Sunday afternoon...

Spent some time thinking alot of cream and sugar trays this weekend. Trays get me! I never know weather to make really fancy ones or a more simple version. It always seemed to me that if someone was going to actually use a cream and sugar set they would like a tray that is straight forward. The flip side to this is a really cool cream and sugar sets makes us want it that much more because its such a conversation piece.
So, that was where my head was this weekend and below are some things I came up with to suit both sides of my "brain".

Just an added bonus is this platter. I just can't give up on platters no matter how many issues I have with them.......

We had an eventful Friday and Saturday and today was spent just being at home. ( Which I tend to love doing!) The kids got to visit a new school that they will be attending next year. This has and will be an on going transition for our 3 children. Lots of drama for the next months coming up. Hopefully it won't last a year...but you never know with children.

Friday night Joey and I planned time together to watch Mad Men while I worked in my studio. I do have a TV and every now and again I can talk him into sitting in a lawn chair with a beer and enjoying a movie with me while I work. This Friday I didn't get much done because my "counseling" services where needed while one of my girls had a heart to heart about some feeling she was having. I was thinking today how when your a parents, working at home you have to stop everything and be flexible at that moment to help out your child. Much different to be "working" and in that thought process as opposed to doing house work and dropping that....

Just a parental observation from my perspective as a crafts person working at home.

( I still have not finished Mad Men but I did get lots done today while everyone was happy and occupied!)
