Busy being busy

And again I am on this steamtrain heading towards the end of the year, it's no use fighting it so I am just going through the motions. Decorating J.'s school, making a gift for T. at kindergarten, shopping, filling shoes, trying to read all your blogs, knitting, going to the office, visiting a schoolmeeting & coming to the conclusion I just don't have the energy to do it all.
And so I just sit on the couch with a cup of tea & enjoy this season of fun, friendship, warmth & happy kids!


Happy monday!

Made snow

Our window is used by me to 'express the seasons' so to speak... In spring there was a branch with birds, in fall the spidersweb & now I made snow!
Some vintage doilies, starch & thread.

Just so you know













Apparently we are stuck in this rythm, monday & tuesday I am at home, wednesday, thursday & friday I work in an office and daddy stays at home on thursdays.
But this week, due to some boring stuff, I switched days, so today I worked and my sweetheart stayed at home.
Everybody got kicked out of balance by this! Little T. was pretty stubborn this morning when I was getting busy to get out of the door & on my way, he pointed out that daddy needed to go, not mommy... And J. wondered where I was all day when I came home.
Also my blog gets a bit off-balance by this big change in events this week ;)!
See you soon!

What a grey(t) day!

Oh my, just looking outside made me want to hide under the blankets! It's a grey autumn day here! Thankfully my superhero rang my doorbell & with a smile he presented me a parcel & a magazine!

Yay, thank you for making my day less grey Rosa Rood & Flow!

Fish

So yesterday I went fishing, I guess this one's a herring.

Recently I checked my Etsy favorites & discovered that one of my favorite shops was having an update that same evening! And so I helped Sinterklaas a bit :)!
While waiting for my package to arrive, I paid a long visit to her great blog & discovered her tutorials. Thank you resurrection fern for you great tutorials & inspiration!
Happy monday & happy november!
