Outdoorsy Art

I think I am falling in love with the online crafting world. The only problem i, I have too many ideas and not enough time in my lifetime to get them done. While I am reading my daily list of blogs, I feel my heart starting to pound with some excitement and some near panic--which project should I do with the kids tomorrow? how much time have I wasted with my children already? how many moments have I lost? I find that when I am feeling good and doing something new and different with either Norah or Harvey, each day fills me with wonder and awe--at the human body, at the human mind...

One day last week while Harvey was sleeping, Norah and I went outside looking for things in nature that we loved--well, really I was collecting those things and she was hoarding her new Dora doll from our neighbor Maia. Anyways, we brought some leaves, pine needles, and a pine cone inside and made some pretty, happy pictures.

Norah made this one:


And I made this one:

this is really fantastic work/play you are doing with the kids...i think they are growing, thinking, creating...As opposed to just watching. I'm so very happy to be a part of all this
