A mostly pup thursday.

My husband got tagged for an all-nighter at work today...which usually means us too, here at home. The beginning of the day was kinda sluggish...for me, anyway. Luna was all up and at'em from the beginning. We were hide and seeking, block building and fussing food eating (she wanted eggs but then wouldnt eat them). After that I tried diving deeper into EFMP enrollment but soon realized, I have no idea what I am doing with it. After a respite of cleaning house, came the afternoon starting with a mental health appointment (2 in one week! I probably will be out of sorts for a while!). Mean while Luna moved on to legos and making and driving her trains on tracks with and without her figurine pups. I started crafting my project and then suddenly I had a pup who wanted to play fetch with me. Luna turned pup for a few rounds of frisbee then decide a pirate pup then pirate person was more fun so we found and buried treasure sailing on the pirate ship (her daddy's chair) and going on picnics. Lucky me, fake picknics led to real food of ramon and hot dogs with the big screen for entertainment, so I could get more crafting done. The canvas string art made was all destringed (sky's needed a new canvas-i made one with white fabric-completely), so Luna wanted to color them in with her crayons, dot-to-dot markers and colored pencils. She enjoyed hiding Marshal behind his color of red! At the end of the day, Luna misplaced her Rubble stuffed animal and went to bed without him (to her dismay). That pup hides well, last time it took a month before I found him in my dresser drawer!

Friday rains

Today seemed to go by quick. We had screen time, all building blocks out, all pup toys out...and then it rained. First came the hyper active make believe pup play, her blanket and screens dragged in almost every room of the house for sleepy or sick or hiding pups. As the day progressed she popped in and out of her room with various block toys and pup figurines when meals were requested or acknowledged. Towards the beginning of the afternoon she settled right outdoor with her stuffed animal pups, her kindle and a umbrella for some shade from the sun. The umbrella came in handy when it started to poor come mid afternoon and after singing and dancing in the rain under the umbrella, her pups went swimming in the "pool." Mean while I had a pounding headache so I was taking it easy with low lights, book reading and easy crafting and cleaning. I also got to try out my new tea kettle thing (it was a magnetic tea fuser thing). My other half came home and as he was gone on that all nig

Gemstones have been around for a looooong time! They have been a fabric of our history (both literally and figuratively) since man understood how to create things. While synthetics didn't seem to be developed or understood until the 20th century or so, people have been mining and wearing for life and death. Gemstones come in all different colors and have been divided for such purposes as their usefulness and appearance. 1812 Fredrick Mohs created a standard of 10 minerals to be the poster children for understanding the hardness of all minerals. Geology.com clued me into some facts!  Diamonds: Carbon atoms covalent bonded, make sturdy and durable, and versatile gemstone that has been around for many moons and hopefully be around for many more. The natural gemstone are formed underneath the earth's surface (high temps and pressure of the mantel layer) and have been found at the surface by surviving volcano eruptions! Sapphires and Rubies: made from the mineral corundum and get th

Crafting: Weaving

Image
So I want to produce one craft a week (I feel like I am biting off more then I can chew, here, actually). I figured this way my stop and go love/hate relationship and half-finished and just started projects that I am famous for in my house, can all be increased! haha, well, hopefully, the projects will be completed (especially since it will give me something to write about). Today's post: weaving! So I got a weaving kit at some point at the beginning of our stay in NC and realized while i enjoyed the act of weaving and  (I really like using them as inner layers for stuff), the lap loom I had, was, well, lap-sized, so it was small with slits for the warp (the vertical material along with the frame) the were evenly spaced but a good 24 of them notched together. I had trouble keeping my warp on the notches, to begin with but it all felt so...claustrophobic-ly small! Once I found ways to use existing furniture that the shape I wanted to weave (it was usually bigger), I quickly ditched
