Flattering Outfit

I was watching the recent SAG awards and noticed this British actress Jessica Gunning going up for her award.  I couldn't help but notice how perfectly flattering her dress was on her oversized figure.  Here is a video of it.  I don't really know of her.

 

Some Inspiration

 I am sharing this inspiration from Einstein with you today.  Something to think about..

If you have been following my amaryllis bloom, this is a photo of the 2nd bud on the plant that bloomed right after the blooms on the first bud faded.

Here is an older photo of the plant with that 2nd bloom hanging off to the left side.  At that point I wondered if it would bloom.

The baby safety class

 Daughter L asked us to sign up for a few free online baby care classes from The Baby Academy.  We attended our first one on baby safety this past Feb 22nd.  It was informative and I learned something as a grandparent.

Here are my notes, although they do email their slides.

Dangers to be aware of: watch out for falls, no hands in holes, burns, poisons, dog bites, choking, drowning.

Consider baby's eye view, crawl around to see their view.  Tie up blind cords, remove caps from door stoppers, put away batteries, medicines, get rid of dust balls, poisonous plants, check for loose parts on teddy bears

Keep toilet seat covers down

Any object that fits through a toilet roll is a choker (toilet roll test)

Bags are a suffocation risk

Never leave baby unattended in bath, drain water after

Consider a baby play drawer cupboard in kitchen

High fever temp 37.6 C

No tylenol under 3 months old

Get a digital thermometer (take temperature in armpit)

If baby rubs ears, could be ear infection

Avoid teething necklaces

No drinking water till after 1 year old

Ways to sooth baby...rub the top of his head, consider lighting, music

Administer meds upright

No aspirin under 18 yrs

Look for heat rashes, diaper rashes, chicken pox

Use sunscreen that says it is ok for babies

Meningitis is a high risk fro 0-3 months

Rain's Thursday Art Date - Peripheral Vision and Sandwich Trays

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! The theme is 'Peripheral Vision'. Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in acrylic and watercolour pencil.

 

 For the Dinner Date, I am showing some sandwich trays we ordered last month to test out for daughter L's upcoming baby shower.  They are from a local grocery store and the sandwiches were very fresh and delicious.  That is a mustard dip in the photo directly above that I neglected to uncover.
