First girlfriend

Late summer and into fall 2013 I found out that Colin was dating someone. It was a first for him and a big first for me as his mother! My wild and crazy, busy boy was our first to date and it scared me silly. So yet again my wild middle son is the one who introduced me to something new in life. Colin often does things first in this close in age group of siblings. He says I should not worry about him. He can't understand, until he's a parent himself, that all parents worry about their kids. It comes with the job.

Since he no longer is with this girl I'll blog with only less identifiable pictures. It was a big part of his life, and we went on a few "family dates" so it goes on the blog :-).

Tapestry

Tristan is studying medieval tapestries in history. he needed to make a tapestry with a scene from his life so chose him and Comet. I decided to make one too, a tapestry about trying to catch Speedy bun buns, our bunny, when he doesn't want to go in the house. Tristan's Tapestry is better, mine is odd. LOL

In Tristan's tapestry he made a scene and also tried natural fabric dying and also weaving to sample several techniques.

My tapestry represents me catching Speedy while Flower looks on and some rogue animal that jumped into the picture!
