how i felt about food this weekend

a very moveable feast,

fashioned during our car-time to toronto this weekend...i packed a picnic basket of felt scraps, beads, embroidery floss and needles and got cooking...

for the tea table,

a hearty entree,

with sauce and cheese,

and a light luncheon.

very light indeed!

this felt food is destined for esthers' play kitchen, but man, i am going to enjoy it first!

more to come!

i may promote my more successful templates on http://etsy.com/

for interested diners.

why immunity needs an entire system...

signs

now that he is such a crawler, the young fellow has been getting into all kinds of mischief.

in order to guide her brother, esther suggested a series of visual aids.

This one is a very good idea,

who knew a sign would be required...?......and my personal favourite...

works like a charm.

our little friend thomas suggested "no babies touching the hot teapot",

so i'd better get cracking with the scotch tape and markers...

tea party this afternoon!

bears + dragons+ princesses

footsies

i finally completed/passed my practical exam for reflexology qualifictions!

toenails, anyone?

montreal-eh

no photos this time,but man, i sure wish i had some...david dragged us to montreal yesterday, and i by no means wanted to go. it is pop-montreal weekend, a music event full of super hipsters and cooler-than-thou events.

++++++++++

me?

tired, and responsible for two crazy little time-bombs is this sea of smoothness? not-so-much.

++++++++++++

well.

not to allow david an i-told-you-so, i am still ultra tired, but we ended up having a really fun time, attending ther kelp records bar-bq, (esther and david playing tambourine for angela desveaux' set...photo please),

++++++++

staying at a very modest two star bed and breakfast (another photo? i invite you to imagine the ball-capped breakfast-monitor entering the room barking "ne touche pas ca, monsier!" to the other lone breakfaster as a costo muffin whirred illegally in the shabby microwave....)

+++++++++++

making it to the biodome (an ecosystem zoo near the olympic stadium) and back again on the last drops of hydraulic effort available to our cars' leaking steering system. (picture a really cheesed-off golden marmoset)

+++++++++++

oh, man, were those kids great. each of them, and together. they seemed to have a really fabulous time, and were so cheerful and fun!

the kids and i took the train back home to ottawa this evening, arriving way post bed time, (david will be driving home with band-mates after their show) and not one rotten moment.

polite and lovely.

(another missed photo-op.)

oh, esther's summary of the trip was thus...

"why do so many people here speak the bo-ju language?"

that's french, dear.

bonjour a tous.

handy crafts

oh, no! the paw-parazzi!more crafter-noon fun as edgar snoozes...
