After a full week of travel (two planes, two hotel rooms and three different time zones), I arrived home Saturday afternoon sporting a pretty unfortunate head cold. The girlies were feeling pretty cruddy too, which, while sad for them, was convenient for me, as all I really wanted to do after six days away was cuddle in the bed with them and watch movies. So the weekend was pretty much the movie/cuddle-fest, some reading and drawing and the beginnings of "Operation Valentine 2011" -- we try to make homemade ones every year (they're not always pretty, but it's the thought that counts, right?) and between both girls, we're up to 54 (!) classmates, so we have to start early. We're playing with some pen and ink handwritten notes adorned with Japanese masking tape mini-bunting. We'll see how they turn out ;-) Alt was completely fantastic and inspiring this year (more on that later), but boy am I glad to be home! Hope you had a splendid weekend friends.

Your weekend looks just beautiful, we were in bed with an awful cold. I am glad you are back home with your little ones and can't wait to hear about Alt!
Happy Monday!
Hope you feel better soon. I adore handmade valentines. Because I am not so crafty, we ordered crayon hearts from Etsy this year. Can't wait to see how yours turn out!
Best,
Tina

I think you already know this by now but it was a joy meeting you in person and I feel so lucky that I got to sit down several times to talk to you! Plus, you've got MAD style and I'm stealing some of your outfit ideas - can you keep posting them on here? :)
These are all lovely things from your weekend - I'm now obsessed with a note on design (so many beautiful things) and I love that you make homemade V Day cards with your girlies (I did the same thing when i was young).
Hope you have a wonderful week! xx
Is that a coloring book or a book that your little girl is looking at so intently?
Clara it's a taro gomi coloring book. She loves it!
