The Spirit of a Week

So far, our week has been filled with lots of creating.  For fun, our bellies, and birthdays (with more birthday creations to come if we can squeeze it in...at the very least cake!)


Clay. It was fun while it lasted. Then we had to wash the girls, the horses, the table, the chairs, the floor, the sink...need I go on?


Mathea sewing Mairi a costume...impressive patience by both.


Mathea's masterpiece, a butterfly for all seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter).


Painting linseed oil on the great trucks Papa Doug made, the dog bowl stand too.


Homemade bread, whole wheat oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, chili...and veggies, which obviously were not homegrown this time of year, but pretty, and what the girls had for dinner.


Birthday garland, crown, and gift bag, all reuseable for many years, inspired by "the creative family: How to Encourage Imagination and Nurture Family Connections" by Amanda Blake Soule, http://www.soulemama.com/.  The fabric for the bag was a thrilling find at Goodwill, a beautiful linen with sparkly butterflies and flowers. Perfect. Both girls helped with the sewing of the crown, hence the perfectly imperfect embroidery.


Super Mathea...disappearing and reappearing the "horse chicken".  JR asked for a duck-goat, but apparently those are on back order.


Priceless.

Where in the world is Mairi?
