Busy

I have not been around because we have been so busy. My kids have been everywhere...dance class, soccer, art, etc... We have also been on vacation. Plus, I have been teaching and facilitating at a group workshop. So I am tired... Here is a pic to tide you by. I will also be presenting a finish a day until I get through. More stress equals a lot of finishing.

Ill finishes

I am recovering from a lovely week long bout of influenza. It seems everyone in the house has had it in the last month. But, because of my extended stay at home and the inability to look at my computer screen for long, I was able to complete two different projects.




OK really, I completed these a few weeks ago, but who is counting. These are ponchos created from an old Lilly pattern book. The girls chose the colors separately. Oddly enough, they chose the same colors for their ponchos minus the base colors. They are funny little beings. They were completed with Lilly cotton yarn. I have lots left over for dishrags.

This is a blanket that I made for a friends impending wedding. It is made from a Lion Brand Pattern in Lion Homespun Tudor. I hope they like it.

Starting

We started all of our garden seeds today. We decided on many different types of flowers, peppers, and tomatoes.



The girls were very active.



Serge on the other hand...

Earth Hour

Happy Earth Hour! We will be enjoying candle light and Monopoly.

Look it is done

Here is our new room. I am rather proud of it. We have already broke it in. If you look closely you can see random stuff around.



This is the furniture. The girls have already discovered that the ottoman will work for a bed for them. Very cute.



Here is a pic of Serge's chair. Of course, being the man that he is it is fancy.



And our pretty new curtains. Thank you Pier One for saving me from a long, boring sewing project. Serge thinks that because I can, I should. I beg to differ. I am crocheting curtain tie backs. Just a little piece of me in the room.All in all the room is very comfortable and we love it. Finally, mom and dad space.

Happy Valentine's Day

I got to spend the day with the kids. It was great fun. Our favorite part of all of the time we spent at the coffee shop. Serge decided it was high time he got some pictures of me with the kids since usually it is the other way around. We counted. I think we have roughly 10-12 pictures of me in the last ten years where I am not graduating, pregnant, or acting as backdrop to a child.

This is a picture of me with the kids. I thought it was pretty funny because I look so worried and they are all so random:)

Painting

We have big plans for this weekend. We are going to paint the rooms and go furniture shopping. Honestly the rooms look so much even when they are just covered in primer. Here we are getting started.




I figured it would be best to just get it out of the way and let the girls paint a bit. We knew they would do it anyway. It is always better when they do things in front of us, instead of trying to do things in secret. Much cleaner.

After a while Serge's attention wandered and he began to play with the camera. This is not unusual for him. Very cute Babe.



What do you think of the color?
