minding our beeswax

still working on lizzies  christmas blocks, i have put her to work waxing them herself and they are coming out amazing. i sanded them, put 3 different kinds of oil on them, sanded some more and then broke down and bought a stick of beeswax (which i should have done in the first place). the oil made them smell good and soaked in well, but the beeswax is the bees knees if you ask me.

so my new obsession is beeswax and i started making some new baby blocks today (after a friend persuaded me to make her one with a little twist), funny how i am making more baby things now than i ever did when i actually HAD a baby around here. elizabeth is growing up in huge spurts now, today she was telling me a story in long drawn out sentences with a clear point of view, very interesting. she is also busy creating things nonstop, wonder where she gets that from???

emily and i are also starting a new bike riding regime, i finally have the perfect workout partner, full of spunk and willing to go at a moments notice. here's to losing that extra 30 pounds... or maybe 40 if i want to be "skinny" ha ha!!

  1. she is working those blocks so carefully...looks like it would be so soothing. I wish i had a work out partner like that, motivating and at a moments notice...i could use the motivation. i want to lose a bunch of weight so i can have another baby...!!!
