January Sewing!

This is just a little peek of what I've been up to since the start of the year. For more see my Etsy shop to the right! (nearly said left there - dyslexia!)

It's gonna be a good year, I can just tell.... :)

vloggin' along....

So.... hi! :)

(what's up with the awful ambient noise? It was totally silent while I filmed this!)

Merry Christmas

So. I kinda set myself up for failure on the December photo project by assuming at the outset I would fail.... Hmm. Never mind!








Nonetheless, much deliciousness and festive...ness was had by all. Christmas was laid back and quiet, time with friends and family. Nice.

Best Buddies



This is Ewan's bestest buddy in the whole wide world. He'd break out of a dead sleep if he knew he was going to be able to hang out with her. He cries when they have to leave. He proudly wore her old pink boots for most of the winter, and dresses like a fairy with the best of them.

I love the innocence and delight of their friendship.

December Photo Project 2011

I just love how aware they become all of a sudden, so in tune to their world and those around them. The more I think about it, the more I do believe that the "fourth trimester", those first three months outside the womb, is a time of protection and sheltering, nurturing, staying home, being still, and just enjoying this little unfolding human being.

Now at five months - how so much has changed already! I feel as though I could miss something important happening if I blinked for too long!

December Photo Project 2011

So, my first attempt to take on one of these projects, hopefully more attainable than the 365 Project!




- Ewan's little crafty corner. Do any other crafty mamas find it ironic that dedicating time to making things with your little one can be sacrificed on the altar of crafting yourself? Or am I the only one with mixed up priorities here?

Sure hope I'm not!

Nonetheless I do love this little corner. It's bright and sunshiny for most of the day, and he can sit and watch the world go by while he draws or colours in.

Beauty

Sometimes I feel an upwelling inside of inspiration and beauty and creativity, like a fountain or a spring forcing it's way through the earth. The only time that is a bad thing is when I have no outlet for it. It's the more frustrating thing I know.




Seeing this little ones face makes it easier for a while, but the need to create never fully diminishes.
