Oh friends, I’ve missed you. It has been a weird kind of busy/angsty around here that I’ll just file under “Spring Fever” and have done with it. I’m hoping now that it is May we can all accept that it is spring already and have no more fevery flibbertyjibbetness around here (and no more middle of the night business from a certain person. But I’m afraid there is always a bit of the flibbertyjibbet (sp?) in me, so I make no promises.
I’ve been missing out on my bloglines lately too, and now that I’m catching up– WOW, there are so many great tutorials, cute articles of clothing and other goodies out there. I’ve recently fallen into the trap of starting more than 2 craft projects at once which means I get overwhelmed and nothing gets done so I sit here not crafting and not blogging, feeling wretched. Sadly seeing all this cuteness popping up all over makes me all the more inspired to take on even more projects. But I must be strong.
What I have been doing since we last met
*Baking bread- I gave in and got a pizza stone and container so I could try my hand at the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. It was both good looking and pretty delicious, though my crust could use some work
*Knitting- HMB and I have been attending wonderful classes put on by the SF Waldorf School since she was 6 months old. Now we are in a *very* clever craft class that allows the moms to craft while the toddlers cruise around and play. There is singing and a warm snack too. I can’t tell you what a bright spot this is in our week! We’ve already made a crocheted market bag, and now I’m working on these
One down, one to go!
*Cooking, again and more and always.
*Re-reading Anne of Green Gables, and realizing how woefully miscast Meagan Followes and that guy who played Gilbert Blythe really were, as much as I enjoyed the CBC series when I was younger.
*Failing miserably at spring cleaning! Though you know, I have gotten into the habit of making the bed every day and *really* cleaning out the fridge every grocery day. So that’s something. But the craft room is taunting me with its clutter and disorganization, as ever.
Anyway, that’s about all here. I’ll try to pop in again before then but if I don’t–HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! to all of you amazing, inspiring moms out there– I don’t know how you guys do it, crafting like crazy, cooking delicious food, looking great and raising amazing children too. I’m sort of hanging on by my fingernails most of the time, so I salute all of you out there making it happen!
