Spring seeds

We've been collecting toilet and paper towel rolls for a few months now...
Tomorrow we have an afternoon project to do with our friends from the neighbourhood... We'll be choosing veggies and flowers to plant ...

Do you think 70 seedlings will be sufficient ?

What are you up to this week?

Have a lovely Tuesday

A House, a Home...

A House...A home...yeah, we finally got the paints out...I was having withdrawl symtoms, not having had painted anything since before Christmas.
I made the girls wear their paint shirts and then they got messy!
It always starts off with a paint brush carefully mixing 2 colours and ends up with purple,browns,reds from their fingertips to their elbows...They had fun...and I got to play with the potato stamps I made for them(which they hardly touched).
Until tomorrow...oh...it already is tomorrow...

Home sweet home...

This is what I made this morning for our Blog... and my Blueshinebaby Etsy Store.

Today I taught my girls how to sew...Ashley is 4 and will be turning 5 in a few months has been asking if one day could I show her.

SO...I took a trip to our local craft store and picked up colours which the girls both loved and a couple of embroidery hoops for them and one little one for me.

Our youngest, Jordan, kept looping the thread around the hoop...so I spent the majority of time back-tracking through the linen with her needle(she's only little-I kept telling myself)

Ashley seemed to get the hang of it...and said she loved sewing. It's so up her alley...something she can concentrate on for more than an hour, and MUCH healthier than TV.

Until I have my studio back up and working...which may be a while taking into consideration the last time I looked at my husbands renovations downstairs... lol....I will be sewing and sketching...

Have a wonderful day and to all my fellow Canadians...a wonderful Family Day tomorrow!

Until then...
