Since my sewing machine is in the shop, I have turned my energy towards turning this into a light. I bought it at a shop here with some christmas money, but it was made to hold plants, at least it was at the shop. It is now hanging above my dining table, instead of with the pots, pans and bananas, so I will share the finished product hopefully soon.

I love this
Its so nice to wonder what your three-year old is doing and actually catch them being quiet and self contained. Especially when you have those days where you wonder, "Is she really potty trained because it didn't seem like it today?"

Little Stars
Eliza started going to a little Thai school 2 mornings a week. Its called little stars. http://www.littlestars-preschool.com/ (DON'T GO TO THIS SITE IF YOU ARE NOT IN A SECURE COUNTRY!) She likes it for the most part, so far. She doesn't like when I drop her off, but I am pretty sure she is over it as soon as my back side is out of view. It has a good mix of Thai and western kids. She learns in Thai half the time and then English. She has already learned so much. It makes me feel a little unfit since she had to go to a school for a few hours to learn some things, but as Micah pointed out, the teachers there don't have to cook, clean do the laundry and shopping for the kids, just teach them. She has already started doing a lot of pre-writing stuff, which I could never get her to do at home, and the other day she said, "Mom, bugs have 'tennas." (antenae) So it has been cool to see her report the things she has learned, and see the things she has made.
First day, pink polo. Everyday has a different color in Thailand. And at her school they match there uniforms with that days color. (Sunday is red, Monday yellow, tuesday pink, wednesday green, thursday orange, friday blue, and I can NEVER remember Saturday.) But many people wear yellow on Mondays, even adults wear yellow shirts to work. The king was born on a Monday, so they wear the shirts to honor him. Everyone loves the king.

A Lazy Project
I made this little dress for Eliza. It was pretty easy because it was from an old junior's skirt I bought at a yard sale. So I just cut it and sewed it so I could use the original zipper. I am still a little scared of my zipper abilities. I actually wanted it to be more of a tunic, but it is more dress length. That's what I get for not really taking any measurements. I may change the straps though, I am not crazy about how the ribbon is hanging on it.
