at our local library story time, while N was sitting quietly on the mat listening to the "library lady", i noticed Pea contentedly watching the cardboard stars hanging from the ceiling.
that gave me an idea and that night when everyone was in bed i cut these butterflies from scrap paper...

and hung them from her bedroom ceiling.

speaking of paper craft, some things are too good not to share. check out these paper toys i found this morning - animals, dolls, cars... i can see as soon as we get some more ink for our printer N and i will be busy!!
and of course, the craft fair is currently on. i am sure there will be more than my eyes or imagination can cope with, but i am going to be good (ie: disciplined) and limit myself to a couple of purchases (i have a pattern and some fabric in mind) and enjoy the opportunity to window shop...

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist,
but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
