Hello again
Posted: September 3, 2010 Filed under: All's Well That Ends Well 10 CommentsThings that have been happening recently:
- We thought we might get to move to the apartment above us, which meant an oven (!) and a dishwasher, among other perks. But it didn’t work out. So we’re redoing part of the Bwun’s room to make way for jr.
- The Bwun loves to talk and say new words. He also is currently obsessed with airplanes.
- School started again for the Romgi, and it seems (so far) like he’s enjoying classes this semester. I like that his schedule is a little more open and I get a few extra naps during the week.
- There’s a house near us that has a really amazing yard, with a garden and a little fish pond. I went on a walk with the Bwun last week and we stopped to see the fish. While we were there, a mangy-looking cat came and started drinking water off the plants. The Bwun and I went on another walk today, past the fish pond, and he kept asking where the cat was.
- I realized that I don’t actually enjoy doing anything. I mean, aside from spending time with the Romgi and the Bwun. Don’t most people have a hobby (or two)? I’m tired of reading for the moment, so I spent a while harassing the Romgi until he came up with something for me to do. It turns out I do like carving stamps out of soft linoleum. Here are some poor-quality pictures of the old and new stamps I’ve done. Please pretend it’s cool, because I am a little bit having fun.
Old: bird
Old: mouse
Old: crocodile
New: ladybug
New: giant anteater
New: fox
New: owl

I was going to comment that your stamps were awesome, but now that you told me to pretend it’s cool, I don’t know how to do it without seeming like I’m just following orders.
Maybe reverse psychology? I guess those stamps are alright. :)
I think the owl is my favorite stamp. I like them all though, you are talented!
I don’t give a hoot. The fox is the best stamp.
Very fun stamps! Glad you found something to do! Maybe the Romgi should be a cruise director!
I love the fox and the anteater. They are awesome!
Dad doesn’t think you ever believed him that he REALLY thinks these (and the animals you’ve done for years) are good … and something you could sell. He would buy them! (Hey, “easy” Christmas present!)
My goodness, you CARVED these? That’s amazing! I don’t think my hands are even capable of that kind of coordination. I’m torn between the anteater and the fox as my favorite.
These are so cheery. We still need our project day!
I too am torn between the fox and the anteater as my faves.
My favorites so far are the anteater and the owl. They just look so perfectly fun when you put them in a card.
But nobody’s mentioned the croc–I really like him too!
