<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could wax poetic about the lack of making and art in my world,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but really I'm doing a lot of art facilitating for the shorties these days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So it's happening, just one degree of separation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've never been busier which is good and not great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the real reason I'm signing of on this chapter of blogging </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is because the shorties aren't so short anymore. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pu is 9 now and I almost always use images of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
her and her sisters showing off the things I tried to stitch up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that they are bigger, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they get to be in charge of their social media profile and identity,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I've decided to stop taking liberties. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And therefore, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sharing photos of them in this public space. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although this blog was about making,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it was also about kidcentric and trying to make things around the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
madness and panic and beauty and the immersive everything of parenting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I'm signing off dear reader. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you've been quietly along for the ride, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thanks for coming.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope to see you again out in the ether. </div>
<br />

Marrying kids and creativity seems increasingly difficult for me these days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that I'm not hostage to a nap schedule</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am filling my world with kid-centric stuff</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Volunteering here, there and doing some advocacy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I miss making things and art and happiness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I miss the energy it brings me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully it will come.</div>

These are funny, crazy, wonderful, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
maddening, exhausting, beautiful, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
grateful, bountiful times. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was Remembrance Day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I'm so grateful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Dad fought in WWII,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my uncle died in it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My other Uncle survived Korea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so glad that someone else is protecting me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and hopefully making the world a better place,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
especially for women and children in this world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I am grateful<br />
because someone else has put themselves in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
harms way on my behalf.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have the luxury of not thinking about it too much. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do think about the privileges and luck I have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can vote. I can work. I can attend school, and teach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can walk in the streets freely and expect safety-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mostly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can hope for happiness for my 3 daughters. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can choose to partner with someone I love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can wish for them this same true partnership.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Out there, not far</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are hundreds of thousands, millions of women</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who fear, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and who are forbidden from everything. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From loving, from living with choice.<br />
<br />
Thank you to those who stand up for the little one in all of us<br />
and serve us, may compassion reign. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I debated many things, in about 5 minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then with such a small childless window,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
used the only exterior paint in the garage.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then stuck on some geometric shapes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'll have to add some rainbow curtains</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and some interior chalk paint so they can </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
go nuts inside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I ordered it on line without a plan of what to make</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(classic-me-move)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, then found I had too little. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SO since I had ordered two colours I made the bodice </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
out of the grey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made one of my favourite patterns </div>

My favourite part is the flutter sleeves,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but because I was sewing in a rush,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
late at night, bleary brained. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I forgot to sew them between the two layers<br />
and decided not to unpick.<br />

Even though my kids insist I'm murdering them each time<br />
I try and get it off their heads-<br />
the clouds, the twirl, the cuteness...<br />
totally worth it!!<br />

Have you ever had the thought:</div>
<div align="center">
I can do that!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
And then have you ever ignored the more </div>
<div align="center">
pertinent question:</div>
<div align="center">
<em>Should</em> I do that?<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Well, this week I decided I was </div>
<div align="center">
failing at motherhood unless I was making </div>
<div align="center">
nutritious delicious smoothies.</div>
<div align="center">
And filling my Shorties with love and nutrients. </div>
<div align="center">
(Thank you Pinterest!)<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So I pulled out the blender I haven't used in </div>
<div align="center">
literally 15 years, and thought...</div>
<div align="center">
why don't I use this?<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Then the smell of burnt mystery plastic</div>
<div align="center">
began wafting through the kitchen:</div>
<div align="center">
Ah, that's why.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Off I go to buy a new blender,</div>
<div align="center">
I mean the old one did last +20 years.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Surely a new blender would elevate me</div>
<div align="center">
to perfect mother smoothie queen.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mean doesn't this rag tag crew look like</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they have a hankerin' for smoothies?!</div>
<br />
So I looked up recipies and made smoothies.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
The first round was <span style="color: #b45f06;">berry</span> <span style="color: #cc0000;">coloured</span>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I emphasis the <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: magenta;">colour</span></span> rather than the flavour,</div>
<div align="center">
because that's what stuck with me </div>
<div align="center">
when it fell out of the hands of the Littles and all</div>
<div align="center">
over the floor and covered our white chairs <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div align="center">
Fail.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Epic Fail.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Then I thought Ahha!</div>
<div align="center">
I'll make these:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">This will contain the smoothie when gravity interferes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my garage I had neglected Mason jars,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I always have my drill under my pillow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or at least close by.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How hard could it be?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOBqfb1jUsIaJOYyha-waClcAz6w0BBiyxy88Ed1aJN_Xz2oM0AoUp49NsM09mxaCCzCqm7Mv1T0VlMu4wnmjOQHUQG4D6bZb3n176XnJOFzGi9Afukn4P4K71aywDuQ7f983DGvBHL_FM/s1600/mason+jars+004+(Large).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOBqfb1jUsIaJOYyha-waClcAz6w0BBiyxy88Ed1aJN_Xz2oM0AoUp49NsM09mxaCCzCqm7Mv1T0VlMu4wnmjOQHUQG4D6bZb3n176XnJOFzGi9Afukn4P4K71aywDuQ7f983DGvBHL_FM/s1600/mason+jars+004+(Large).JPG" height="305" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I drilled a hole in the centre.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What could be easier?!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center">
In the end I concluded. </div>
<div align="center">
Anything.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Childbirth.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First I tried to get away with a regular </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
drill bit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I went and bought a new magic</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
super bit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I spewed tiny metal shavings </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all over our backyard and immediately</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
envisioned a summer of short people </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hopping and yelling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then this, then that, then ugh!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will spare you the blow by blow,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at which point I almost came to blows</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of those days, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when the drill should have stayed under the pillow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So,</div>
<div align="center">
in a total cheat and with a determined plan</div>

to take pleasure in the tiny things during those times</div>
<div align="center">
when the medium things are absolutely unattainable.</div>

<div align="center">
Wha?? You say?</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Did I make these?</div>
<div align="center">
Nope!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Did I hang them on those hooks?</div>
<div align="center">
I did!!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Do they make me smile </div>
<div align="center">
during the nightly exorcist that is bath time?</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Oh yah baby!!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
In our house 2/3 of the Shorties have eczema.</div>
<div align="center">
And while I have tried everything to abate the itch</div>
<div align="center">
(besides Voodoo and country music)</div>
<div align="center">
the thing that makes the biggest difference is</div>
<div align="center">
a quick bath every night. </div>
<div align="center">
And then basically icing them with moisturizer 4" thick. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
However, 50% of the time it's totally madness!</div>
<div align="center">
So, now just before my head spins around completely,</div>
