Channelling Ray

While J was at school, I spent some time securing the furniture to the walls in her room…Alex was surprised to see the way I did it…but they’re so secure, they’re not going anywhere, so it’s all good…

Converted To Knitting Storage

In its previous life, this little table was a telephone stand – the telephone sat on top, pens and paper were in the drawer and telephone books were in the cabinet…I think it’s going to be home to my current knitting projects…we still have a lot of stuff to sort out, so that might change, but for now, that’s the plan!

The Other Method Of Transport…

Soft things go in garbage bags. This is definitely a lazy move!

Returns

Library books and DVDs are heading back so that they don’t get lost in the move!

Preferred Method Of Transport

We’ve been using this unique method of moving…I think we’ll have only about eight or ten boxes. Bonus of moving not very far!

Chocolates!!

These are divine…yummmmmm

Snow

We woke up this morning and the tree looked like this!!

And then we walked to school and it looked like this! (Someone is happy for the snow but also because it’s the last day of school)

A small person at home thought the snow was pretty amazing too!

And she got a very special, personalized blanket in the mail today from a very special friend of mine.

A Special Tree

J got this very cool tree in the advent calendar today. It’s cardboard and it has a pretty beaded garland and a gold star. The dish has a “magic” solution in it.

This is after four hours. J is going to love it when she gets home!

Treats!

Andrea came to see us and she brought us deliciousness!

Books…

All of the pictures I took today were of books…Huh?

Lullaby

Baby C and I go to the library most Fridays for baby time. The children’s librarian made up a lullaby for her baby and C loves it, but of course I can only ever remember the first verse. Today, she posted all of the verses so we can all sing the lullaby at home with our babies.

After School Treat

J’s favourite part is of course the marshamallows!

Connect Four

Or connect none. This game was a draw. J has discovered Connect Four and loves it. The grownups might be getting tired of it…but as soon as we sell this place, I’m going to storage and getting some other games our for her so that we have a selection!

Camp Blanket

A friend of mine from Pax Lodge saw my picture of J in her uniform and sent her some cool Rainbows stuff and some badges for her camp blanket. Her mom’s Rainbow group also sent her some pictures and a letter. J’s blanket has been around since I took her to camp and she got her first crests. If she decides she loves Guiding, I don’t know if this blanket will last past Guides…it’s small!

Mini Orchids

Because our apartment is for sale, there are flowers all over the place. It’s been a bit of a treat because we usually only have flowers for special occasions. And never in the bathrooms – there are these tiny orchids in our bathroom, some pretty orange flowers in J and C’s bathroom, a fall bouquet in the living room and a lantern flower plant beside the fire place. Sometimes there is even a bouquet in our bedroom.  I like these orchids the best…and because they’re potted they’ll stick around even after our place sells…at least until I accidently kill them!

Latte Art

It Sparkles

This dish is one of my Home Outfitters purchases…J and I love the sparkles!

For Sale

Uh? What? It’s Still September!

New Accessories

Changes are afoot at the Lyons’ Den…these will be making their first appearance on Sunday. Stay tuned!
