Messy Mittwoch: Our washi vase

Hello!  I've been desperately trying to catch up on housework after our trip (there is a HUGE pile of clothes waiting to be folded as I type this), but I hope to be back to blogging soon.  Meanwhile, here's one of my favourite corners of our currently messy house, the window...

Grateful Gatherings: What travelling teaches me

Hello!  We just spent a week or so in London and the internet in the hotel strangely didn't allow me to get into Blogger.  However, we've crossed back over to Belgium, so I'm just popping in for a rather late "Grateful Gatherings" post.It has been rather tiring travelling...

Monday Made: The cardboard fridge

Hello!  I've been wanting to make a cardboard kitchen for the big boy, but only got down to working on it the past week.  I've not figured out the kitchen counter yet, but we managed to find some kraft paper tape at the craft store last week, and I got down to making the...

Thinking Thursdays: Art for "We're Going on a Bear Hunt"

Meet Mr Bear.  We've been reading all about him in the past 2 weeks, in all forms, mainly in cuddly teddy bear tales (click here for the list of bear titles).  And last week, we did some art work to give him some landscapes to run through (I'm sorry if he appears blur in...
