This morning, Chris took the boys walking in woods in a town nearby. (they took the express train, but it's the next stop) It let me around 3 hours for myself. But are you surprised if I tell you that these hours flew by ?!? I cleaned & washed a bit, had a load of laundry washed & hung to dry, I surfed a lot, I sewed too. Bean Bags for my little ones. I meant to make them for a little while, and I finally started making some. Since I took these photos I made purple ones, and hope to make lots of other colors tomorrow. I filled them with lenses, split peas, rice & Cannellini beans (white beans).
They were a huge hit & I was oh so happy & proud about that !
Also for my boys, and inspired by The Creative Family book (by Amanda Soule), I made lacing cards with bits of cardboard & pencils & a puncher. Huge huge hit too, specially with U, who was so focused while making them. Now I wonder if they ever worked on some at school.
Two days ago I received a gorgeous print I had ordered @ Lillalotta, made by Anna. I framed it right away, here is a pic of it. The photo doesn't give justice so have a look at her shop if you want a closer look.
Chris cooked for a good while in the afternoon. (we plan meals for approx. 4 days) Just to prove you that the organic products we buy are no doubt chemical free ... when he was washing the salad, look who he found ... a little baby slug !
It's 06pm as I'm typing & I'm going to cut my 3 men's hair. (I'll have to go to the hairdresser's this week, it'd been a month & a half ! eeek) I hope you all had a nice weekend. It's been grey all morning & the sun made an apparition in the middle of the afternoon. It's predicted to get sunnier & warmer these next few days. I clearly hope so ! Wishing the same !
