I like being up there

This week has gone by and I feel so tired after it. I guess it's been a combination of things but I'm glad we are in the middle of the weekend. I have been working hard around my home to try to make things better for both Luca and myself. I decided to make more crafts with Luca, but for that I had to accommodate a table for us to work on, in the living room. This table was bought by my husband because he was looking for a coffee table that we could both eat on. Just like we did in Japan, that we were always sitting on the floors and eating in low tables. I was worried that it was going to get damaged by our crafts so I made a tablecloth that could resist water, paint and a child on top...it matches his apron.

Esta semana ha pasado y me siento tan cansada despues de ella. Creo que ha sido una combinacion de cosas pero estoy contenta de estar a mitad del fin de semana. He estado trabajando por mi casas para intentar hacer las cosas mejor para los dos, Luca y yo. Decidi hacer mas manualidades con Luca, pero para eso tenia que poner una mesa donde pudieramos trabajar, en la salita de estar. Esta mesa la compro mi marido porque estaba buscando una mesita de cafe en la que pudieramos comer los dos. Justo como haciamos en Japon, que siempre nos sentabamos en el suelo y comiamos en mesas bajas. Me preocupaba de que se fuera a estropear con nuestros trabajos asi que le hice un mantel que fuera resistente al agua, a las pinturas y a un ninho encima....pega con su delantal.

Luca looks very comfortable on the top of the table. What is that nice quilt on the sofa? It looks very beautiful.

i love the pic of king luca on his throne! also, at first is thought the table cloth was contact paper because it fits so snugly. look forward to seeing it in person. and the couch looks great, it matches the quilt very well!
