CHICKPEA SEWING STUDIO

Wouldn't it be nice say that we had the time of our lives in the DR? But that would not really be true. The ocean was perfect and the sun waiting for us but unfortunately so was a nasty spider who bit Thomas in the leg. We didn't know though, that it had happened and couldn't understand what was happening to him. He is on bed rest now with the wounds to show for his misfortune while I am trying to not have a constant panic attack about what is going on. I was told today that there are some black circles under my eyes and I bet that's right...

We spent most of this Sunday afternoon resting on the big bed and watching movies, I could get used to it. Sometimes doing nothing is the greatest luxe.

Still trying to channel the moto on the print below:

Nursing a cold.

Not much getting done.

A little dyeing, some new fanfictions on the screen, enormous quantities of tea being brewed.

Staying warm.

I am just stopping here a moment to reassure anyone who might think I quit blogging all together. Summer is not the relaxed interlude I thought it be. More activities, not less are expected to happen and I am a little on the overwhelmed side. Lets just say that I haven't sewn anything outside of lessons, haven't baked anything that didn't come from a box and to top it all off, I started exercising! Ouch!

Still I have something wonderful to share with you, it makes me so relaxed when I watch it:

If like me you love bubbles here is another more detailed video from the same Korean company.

Before I leave for who knows how long I want to thank all the good people that have left me reviews lately because I have the feeling that I got back to no one! Shame.

We took a trip to Sundance Resort this weekend, where we froze our toes and fingers up and down a ski lift. A couple of equally frozen tourists took this very toothy picture of us three. Sundance is really pretty despite the cold and we really should come back and ski there next winter. It looks like a really easy hill too. It was almost possible today because it snowed! a lot. I just don't understand this weather anymore. But back to the resort, they have these fantastic accommodations there and we had a blast drinking teas and hot chocolate and eating sandwiches.

Thomas let me pick these green hearings from the Sundance Catalog for Mother's day. They are called Tropical Tears, and that's how bad I wish I could be in the ocean right now... warm, blue ocean...ummm.

I found a link there if you are interested.

I just love this holiday. It's very close to my B-day and this way I can celebrate something fun instead of my ridiculous anxiety about aging... Being a mom is such an awesome permanent thing. As in, no one can take that away from you, even on days when you can't wait to get rid of your kid!

Urban Outfitters had this really cool photo contest this year. You would send in pictures of your mom, most pictures are from the seventies. Here are two of my favorites:

There is a blog out there dedicated to that sort of thing, I have been following it for fun. It's called 'My parents were awesome'. Awesome, that word again.
