Creative Endeavors in a Busy Life: March 2012
http://craftingmamalibrarian.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Creative Endeavors in a Busy Life. Sunday, March 18, 2012. Did you think I could resist these? We had the Winter That Wasn't and now are having some lovely, warm days. The sun is strong, no leaves on the trees, so when you are outside it can feel very tiring this time of year. Notice the careful, wide-legged stance! Also, some friends visited (baby feet, pictured above) and we caught up and played games and made yummy food (dehydrated kale chips were delicious, even Jonas admits it! A Sew Groovy Chick.

A little peak at the lovely Rockport Harbor on a gray wintery day. Snow: Please come here now. Lots of inside, windowsill shots because it has been cold and unappealing outside lately. We have also been falling down the Youtube hole, and we discovered Bobbie and Tony singing Tell Me Why. Cutest. Couple. Ever! Also on th...

http://craftingmamalibrarian.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Creative Endeavors in a Busy Life. Monday, August 27, 2012. Last night of summer vacay. Am I ready to go back to school? Well I love being on vacation as much as the next librarian, but I've just had so. Summer, it's been so rich, we've been so lucky, had so much time together as a family and with a lot of people we love. It would be greedy of me to say no. The answer is yes, I'm ready to head into my new adventure. I'm full of summer. It's been enough; perfect, really. And I have one more Artist Profile.

Creative Endeavors in a Busy Life: it's ok to fail
http://craftingmamalibrarian.blogspot.com/2012/10/its-ok-to-fail.html
Creative Endeavors in a Busy Life. Saturday, October 27, 2012. It's ok to fail. I recently overheard someone say that she was "just the right amount of helicopter parent." Oh dear. I edged away from that conversation quickly and suppressed my gag reflex. The very idea of the helicopter parent. Is odious to me because I feel like it's fundamentally disrespectful of children and childhood. (But this episode. Of Portlandia is hilarious.). It's like pie crust in a box. I hope that I'm just the right amount o...

Creative Endeavors in a Busy Life: June 2012
http://craftingmamalibrarian.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Creative Endeavors in a Busy Life. Tuesday, June 26, 2012. The baseball season wound up with success. The main success in my mind is kind coaches and good spirit of the game, plenty of runs, catches, surprise double-play unassisted (! Even a rainbow. A very dear young fellow who was sometimes kicking flowers and dirt and other times making some awesome plays, best smile on the team! And my very own sweet guy was a team leader, praised by his coaches for his sportsmanship and manners. First, middle school...

Creative Endeavors in a Busy Life. Saturday, February 25, 2012. Awesome shot, thanks Carrie). We interrupt your regularly scheduled but annoyingly un-winterlike winter to bring you Florida:. Warm breezes, the sound of the surf all night, and playing in the surf. Me, playing in the ocean: a great joy of my life which I hardly ever experience, living in Maine. Spending relaxing hours at the pool, walking the beach, being with loved ones. We made a sand mermaid with seaweed hair. Jonas reading some more:.
