Things....

A couple of things I have been meaning to post about.

1) A new budding friendship. I guess its not really new anymore but still budding just the same. Last year, May-ish, I started talking on the phone with a fellow blogger. The conversations started monthly and have progressed slowly to weekly. Or on days like today, three times a day ;-) We can BS about nothing or discuss deeper topics. I think for the most part we are agreeable but I think we are getting comfortable enough to disagree with each other. Though our conversations sometimes fly all over the place, they flow easily and freely. I have great people in my life but it has been a really, really long time since I had a friend that was MY friend. Wasn't also friends with my sister. Or my husband. Or better friends with another close friend. I could go on and on but I will just say, "It's nice!" and I hope it continues down this path.

2) Another sweet, crafty blogger that is so generous to a practical stranger I just had to post about her. We met at Kingsway this week while I was in the city and she had made a beautiful baby gift for Tyson, that included a blanket, a crinkly toy blankie, and a fabric ball. And so the girls wouldn't feel left out (or because she just a crazy crafter ;-) )she made them dolly slings and diaper bags. She snuggled with Tyson why I shopped at Gymboree and spent my Gymbucks. After the shopping we went and sat in the food court and just chatted. We met once last year when again, she made my girls dolly diapers and dolly blankets, just for the hell of it. She is wonderfully frugal and witty and I hope we meet up again in the future. The only pitfall for this lovely woman is her love of pirates ;-) j/k!
