Yesterday was soggy and rather miserable. I've had a cold for a week now and just can't seem to shake it off. Ollie made some raindrops out of pipe cleaners and then I tacked them to the ceiling. It was fun to lay down and watch them twirl around, as if it were raining in colourful slow motion.

Summer's not that far away...wouldn't it be nice?

terrariums.

The time has come to build a terrarium. We collected some moss today but that is as far as we got before children became tired and hungry.  My ultimate specimen to place under glass? The elusive Dendrophylax lindenii (ghost orchid).

Made a minute dent in my fabric stash this past week making some throw pillows for the crib without a rail which now happily resembles a day bed!
