Out for a walk along the Bow River

 

 

 

And he’s a boy!

Arrived into the outside world 3am, Monday 23rd August.

Adventuring will resume once I’m feeling a bit more mobile. Right now even the walk to the mailbox is more than I can handle (I got most of the way there, then decided I was close enough and headed for home… it’s probably a whole 100 metres or so after all).

So life is getting a bit less comfortable. The moosling is at 40 weeks today, so has hit the official due date (unless you go by scans, which put it at a few days later… either way, moosling arrival is impending). And I can’t walk around much, or get comfortable, so in the meantime, I wait. It could be today, or could be another couple of weeks…

 

 

A side-effect of not knowing whether the impending moosling will be a girl or a boy, is that I’ve ended up with a whole bunch of white clothes. And now I’ve finished work, I’ve had a lot of time on my hands (especially as my pelvic ligaments are too sore to let me walk very far). So I’ve been busy turning these:

Dyeing fabric is every so much fun, now I just want to dye everything in the house – and the dyes I got created really good bright colours that shouldn’t wash out… well I’ve already washed them with white things, and the whites are still white… until I dye them too.

And then using stencils:

 

I make the stencils from freezer paper – draw your design on, cut out with a stanley knife, iron onto fabric and paint away.

 

To make these:

 

 

 

 

Why yes, I am having fun getting all crafty. It’s been a while.
