Halloween
Posted in home, tagged Halloween 2009 on November 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Highlight of Halloween: wearing Macy in her sling as I gave out treats. The trick or treaters heard this mysterious cry coming from my hip but did not understand my costume.
This is the first year Julia stuck her hands in the pumpkin and helped me scoop out the guts. It was “too gross” before.

Posted in home, tagged halloween, playwriting on October 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
If I could photograph and share with you all the little scenes of my new play, I would.
Because…you should know I am thinking of a new one and I almost ready to put it on the page
and tonight when I look at the blog and read, “observations of creative living and teaching”
I do want to [...]
some days
Posted in home on October 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Some days all I get done is:
* one load of laundry (the baby’s , not mine).
* reading two articles for school
* one half-hour session of yoga (that made me a little nauseated)
* witnessing the babe stretch, groan, gurgle, poop
and then I get Dave’s late afternoon message that he is coming home, and I know I [...]
phones

We didn’t buy cellphones until I was 8 months pregnant. We both carried a fear that my water would break in the middle of some little thrift or yarn shop and we wouldn’t be able to reach each other. Our phones are made of recycled coke cans and we pay by the month and we [...]

Tonight we gather to eat pumpkin burgers and salad and drink a bit of juice.
The little ones dress in their costumes of pumpkin and lion,
the adults fill their travel mugs with fresh coffee
and meet the spooks at the zoo!
baby wool

Macy is NOT allergic to wool. In fact, she loves it! She’s a cloth diapered girl, so wool longies are a necessity around here. I used the Sheepy Pant pattern for the following scrappies. The pants are made out of left-over wool scraps from other knitting projects. Since reading about the horrific way some wool [...]
Cats and Babes.
Posted in home, tagged cat paintings, cats and newborns on October 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The cats mostly ignore Macy. Except for God(zillah) Candysugar, she acts all protective and a little hissy when strangers hold her.
Speaking of Zillah, look what I found at the thrift store the day I went into labour. Someone obviously snuck into our house and painted a portrait of our cat. I gasped when I saw [...]

Look what Gemma made for baby! (I made the hat in the first pic, it matches the cocoon adorably!
sunday morning
Posted in home, tagged past due date, pregnancy 40 weeks on September 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
You never know when a simple comment is going to change someone’s life. On Friday night at Julia’s movie theatre birthday party (I didn’t trust I could do a home party at 40 weeks pregnant.) a woman came up to me and said “I want to look like you.” Bless her for thinking it, and [...]
