Ending the Week, Thank Goodness!

Short update on my dad – they are keeping him in hospital one more day. They are waiting on the second operation to ensure that the artery they dealt with now is working fine. Everything is being dealt with in a timely manner and apparently dad is back to his usual humorous and loving self. My stepmom was sweet enough to send me a picture of him in his hospital bed with a smile on his face and the phone to his ear!

I love listening in on my kids… at naptime Trinity and Emanuel had to go potty… Emanuel wanted the fan on but NOT the light – to save electricipy… and Trinity was sure you can’t pee in the dark. So he explained to her how important it was to NOT turn it on and that he was fine in the dark (with the door open of course!). And it is an added bonus to realize that he actually UNDERSTANDS  that we need to conserve things like energy (do need to work on his pronunciation for electricity though!).

Emanuel gifted me with a rainbow on a rather cloudy day

Some time spent on workbooks and the concentration for schoolwork was out the window. I think starting with a clear and fresh week on Monday will make things much easier. I will have to buckle down and get my research done. I have fallen in love with my tiny wolf in red ridinghood’s hood… he has a tiny banquette and cherry pie in his basket.

Hard at work, and willingly for the most part

Which had me moving right onto my Samurai Cat… I haven’t determined a favourite Feltie yet… and after these still have a few more to go. I either have to buckle down and do some colour changes on two of them or get shopping. I am thinking once I finish one of each I may just start making some to gift away!

...and done!

I finished up a scrapbook page today as well – this was just a put the pictures on a pre done (by me) page… for Emanuel’s book.

Going to the Fort

I have continued my downsizing of the no longer useful and or necessary. One of those was a bit of a twinge to put up on Kijiji – the classic Winnie the Pooh wallpaper border I had bought for Emanuel’s corner of our room. It just never got put up or used in a craft project and with Echo being… well Echo… they just aren’t her. I figured 10.00 for 15 feet worth was a good price and maybe some other baby could enjoy the classic images. I got it from Target of all places!

I have yet to face the mountain of boy clothes I have to sift through to donate, Kijiji, Freecycle or toss… I did creep into the utility room where they are to sort out a bit when I was making room for the connecting up of our internet and phone… there are more containers than I remembered! I know I need to keep any little sweater vests for my cousin Veronika (in case she has a boy someday)… she is quite the fan.

My evening has been spent mainly working on Samurai Cat and the last of my fuzzy sock owls. I actually did a re-do on the cat’s head I was that unimpressed with my first attempt. I am down to the last few, really I am but then comes the fun part – making them for OTHERS … and photographing the ones I have.

A wolf in disguise

We think we may have an idea as to what is wrong with our printer – it MAY be as simple as the toner in the black being about out and just not registering as such. We DO have a spare cartridge so it is not the end of the world. I did manage to get some things printed with a decent quality.
But my day has been quiet and now I need to end the evening the same way. I hope to Skype with dad tomorrow and the kids are clamouring to do some more crafts… Maybe Gavin is ready for another stitch?

Taking the little ones on a walk

What a goof!
