Sorry for the lack of updates, my parents just left (my mom was here since last Tuesday) I had so much fun with her, we crafted a lot together. See :
short curtains for the kitchen
cushion covers made from napkins
What else to add ? P has a cold, which isn't too surprising as the weather is a bit weirdo. It's either windy/rainy/sunny/mild/chill/cold ... it's hard to be dressed the appropriate way ! I hope it won't be nothing more than a simple cold.
I'm currently reading three books at the same time, which, for me, is a record. None of them are novels. One talks about simplifying, being organized & making lists ... Another one is about "lessness" (less is more/better). The last one is about happiness & was written by a French scientist who's been a Buddhist monk for 35 years now. (not sure it's this book, but it is)
So, I've been working on having less things & better quality things. For instance, I'm getting rid of anything plastic in the boys' cups/plates etc & I plan to sell some of our books. Or to give them. Good start. But it's going to be long.
OK, enough for today. It's almost bathtime for the boys. I hope you had a nice middle of the week. Btw, thanks for letting me know your screen resolutions. Apparently, nobody has the same one, so it's going to be tricky. Sending you all big hugs XOXOX

Hi Sonia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for calling by the other day. The weather is very changeable here too.
It's a good idea to take stock every now and then and weed out all the unnecessary things in life. I've done it many times and have never regretted getting rid of anything. Hope P gets better soon :)
Hi Sonia! Glad you had such a nice and productive time with your mom. The blue pillow cover is stunning! I think the less is more concept is a good one! I prefer a few really nice things to lots of ordinary things. :) Thanks for the April Fish explanation. Reminds me of when people stick a "kick me" sign on someone's back. (((Hugz)))
ReplyDeletegosh, three books at once. That's a luxury I wish I had!
ReplyDeletesounds like you have had a nice and busy time with your Mum :O)
enjoy the rest of the week. oh, and it's brigth and sunny here today, still a bit chilly in the wind, but on the whole very pleasant. My mum just popped round and said we might have snow at the weekend! I hope it's a late April fool's joke!!!!
