Geometry
I’ve been thinking and pondering upon what to enter for this month’s Le Challenge, and the need to make an angel pouch for the Sweet Pouch Swap is the perfect little project to do it for! I’m using some leftover HSTs from my Fat Quarter Shop BOM to play with triangles – probably my favourite geometric design element! I’ve finished pressing and trimming, now just playing with a layout. This isn’t the first time HST scraps have ended up as a pouch either, must be my thing now!

My Heart
Today my son begins his schooling life. We have his ‘entrance ceremony’ this morning, and he starts a month of mornings-only tomorrow. As of next month, he will be at preschool from 8-2:30 (including the bus trips there and back) five days a week. Of course I’m happy for him – he will ultimately love it, and it will be so good for his social and Japanese skills. But my heart is also grieving the end of this beautiful time of our life together. I watched this video yesterday and was in tears and just how beautifully true it is. Mothers, watch it, and then go give your kids a big hug and kiss!

wow I can’t imagine being apart from my kiddos all day!! I have a hard time with the short 3x a week preschool I had Katy enrolled in. Probably part of why we decided to homeschool, though I know there are awesome teachers and schools out there that take such good care of our kiddos =)
