I made a few suggestions (movie? pedicure? crafts?), but nothing seemed to spark her interest. Finally I just asked her: what would you like to do today, Émilie? "I want to go to Céramic Café, Maman."
For those of you not in the Montreal area, Céramic Café is a café where you can paint your own ceramics, and they'll take care of the glazing, drying and (baking? cooking? whatever. They take your piece and make it all shiny and nice). Well alright-y then!
Émilie chose a frog figurine (I swear, the house is full of frogs and unicorns!), and I walked in fully expecting to paint a mug or a bowl or something, but... well... that was before I knew they had garden gnomes.
GNOMES!!! OhMyGah. Simply Had. To. Have. One. Honestly, is he not the cutest gnome EVER? So cheery and happy-looking. And puh-lease. Who could resist that face?
So yeah... I had a great day with my daughter, got to get my craft on, and got a gnome too. I wonder if Maxime would like to join us next time? After all, Gnomeo here needs a girlfriend :)

Wondering about this week's muffins? Here they are!
Peach Butter Muffins, from the Messy Baker. Absolutely delicious, very light and fluffy, and a good way to use up my homemade vanilla peach butter, which nobody in my family seems to particularly enjoy but me.
Oh yeah... that's the stuff right there.
Happy Knitting, Everyone!

He's so cute. And yep, definitely needs a bearded Giuliette :)
The ceramic cafe looks like it was lot of fun. Your gnome is sooo cute!
Mmm those muffins look good. Though, I can't cook peach (nectarine/appricot or cherry) things anymore here (some of us can still eat it) but it's not fair to Sean to bake stuff like that when he can't eat them anymore.
Wow! What a happy gnome!
When I told my Church about Emilie on Sunday - about her surgery and her return to school and about her probably recovering her smile - the Church literally vibrated with the applause. Many were in tears - MY GOD YOU ARE ALL INCREDIBLE!
