...recipe for the colouring solution. I melted parafin wax which Emeraude used a shishkabob stick to draw with on some eggs, we dipped a couple into it (just the ends) and also just drizzled the wax randomly on others. Lots of fun, they look great, just need to pick up some inexpensive baskets from [Read more]
This week seems to be flying by faster than I can process. I promised the EDC photos that I have not even had a chance to look through yet *eesh*, Tomorrow I have an appointment with Dave (from the EDC) to work on my cover letter for Second Story Press and I had hoped to be much [Read more]
Well, it’s been quite a bit of work but we are finally done! Yesterday Emeraude & I cut a ‘door’ into the pinata & filled it with the goodies bags we had made for her friends. We then taped the door shut and papier maché’d over that so it would be smooth for [Read more]

So far radishes seem to be the fatest growing by far, there are also some broccoli coming up as well as some peas. [Read more]
Emeraude has become quite fond lately, of striking a pose as she likes then to immediately have me show her the photos and see what feeling so fun looks like. I wanted to post these because sometimes, I can be having a tough day and, if Lloyd is at school and Emeraude is napping, I can [Read more]
I realized it had been a few weeks since Emeraude had painted and thought this morning’s cold weather and my limited physical energy were great reasons to pull out the paints. We started out with the acrlic paints, brushes, a toothbrush and a straw… I wanted to show Emeraude that [Read more]
