• So the last hour or so I have dedicated to updating Ean's baby book entries and wrote for the first time in new little ones book. Even did a little research about birth stones and flowers. I like that sort of thing. Someday when our house/family is full I hope to have a mother ring/necklace... and I know it will at least have an aquamarine and an emerald! Off to a good start there I think. As far as the flowers go, I am starting to get an idea of individual art pieces with names/facts/something and each child's flower to be hung in their room or a symbolic bouquet of my children. Lilies of the valley for May (which always remind me of my mum's mum, because they are her favorite) and Daffodils (which I have always loved and even more since visiting England in the spring of 2007 and the countryside was covered in them!) for March. So March and May. Know of any good facts monthly features or whatnot to get more creative juices flowing??
• My month long art kick seems to be slowing down. I have a few more ideas that I hope to see come to fruition, and a couple watercolor washes that crave either Bible verses, motivational words or some crazy ink art... but my pile for the month consists of ten or fifteen large and small works... So January was my crazy, cotton potholder month and February has been my cranking out art month. Both have refreshed me and helped get some of my pent up art/color ideas out and opened up new spaces in my brain for whatever comes next...
What should it be?
• I love art. beauty. children. rocks. my husband. ice cream. walking. clothes. ideas. symbolism. jesus. singing. lists. yarn. giving. plants. flowers. books...
• Thinking of which. Just finished "Peter and the Starcatchers" series by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson... and going into withdrawal. No other books currently begun and little desire to read anything else. Those books were so dang fun! The backstory to the character we know as Peter Pan. Fun stuff. I highly recommend!
• Pregnancy pillow - Most definitely NOT the waste of space and money I thought it would be! I have slept so much better since getting it a couple weeks ago. If you're pregnant or ever plan on being so... invest!
• Gluten free living is getting easier. Thankfully! I DO miss bread though. and pasta. But love the fact that I eat a lot more fruits and vegetables with those things gone... so all in all, an upgrade in my healthy eating habits! Who doesn't need a little help with that now and then?! Now it's off dairy again it looks like. No more Reese's ice cream for me *sad face*
• But seriously... What should I read next? What should I knit next? What should I paint next? What do I need to do next? I am restless!
Do you ever get that way? In between projects and the craziness of life it feels like things stop/slow down for a minute and you're left blinking and wondering what in the world has been happening for the last year (or five) and taking as many deep breaths as you can for the months and years ahead before the next lull....
Do two quiet days count as a lull.... or is this just the weekend speaking?
Sleepy time. Sorry for wasting your time. But not really, because I'm publishing. You can't have the ten minutes back you gave to reading this. Weird.
