hangin'

A spot of colour

 

blowing in the wind

 

up in the rafters

 

awaiting Autumns' grim bluster.

 

Delicate and light

 

dream catching through the sunlit shadows

 

the human spider web,

 



 

these woven by mechanical hook.



Two funky friend frocks

Had the nicest time

meeting my dear dear friends

two littles.

(who live far away)

 

 

They definately need some Fly&Nest Frocks.

 

The mom and dad are super modern funksters.

 

There kids are still little enough that they

haven't resigned themselves

 

 

to wading through a sea of toys,

bubble wrapping all sharp corners

 & smearing cheerios

from one side of their house to the next.

 

 

Oh the humanity!!!

 

 

 



Time for a rhyme

Linen and lace

 

 

to say thanks for the space.

 

The digs were so great

 

 

and the ice cream we ate!!!

 

To daughter and sister,

 

 

we already miss-ya.

(ahem)

 

Gifts in the mail,

I celebrate with ale.

 

 



Beginning Again

Hi!

 

 

Home again.

And starting small after a loooooong haul summer.

 

 

A tiny little something in the middle of

lots of tiny someones.

 

 

A little bunting on our make shift bike parking

under our house.

 

We opened it up for storing bikes, and strollers

and wagons and all the little ways we get

the little people around.

 

Speaking of getting around,

these little people are off to big things

and have been

accomplishing lots of firsts.

 

First day of kindergarten:

 

 

First big kid back pack

 

For the first 'day'  (2 hours)  of  preschool.

 

 

 

The first time the littlest begins to hold her own.

Cruising and stair climbing oh my!

 The biggest grows more confident on her bike.

 

 

And for the first time,

masters wave jumping

(For a while there, the waves were always winning)

 

First family flight with 5.

First round up of (some) cousins, in too long.

 

And the first days of fall not far away.

 

Hello home!

 

 

 



crochet bracelet

Made a little bracelet

 

Heading off for a we break.

See you in a few weeks,

Have a lovely summer wrap up.

 

Rainbow Rage Razzle Dazzle

Though today she sports the black shirt again,

she swears her favorite colour is pink now.

How can a mother keep up?

Rainbow, man.

Only on the day of the rainbow dress,

Pu was NOT in a rainbow mood.

Such technicolour emotion in this little person.

In this photo she is mustering all the glee she can.

She also looks like

life is her personal passing kidney stone.

This says it all really.

A pox on rainbows,

bring back the black!!

(It should be noted that much like Pu,

the black has sequins

and glitters despite itself)

The hot hot horrors

Pu has decided her favorite colour is black

(though by the time you read this it has changed again :)

And she is in a stage of wearing black

long sleeve shirts with black pants or leggings.

It's summer.

She's also consequently in a whining

 and grumping I'm too hot stage.

Coincidence?

So I tried to find the middle

by making her a sundress with black stripes.

See the torture??

We then tried to wear it as a shirt.

Oh the horrors!!

Snip snip.

The mini, happy version.

Apparently,

 Pu has already reached her teenage years

(at age 5).



Thank goodness we kept making humans.

Humans,

 who are willing to wear my weird clothing.



Speaking of weird clothing...

Rest assured, I won't be wearing this tank top,

with this headscarf,

while caring this baby...

But that's some fine striped material.

This is me post shower, no make up,

no sleep

Someone take a nap on the bags under my eyes.

Simply Summer Sandle- Silly

First there was only one silly summer sandal.

I saw it on pinterest and went for it.

Despite all good sensible thinking.

I don't really crochet, so there was some

 sweat and swearing

involved in making 1 tiny flower sandal.

And on our early morning jaunt I put it on

to test the fit.

The button was too small and it was flung.

Unbeknownst to me.

Well of course,

that's what babies DO!!

So I wondered...do I bother with more?

But then the cuteness won out.

And the original was recovered.

Practical?

Nope.

Functional?

Definitely no way.

Off in under 2 sec.?

Yes man.

But silly, frilly and done.
