the ribbon

this little short sleeved jacked just happened to me. it was a sweater and i washed it too hot, usually it does not happen to me, but this time it did. i was too lazy and threw the second hand sweater in the regular wash...
i loved the colour and texture of it even though it was washed to hot, and shrunk, and i wanted to wear it anyway.
the only way to do this was to cut it apart and fix it up with one of the really nice jacquard ribbon i found at jcaroline. don't ask me how i stumbled upon that web site, but i liked her ribbons a lot. i put a little order in back in january and am so happy now with the way this project turned out. i did not know then of any specific use for the ribbon, but i just had to have it...

this for the moment, it's very busy at our house with joel's parents here.

the kids love them and want to be with them at any given moment in time, which is not easy to joggle, but we deal with it case by case. e & t are great, they love the kids and it seems like they can't get enough of our band of four! we went to the museum today, it was very nice. naomi and i got to spend some time in the japanese collection, which i rarely visit. the boys got each a grandparent, amos to attend an art class and elias walked a second time through the special exhibit on view, about the venician painters titian, tintoretto, and veronese. i went with him last week and he loved it. the same this time, and he wanted again to listen to the whole curators talk! great, what more do you want from a 10 year old boy apreciating art! he will give a little presentation at the upcoming geography club (italy).
