weekend wishes

for more shadow belly kisses from my little girl........


for more signs of spring........


and flower fun........


and these gorgeous cherry blossoms that are starting to line our pretty streets....


to stare into these beautiful blue eyes
(hoping the new little bean has them too)....


and to have plenty moments of stillness.


the sun has been shining the last few days and let me tell you it feels wonderful, fresh, warm and so invigorating! i've been feeling bad for all the people enduring those winter storms right now, but we get enough of our fair share here in canada so i'm happy to have the sun for a change.

spring is definitely in the air, the streets are starting to bloom and fill with cherry blossoms, new growth is sprouting everywhere, my belly included, and it is perfect park weather. i didn't get in the "moments in the mommyhood" post this week so i decided to mix it up in the weekend wishes and use my pics instead of my usual sources.

i'm hoping for mackenzie to have plenty moments of stillness, like the one above, so i can get some sewing, crocheting or knitting done while watching the olympics - go canada, go! she doesn't nap anymore so it's a rare occassion for her to pass out in our house...haha. plus i have a new tutorial for everyone that's just begging to be finished.

what are your weekend wishes? are you in sunshine or snow & which do you prefer?

  1. Love the pictures! Especially the one of your sleeping baby, I love to look at my little one when she is so peaceful, doesnt happen to often!
    As soon as you mentioned the lovely weather you were having I started to think you must be from the west coast, It is so lovely here and no where else could their be cherry blossoms out in February. I know my garden is looking very spring like. Got to love the west coast and Vancouver Island!

  2. So pretty and sweet, I love all your pictures. We're on the North East coast of the US and we just got snow but it's sunny now and it's melting. Such a different winter we're having.

  3. Love the shadow picture, too sweet! Oh, I wish we were showing signs of spring. It is snowing today and I am so sick of the cold! I will just have to look at your lovely pictures and imagine it is spring. Love the napping picture, sometimes I just stand in my kids' rooms at night and watch them sleep. It always calms me and brings me peace.

  4. Kate - You're right, we are on the West Coast, Victoria to be exact and it's so nice out right now! Are you in Canada too?

    Kristan - It has been a different winter hasn't it? We had no snow, it was weird, but I loved it. I can handle the no snow...haha. Hope yours melts soon :)

    Mauri - I know...can't you just stare at them for hours? They look so sweet and innocent, I think it's a survival mechanism...haha, cause when they wake up...watch out! How you feeling? Can't wait for your belly to get as big as mine is!

  5. Sweet, sweet belly kiss.

    So I got my Japanese books yesterday, and amazing! So I can't read them? Who needs to read when you have such detailed picture directions? I'm giving them a thumbs up now, but I'll reserve better praise for when I've actually completed a project.

    One of my favorite sewing bloggers makes her daughters' clothes from one, and she says she loves it:

Please leave a comment, I LOVE hearing from you!

Most of the time I try really hard to respond to comments right in the comments section, I find it more fun and that way other people can join in on the conversation. If you would like for me to write you back instead, just leave your email addy (blogger doesn't always give it to me) and I'll send you a hello!
