The Short One and I have been making paper mats. The SO doesn't quite yet have the coordination to weave the paper all by himself, but he still loves to try. At least it keeps him occupied from other things - like brooding over how he's not allowed to drive the family car (which has been a big complaint on his part this past week).
On other fronts, I spent some quality procrastination time updating my "What I'm Reading Now" list. You'll note that it's starting to feel a bit like Halloween here. Has anyone else read Mommy?
by Maurice Sendak, Arthur Yorinks and Matthew Reinhart? My friend Ingrid bought it for either me or the SO (I can't remember whose gift it was) a couple years ago. It's a wonderful pop-up book about a little boy in search of his mother. Along the way, he encounters and bests any number of monsters - a mummy, werewolf, vampire, etc. It's a great book. If you come across a copy, I highly recommend it.I'm late, but here are your - still intriguing - bead and jewelry links for the week:
