Hammered, Vampires and Kitties….

It has been a great week.† After the busyness of the last 2 weeks we just relaxed at home for the most part.

I had seen this really cool project that Kei wanted to try.† I didn’t have exactly the right material but that has never stopped me before!† It would have done better with 100% cotton because Kei’s† hammering knocked holes in the material.

Placing the materials...
Hammering Away...
Finished Project with a few Holes...

We love Halloween and Kei got into the Halloween spirit this week.

Vampire Kei
Countess Dracula...

We went to the Halloween Store so she could pick out her costume.† This year she wanted to ‘be something really Evil.”

EEP!....

She found something that she like and while I don’t want to give it away here she did practice with a little makeup when we got home.

Meow!...

She just can’t do evil. 🙂

She found a really cool feather this week which she called The Yin Yang feather.

Yin Yang...

And made her hammock swing into a hammock ‘chair’ swing which she has always wanted.

Ingenious!

Somehow we have become the co-owner to ANOTHER dog.† He is a beautiful Golden Retriever that lives next door but digs under the fence to our house daily.

Dog 1 and Dog 2...

I am reading The Odyssey to Kei as our night time book.† We are both loving it but we are both mythological, fantasy kinda girls.† It is a children’s version but I am really enjoying it too.

Today we went swimming with HS friends at the indoor pool and afterward the kids decided to swing.

Just Swinging...

Livvy is spending the night with Kei and I am making Stone Soup. Yummy!

Happy weekend,

Dreams surely are difficult, confusing, and not everything in them is brought to pass for mankind. For fleeting dreams have two gates: one is fashioned of horn and one of ivory. Those which pass through the one of sawn ivory are deceptive, bringing tidings which come to nought, but those which issue from the one of polished horn bring true results when a mortal sees them.† ~ Homer, The Odyssey

  1. I like the hammered flowers/leaves.
    I’m pondering it for a large group… ’cause you give a kid a hammer and the whole world is a nail…

  2. I HAVE to show Grace that feather. She will LOVE it. She collects them. I also love the hammering project. I have to show that to her too. Lately she has been hammering stones to break them apart…..this looks a little gentler! Did you see that The History Channel has a program on Odysseus in November?? I am not certain of the date but we are going to DVR it.
