:: our dragon bread. i am glad i kept this on our list of things to do, even if it is a month after. we were able to revisit the story of St. Michael. allowing me to once again refocus and draw from my inner strength. oh, i tell you, my days go by so fast and my nights, my nights are so wakeful. i am trying my best to make sure my little guy gets all that he needs to grow and get back on track.
:: halloween came somewhat quick for me this year, so it is nice to still be celebrating through the weekend. and of course, here are some pictures of my superhero, pink power ranger, police girl. she works at night to fight the bad guys. power rangers? i do not know, we do not watch them, but she knows about them and as i said, this request was very specific. we are already talking about next year's costume, which she wants to design herself. someone at school made an astronaut outfit and she became more interested in making a costume. and vince was bundled up in his sling, so we have yet to snap a picture of him in his outfit. it's coming though. and all that candy. we are so lucky that a dentist is collecting candy to send to our troops. i also came across an idea to use the candy to decorate a gingerbread house. does all the candy drive you nuts too?
:: getting our jack-o-lanterns ready for halloween. my little one designed and helped carve her moon pumpkin and i scooped out all the seeds. we are saving some pumpkin seeds for next year, in hopes to growing some pumpkins. we are still wondering where in our small yard the pumpkin patch will be, but i'm sure we could make it work. the other pumpkin seeds, we'll be eating. no roasting here though, my little one enjoys them raw. we made some quinoa apple muffins and some cinnamon raisin flaxseed muffins. the kitchen smelled wonderful, but i'll need to modify the recipes to suit our taste buds. my little one is really looking forward to dressing up tonight. happy halloween!!
:: made with some air drying clay. maybe when i fire up my kiln, i'll make a few for the shop. oh, the list of projects and ideas that i would like to create with clay has been on hold for years. there is something so relaxing and soothing about working with clay.
:: gather your supplies. all you need is a jar, sequin stars and moons, tissue paper, and decoupage glue. we worked in sections as the glue can dry quickly. paint glue onto the first section of the jar. apply your sequin stars and moons. then cover with tissue paper while the glue is wet, smoothing out any air bubbles.
:: after the jar is covered, you will want to add another layer or two of tissue paper. lightly brush a layer of decoupage glue over each layer of tissue paper.
:: great winds to put our kite up. a milkweed wand found in the open field. their seeds were packed inside like a pine cone. the soft, fuzzy silk filaments are so lovely to the touch. the seeds were gradually blowing out on our travels back to the car.
