eccentric aunt: Aunt in Autumn

Today, I think, I am having another niece/nephew :) My sister-in-law is at the hospital as I type. This will be # 4 in all, her 2nd. My sister has 2 as well, the youngest is just over 1 month old. I love being an aunt.

So while both of my siblings were in their pregnancy stages, I wrote a song for all of my nieces and nephews now and to come. I thought that today would be a fitting day to post the lyrics.

When everyone's gone

I sit at the back door

The moon comes out now

To be by my side

And I start to sing

Sing on and on

And I'll sing some more

I'll sing til the dawn

And the sun wakes up

To put me to bed

I fly through the sky

Orion takes my hand

We waltz through out space

Now it's time to land

And I start to sing

I'll sing while it's light

And I'll sing some more

I'll sing til twilight

And the moon wakes up

To put me to bed

Twinkle twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are

Twinkle twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are

And I start to sing

Sing on and on

And I'll sing some more
Sing til the dawn

And I start to sing

Sing while it's light

And I'll sing some more

Sing til twilight...

And the moon wakes up

To put me to bed

And that is my song.

I picked up some knitting needles a few weeks ago. I don't have a clue how they work. Some people use them to make things like sweaters and scarfs and other fall things. I don't know how to do that. So I made them into accessories.

There's some pretty cool colors too.

I made a little monster the week before last. It was for my friend's little boy. However, I visited my sister and showed her the monster first. Her little girl really liked it, so how could I go and not leave it behind?

I will make more...

Here's some random pictures I thought I'd throw in for fun.

My little gnome. I made him and was getting annoyed that it wasn't working out the way I wanted, so I threw him back into the slip bucket. I gave up. My Mum asked me if I was sure I wanted to do that, and that's when I decided somewhere in my heart, that I actually did want him. She rescued him for me, and though lots of the details were forever lost in the slip bucket, my little wizard-gnome now resides on top of Mum's roll-top desk in her family room.

I found this wonderful teapot (with teacups, bowls and spoons) at a garage sale down the street one hot sunny day. It was $4.00. Hmmm, seems like the best things are always $4.00 (like the beads I mentioned in the last post). I wasn't sure if I should buy the set, since I really don't have room for anything in my house. I walked away, leaving it all behind. I ended up going back, couldn't resist. I use it regularly.
