never stopping until i say, “whoa!”

jude slept, his body in a curl on the bed. it was almost four but i was weary so i just let him sleep. lola woke him up a little later and he ate zucchini bread and looked around through a tunnel of sleepiness, the after nap feeling in his teeth and the corners of this eyes. so now he is awake, henry asleep with a book in his hand, lola on top of the covers of my bed. he is helping ernie by wielding a tape measure. it’s hard for me to work when i know that there is a child around, awake, doing something somewhere in the house. i am horribly and easily distracted. it’s a terrible thing to be.

there’s a new garland in the shop, horses and pennants. lola loves to gallop, clunks down the hall pretending she’s a horse. her birthday is coming so i’m making some horse decorations, thus the new garland. a carousel mobile is in the works now, of course, along with the other mobiles i have in parts in the studio. easily distracted, remember?
