Arts festival

We went to first service yesterday

which gave us spare time to wander the Arts festival.

I must say it was heavenly.

(wouldve been even better without the crowds)

Husband entertained little one as we wandered up and down the streets and aisles.

I saw these handmade journals.

I dont even want one,

I know if I had one I wouldnt be able to bring myself to paint in it.

Really..... Im serious.

I know the reason Im enjoying my journal is

I know its made from an old book,

if I mess up I can just put a layer of gesso over it.

Very freeing.

I found some handpainted yarn and already have a knitting project on my list to knit it up.

I could barely sleep last night

because the yarn was screaming to be knit so loudly.

You think Im joking?

I dont joke about things like that.

I have to knit this baby sweater first.

Plus I was trying to get my other no purl monkey sock knit to mail by the 12th-

the last day to mail military packages for Christmas.

Which is highly unlikely anyhow.

I keep telling the yarn to be quiet and that it will have to wait its turn.

I loaded up in the car with Lil G

had brother drop us off on his way to school

so we could play at the park.

just to get out of the house-

and away from the yarn.

We had a great time

There happened to be a family that spoke Spanish at the park

I could tell Lil G was intrigued.

She actually tried to hug on the grandmother

who was a willing recipient.

I hurried to explain in my Spanglish that we were trying to discourage her from showing affection to strangers,

Felt like a heel.

Then while playing on the slide she hugged a little girl-

I apologized profusely -

she didnt even see it coming.

The look on her face was priceless.

I can laugh about it now!!!

Lil G enjoyed Climbing the rope ladder, the stairs, the swings,

the slide...... and the open space to RUN!

(didnt bring the camera- oops!)

Have to share a funny.

I was in the laundry room and lil G brought me a dishcloth,

huh?

Then she had something very serious to tell me.

I walk into the kitchen and see this in the sink. Huh?

Walk back to her room to see this..........

It was an "AHAAAA!" Moment .

I wonder if that smeared spot is where she tried to clean it on her own?

I didnt notice that until writing this post.

Thankfully I have the industrial size.

I am not sponsored by this company. My personal opinion= Amazing!)

Needless to say, She did have something important to tell me.

"Here mom, I think you are going to need this."

its all grace isnt it?!

off to go knit that baby sweater.... I promise!

Under His wings,

Anna
