A fun, and quick, project.

I spent this afternoon enjoying two boys napping, some time reading, and a quick decorating project.  I have been inspired lately by the lovely Heather to add to my evolving craft room.  I sort of got stuck a while back and even though it is a functional room, it wasn't quite decorated the way I would like.  So inspiration struck and I had a spare hour and this is what emerged.  Now I just need to find time to make the top one!  If you are interested I can pass along a short tutorial.  And then you can see how easy, easy these are.   I may just need to make some for Lukey's room....

Teaching him young...

The never ending pile of laundry.  So I am teaching Luke young.  He seems to be catching on.  Fold baby fold!

Friends

We have great friends in Victoria, Janis and Nathan, who actually will be coming to visit this coming Sunday!  I just saw on her blog a link to their latest accomplishment.  Nathan is a sculpture (and currently my Dad is working for him!) and it is always so amazing for us to see his latest sculpture.

If your interested here is the link:

And a wonderful picture of him with his daughter, Acacia.

Metal Stamping

This has been something that I have wanted to try out for a while.  It took a bit to gather the right tools, and metal stamps, but yesterday I gave it a go.  A lot of tries, a lot of whacks (still needs perfecting) and some major mistakes.  Thankfully though when it was time to try it for real, not on a piece of practice metal, it worked wonderfully.

More to come on this fun subject.  I need some more practice!
