The cat has claimed it… Anya wanted a floor pouf like the ones I had made before, and I told her she had to wait until I had enough fabric scraps to fill it. Well, I had more than enough […]
Kids
Joepie Weed apparently attracts them rather well. The butterflies and the bees love this rather tall plant right now. Which is quite nice, since this little girl really like butterflies! We have been having a busy summer, so when we […]
Last Tuesday was Anya’s recital for dance. She was in a group of 3-5 year olds, so it couldn’t be something too structured. They were flower fairies, and they told the story of how the flower fairies rise with the […]

Is there anything kids like more than a tattoo?? Well, our little urchins seem particularly drawn to them, and are as happy as pigs in mud to get them. They also stand still for me taking their photograph so I […]
