Here’s something a little different… I’ve never done a custom painting of a house before.

It’s always nice to get back to painting when I haven’t done it for a while. Now I feel all warmed up , I don’t want to stop!

Today is our 2 year anniversary of moving to P.E.I. It still doesn’t quite feel real, like I am going to wake up at any moment and find myself  back in Vancouver.

Wax Paper Leaf Book

We went for a “nature walk” the other day. We came home with such a lovely collection of leaves I wanted to somehow extend their lifespan. I remember having a wonderful afternoon with my mom when I was about Sosi’s age, pressing leaves between wax paper.  I’ve always had it in the back of mind as something I wanted to do with my kids.

While I was busy ironing the pages, I handed Sosi the much coveted Sharpie marker and asked that she could decorate the finished pages. I was so happy to see that she automatically drew faces of the leaves. I was planning for us to look up all the different types of leaves and label them all. I like her idea much better.

Hello, again

hello-again

Hello, again. I’m back with a new site and a whole new appreciation for blogging! I have missed this as a place a whole lot over the past few months. It feels good to leave that old site behind me and to start fresh.

I have big plans for this little space. Mia and I are still planning a project together, but this place will be more for me to talk about things I am working on and what is inspiring me. I hope you’ll stick around, I’ve missed you!
