We had a pleasantly busy weekend, filled with all kinds of the good stuff: walks in the woods, a trip to the library, lunch out, the aquarium with friends. And, perhaps most importantly, some solid pajama time at home. I did get in some good crafty time as well, but didn't get anything finished in time to get decent day-lit photos.
A few other things:
- I am loving the art from Amy Blackwell, most especially this. I know that the "no more room for art" discussion is ongoing on this blog. It is perhaps second in frequency only to "I eat too many cupcakes and like it a lot" as a favorite topic. But... I just so happen to be hatching a plan to address this problem and thus be able to buy more art. More on that later this week.
- If you or yours are at all inclined towards the enjoyment of birds, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology website is a virtual smorgasbord of birding fun. We just so happened to have a strong need to know the approximate size of cardinal eggs around nine o' clock this morning and found that information and much, much more here. An awesome resource for teachers as well as parents and of course, nerds like myself.
- I keep stumbling upon the pattern for the Village Frock (from the talent behind Sugar City Journal) but it always seems to be sold out. I checked again this evening and scored; in stock and now on it's way to me! Of course, it only goes up to size six and since I normally avoid garment sewing like the plague, Mariam may well be six years old before I actually get the thing stitched up. She's on the small side for her age though, so I think we'll be good...
