Today was Trinity and my library program. We had a pretty good time – Trinity is rather shy and likes to just sit in my lap and look on from there but she did her swaying and smiling during songs and stories. There was one blot on the 30 min. though, one little boy was rather over the top. Now keep in mind this is Fun for ONES (ages 1- under 2). There was one little boy there who was only 10 months (cute little chubby cheeked thing) butt the rest were right around Trinity’s age. There was two little boys who were a bit wild, one whose mom was sitting next to me who was rather diligent about him NOT getting too out of hand. The other… well his mom sat there with this vacant smile on her face while her son ran amok. He smacked into or hit or something (I missed the event but saw the little darling crying) a little girl who was sitting across from us. The mom did not even get up! I don’t know that she even said sorry! Then he sat on the excited little boy when he had fallen over, the mom next to me got up to heave him off and then set her son right. He then bugged the mom who was crawling after her little boy and finally grabbed and drug over the happy little boy and SAT on him!! This got the mom off her tush and the librarian to ask her quietly (during the song) to leave! ACK! I just don’t understand, why didn’t she stop him? Why did she just sit there? He could have hurt someone.

So other than that little boy it was fun… they had a parachute though Trinity wanted just to watch and lots of lovely songs.

So today was Zander’s turn to head out with Daddy… they went out to Walmart, Staples and the post office and a bank or two. He was a real sweetheart and asked that they bring home a slurpee to share! So all 3 boys got a lovely treat to end their day with!

Gavin has started his own major bead project – his name! Slow going as he is often distracted but he is determined to do his whole name.

Working on His Name (Gavin)

I am quite happy with how my fall tree turned out. I plan on doing up some more leaves and acorns to put around the top of the clay pot. I want to pick up ANOTHER clay pot and do a winter tree with snowflakes… I misjudged how big this pot is and didn’t pick one up at Dollarama today thinking they were all just too big. The boys are very impressed by our fall tree and only managed to tip it over once today.

I am very excited – Chibi Bunny and Love are finally up for sale… I am hoping our freebies will be fixed tonight and a new freebie section added – freebies for beginners! So be sure to check them out – just click PATTERNS at the top of this page! I accept Paypal and as always am open for commission! Right now I am working on a cupcake… I am going to have my first go at using beads in one of our designs. It is pretty close to life sized so a bit slow going but I am excited to see how it looks finished.

Today I sold another one of my Kijiji adds. I finally got rid of the Gap footless sleeper that I had listed since September. I finally had to relist everything – which has the advantage of moving them to the front of the pages but while people are looking – still no more sales.

Tonight I have ornaments to sort and presents to wrap… I am planning on putting up the tree this Saturday so I want to get the bulk of the gifts done to go under since we put the play-yard around it as a safety measure. I got the boys to all sign a piece of paper I am going to copy to put in our cards and of course stitching to do as always! Finishing items is weighing heavily on my mind right now!

What an Arm Full! (Gavin missing)
