bike about

we had a great bike about today...which is my new term for when you know you gotta get the kids in the car, go send some mail, go to the bank, get loads of groceries, and play at the park...but normally we get in the car to do this...but not today...we biked it...it was great! too bad i dont have any pics of the cute littles in the bike trailer...all snuggly and dry while mamas legs burned up that hill to get to union street, which leads to the park...oh my!

wed, again!

yay for wednesdays! we love going to hands on craft and being surprised by the craft activity and enjoying an hour or so of fun creative energy. Its really different than crafting at home. It seems like it would be the same...but instead of creating the concept for my kids, then setting up and cleaning up...we get to just show up and its all ready to go! So nice. And i love all of the cute ideas Mia comes up with, shes so inspirational and whimsical...very elvin! So this week we made necklaces with found objects and some felt heart cut outs. cute...easy...india mostly tries to color on herself or eat things. good fun. then after we went on a short walk through the redwoods...got enchanted by a shower of rain and spied teeny tiny mushrooms. it was a great morning!

bulking up

Happy Imbolc! I dont really care if winter stays for another month or so, or if Spring comes early. I do care, however, that its about that time to start mapping out the summer festival circuit...and now that my youngest tiny will be 2 this summer...the face of our summer touring and travel has significantly changed. I think it will be easier now that they can both dance and run around...thank goodness I have that double stroller! (i love you BOB)
Our little family is on a bit of a routine now that Scarlett is attending gymnastics, ballet and fairy school. While some things are the same, having to be someplace at a specific time is really different for us. So far so good...and I am diligently working on the website...bulking up supplies and products for the spring/summer launch. I also seem to have many side art projects going on, which is great for me as long as i can remember to take some time out for a walk or workout. Yoga in the livingroom usually means i get a knee in my back while my hair is being raked with a fork. good fun. Fiber batt workshop went well last night. see:
