Weekly Wrap-up

February 10, 2012

Howdy friends, I don’t know about you, but it was a fast week. Been working away on the Windmill and tweaking different things…all good I have to say! This week we also saw the birth of a friend’s twin boys, Andy and I are hoping to pop up and take a peek at them and just celebrate with them on our date night tonight (thanks mom and dad!) If I can get enough time then I’m going to give them a digital version of a Traditional Mother’s Lullaby (until I can get it letterpressed) I came across these words and as a momma myself I just tear up reading them thinking about my girls…

Mother’s Song a traditional Lullaby

My heart is like a fountain true

that flows and flows with love to you

as chirps the lark unto the tree

so chirps my pretty babe to me 

 

There is not a rose wherever I seek

as comely as my baby’s cheek

there’s not a comb of honey bee

so full of sweets as babe to me

 

There’s not a star that shines on high

is brighter than my baby’s eye

There’s not a boat upon the sea

can dance as baby does to me

 

No silk was ever spun so fine

as is the hair of baby mine

My baby smells more sweet to me

than smells in spring the elder tree

 

A little fish swims in the well

So in my heart does baby dwell

A little flower blows on the tree

My baby is the flower to me

 

Ten thousand parks where deer do run

Ten thousand roses in the sun

Ten thousand pearls beneath the sea

my babe more precious is to me.

 

Isn’t that just perfect?? I also worked on a bike print for the boys’ room haven’t printed it yet but will this coming week. Well I still have a few Valentine’s left so if you need  quick one before Tuesday, let me know…Have a Great Weekend!
