Ahhh... Mom day!

Today was my Christmas Spa day. I can't think of anything more wonderful that spending a morning at the spa, being pampered overlooking the ocean while is snows!

Then in the afternoon, I got to do my second most favourite thing- a fun maternity photoshoot! I think the best thing about doing a maternity photoshoot is that always leads to a wee little baby shoot as well-





























Here's mom Rhonda and big sister Aleesha

and baby!

















Now I have to get sewing for this baby ASAP!

I love sewing!

I'm loving my sewing machine SO much!!! I've been working through quite a few more projects- it's been wonderful!

I had a great grown up day yesterday. I got up pretty early, packed up Avari and went to visit Rhonda, who is coming up to being due with Aleesha new baby sibling! Avari loves Aleesha so much, she talks about her all day. Both girls actually took a nap at the same time and so we got a nice chat in. I had such a wonderful time. In the evening, we had a goodbye party for Tara and went bowling which I haven't done in SO long! All in all, it was a great day and I hope to plan more like it in the future

Few fun things..

Here is the first super fun sewing project I've had! Love it!!! Want one of my own- unfortunately, it's going to someone special!















It's so top secret, I can't even tell you what it is!

This is going to be a very fun project- a fairy dress in fact! Can't wait to start working on it as soon as I get the right sized needles and beads- very fluffy fun indeed!
















Yesterday I learned how to do some origami- yippee! I had so much fun that I'm really interested in doing more papercraft- they had an example of a fun papercraft mural for kids, and I'd love to do that with Avari

A New Week = New Fun!

I finally finished Kevin's Gloves!! Yippee!!! I'm trying to convince him to let me felt them, because they are a touch big (my gauge must have been off) but he won't give them back- but I am loving them. I panicked after the first one and ordered an extra skein of Barrett, but it turns out that i didn't need it- so now I need a new project for that skein

Here's a picture of them almost finished













Here's how my ice queen is going so far- I'm about 2/3rds done- so I should get it done by the end of the month! The picture doesn't do it justice at all- it is gorgeous!










I finished handspinning my Morgan colourway - what to make- any ideas!?!?!








I've volunteered to make some finger puppet templates for the Mom's Cafe for Next Wednesday- I started off thinking that I should make some really blank canvasses for the kids to work with, but then I changed my mind-









so, I've started making some really fun ones- I have one that is obviously a bird, bee and bear- but the kids can put the faces on them and decorate them however they'd like to - so much fun!!

and finally today- something that I can sort of share, but can't totally because it's a BIG SECRET! But I'm very, very excited - Here's a sneak peek!

What goes well with ephemere?

Obviously my new super healthy lifestyle cookbook! I know I have mentioned my new Ani's Raw Food Kitchen cookbook, and I can't stop flipping through it!

The only problem? How do you get ready to make a complete overhaul in health? How do you go about starting to make all new recipes and new grocery shopping and everything like that? Hmmmmmmmmmmm...

I must start researching this!!!

Wine in Tetrapaks...

hmmm.... It has been forever since I've been inside the BC Liquor Store- and we happened upon a couple of french companies who put their wine in tetrapak. No joke! The same size as a bottle, but tetrapak- this really blew my mind! I had to look it up when we came home.

French Rabbit Wines

I was marveling at Avari's ability to go from one activity to another with no focus on anything. Well where did she get that from I wonder?

I currently have the following projects on needle.

-Ice Queen - doing about 3-4 rows at a time
-Pinwheel Sweater - getting there, but sllooowwww going
-Just finished spinning my Morgan roving this evening
-Just finished Kevin's gloves this evening
-my second Beemerknits Redmond Sock
-a neck warmer scarf that I have frogged a zillion times, but I'm determined to figure out the pattern
-Just started Matt's Hat tonight

I've planned out 100 sewing patterns too...
