weekend recovery

what a crazy weekend!
Friday night we 'partied' alllll night, i think i got about 1hr sleep
so that set the pace for the whole weekend.
Willow had a 24 hr flu which kept her tossing and turning the whole night.

Saturday morning, buzzing on caffeine Willow and I went down to the Houston library with Pam
and Airiyel to try basket weaving.
yum yumm, willow makes sure it's the real thing! ;)
&
This is what a willow basket looks like made on one hour sleep;



hahahahaha
It's not the best way to weave baskets,
and not the best time either in winter when the Willow is dry and brittle
but it was so much fun!

I just let the mess flow, it's artistic don't you think?! ;p


Mars spent almost the whole weekend helping his brother Michael instal a new stove
and chimney, so now they have a house with a room temperature higher than 13 degrees!

On Sunday afternoon when they had finished we drove to Smithers to do our weekly grocery shop.
Willow had fun being pushed around in the trolley and playing with the baby toys in the shops!
Then back home again to snuggle up next to the fire with a hot drink.

A basket full of character! It looks great as a fruit basket!
Reminds me of my grandma's homemade baskets.

Hope you get some time during the week to recover.
