I don’t have it yet, but I’m trying to cultivate an eye for photography. I want to take better pictures. Part of that will come with learning my camera better, which I am trying to do, but part of it is in learning composition and how to see what could make a good picture. I … Continue reading
I have decided to adopt a word for the year. I haven’t done this before because my resolutions didn’t really fit under a word theme. However, this year, everything I want to do falls under the word learn. I have so many things I want to learn and I haven’t really been intentional about learning … Continue reading
We’ve done advent calendars with activities or treats before, but this year we are doing one with activities and treats each day for C1. We are using the advent calendar that I made years ago – and you can tell my sewing skills have improved since I made it – but I just finished adding … Continue reading
Like many parents, I am faced each week with a pile of art that is sent home from school and deciding what goes in the trash, what gets displayed and what gets saved. It is fun looking at what the boy brings home, but my fridge gets crowded, so I needed another solution. Inspired by … Continue reading
It’s all kid crafts all the time around here right now, but it keeps us busy, and all of my crafts are both unfinished and intended for Christmas presents, so I can’t show them off, yet. We went to a friend’s house Saturday to help her extend some curtains (thank goodness they turned out okay) … Continue reading
Even on weekends when we have stuff going on, I have to have activities for C1 to keep him busy. I didn’t really plan ahead for the two activities we did this weekend, they just sort of happened thanks to the checkout area of JoAnns and the newspaper arriving with toy catalogs. I bought fabric … Continue reading
I made Carson a sweater for Rhinebeck, and then it was entirely too warm for him to actually wear it. Mary-Heather did take some pictures at our Rhinebeck house of him in it, but then I lost my camera (boo). The weekend after we got home, I was finally able to get some pictures of … Continue reading
I’m generally terrible at these projects, but I’m going to attempt the November Fat Mum Slim photo a day project. You can see it on her Facebook page. Today’s prompt was colour, and while I’ve photographed this fiber/yarn before, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw it. I’m also playing with … Continue reading
I went back and forth for a long time trying to decide what Carson would be for Halloween. At first, C1 wanted to be Batman, so C2 would be Robin, but C1 fell in love with the orange ninja turtle costume (Michelangelo) at the store, so that went out the window. It was his first … Continue reading
We did quite a bit of Halloween crafting this year, so I thought I’d post it before the holiday escapes us tomorrow. The kid was all about carving a pumpkin this year. I don’t really remember carving pumpkins, and this was definitely the first time I carved one in my adult life. I had no … Continue reading
