we had thought about painting it red, then we found a beautiful black with an ochre base, so black the house will be, with off white around the windows!
bit by bit we will paint it as it takes so much time to do and a lot of money.
the blackboard we painted on the wall was such a good idea. it works so well (especially for those reminders) and is a lot of fun for the kids. i'd paint a wall like this anytime again!
have a wonderful weekend to you all.
thank you for all your well wishes for the little man. he is feeling better after having broncilitis. i guess it all builds up his immune and hopefully will only make him stronger.
in the mail last week we received this beautiful drawing from my niece, i love how kids drawings are so free. (the kite was made by oki at school)
i started to draw again...it has been a long time and i find it hard to start, i need some of that child freedom and not worry about it so much.
in the post too was this gorgeous pot holder from hanna in finland, i was lucky enough to have my name drawn from the hat by V. Thank you Hanna and V.... i love it.
i think i need to write more letters... i miss it and so loved getting a letter with this gift from finland.
anyone want to write a letter?
this is great...mysterious letters, found via shannon... (thank you :)
we have a new chair on loan from a lovely friend. if i saw this in a shop i would not get it as i don't seem to buy many extras like this for my kids when they are babies as they grow so fast, but i have to say this chair is getting a work out.
he loves it!
the summer school holidays are well and truly over and m & o are back at school, O now 5 days and feeling very grown up. the house is quiet for 6 hours and now little A has only me to look at. i think he wonders where they are!
i miss the non rushed mornings, the lazy breakfasts' and making up things for them to do each day. and in saying that i am enjoying the quietness for those hours (thats until A starts crawling etc...) :)
i like uguisu store found via fine little day
