crafts. haircuts. rings. stitches. unrelated.

That is an award-winning title right there. Goodness, this blog is so random!

I was talking to a friend recently about the lack of diy-ing going on in my life right now. There are days I want so badly to start a project – and finish it. There was a time not that long ago that this blog was full of crafty ideas. I don’t post many these days because I’m not doing many and, well, there is pinterest – a endless abyss of ideas too many of us pin and don’t make. These days I am watching and helping my kids create. One day they won’t need so much help. In many ways, that day is already here.

Yesterday I stepped back and watched my kids pull out supplies and just start making things with a friend. Stickers. Markers. Paper. Popsicle sticks. Hot glue. It is pretty awesome to watch. Even more awesome is they can clean up their mess now! ISO 250, 1/125, f/2.8

All of my guys are getting their ‘summer’ haircuts next week (per their request). I’m going to make this guy take lots of Mother’s Day pictures with me this weekend with his shaggy locks I love.

Secondly, I bought rings. Usually they are outside, but it was raining yecsterday. They aren’t as pretty as craft supplies, but I turn 35 in the fall and made a few physical goals for myself. Also, I got stitches for the first time last night. The stitches were not related to having rings hanging over a concrete floor 🙂
