Easter Holiday
April 11th, 2009 Posted in Cleft Palate, Creative children, Day to day, Family, Frida, Our garden, Ronja, easter
We are so enjoying our Easter break here. It totally popped up at the right time! Yesterday, the first day off, was a day of painting Easter eggs and spending time in the garden. The weather is awesome, and for a few days now, Frida has been almost completely back to being the happy girl we had before her surgery, and it’s just a joy to see. She manages the arm splints brilliantly, and does just about everything she normally does – they really don’t seem to bother her much during the day. They only mess up her sleep a bit, but still, everything is so much better now, and we can only be happy about the way she’s coming round.
Ronja and I painted Easter eggs yesterday. Mads and I blew out the eggs, washed them, and left them to dry – and Ronja just couldn’t wait to get started with the paint! So check it out – before:
During:
And after:
We had a lot of fun, and Ronja was actually a more patient painter, than I would have expected. I love the eggs she made! Afterwards we fetched some branches from the garden to for them to hang on, and I added some of the Easter stuff I have already.
We spent the afternoon outside – we still have to keep Frida from colds, but the weather was really warm and not too windy, and she absolutely loves being in the garden – as does Ronja!
I haven’t been getting around to do any sewing since I made nightgowns for the girls, but yesterday evening, shile Mads was playing with his motorcycle in the garage, I got around to cutting the fabric for a tunic – for me, myself, MOI! Yep, that’s right – it’s kind of a test drive really. The fabric for it comes from my stash, and I really want to check if the pattern is good, before I move on to possibly purchasing fabric for the next version of it. I hope I’ll be able to do some sewing tomorrow.

Happy Easter, so glad she’s on the mend!
I can’t wait to see the tunic, I’ve been trying to focus more on sewing for myself, it’s very rewarding.

6 O’Clock Stitch – thank you so much!
Amy – Thanks! I have a peek up now – the rest will follow once I get the buttons.
Your dress is just beautiful!
Linda – yes, it is wonderful to see a smile on Frida’s face – I couldn’t agree more!
Thank you so much!
Julia – and a happy one to you as well – thanks!
Christina – hvor er du sød! Du kan tro, at vi har nydt vejret og haven – ikke mindst Frida, som jo har været lidt isoleret det sidste stykke tid. Jo, vi nyder det!
