming.  You have short bursts of work and plenty of time to multitask while the dough rises.  The aroma of bread baking in the oven is so soothing, warm, and inviting.  It’s one of those things [...]

Toadstool Rattle

This was such a fun, quick knit.  It took me a week or so, but I have 2 demanding children.   I used Rowan 4 ply that I got on closeout from WEBS.  This is only the second project that I’ve knit entirely on dpns (double pointed needles.)  I can tell that I’ve improved [...]

My head is spinning…

…with all the projects that I want to do.  At times, I overwhelm myself with a million things and have trouble prioritizing them.  Ultimately, I end up forgetting a few along the way and end up with one or two finished projects and a drought of ideas.  Bummer.

This is why I’ve started making lists.  I [...]

Dear Blackberry…

Yesterday, I locked my phone and set it aside after talking to a friend.  I was changing Ollie’s diaper when Sprout grabbed the phone and started playing with it.  No biggie, it’s locked.  While I’m still changing Ollie’s diaper, the phone rings and I take it from Sprout to answer the call.

“Hello.  This is emergency [...]
