Make & Listen Along

 Make & Listen Along

~ On Thursdays I will post what I have been making and listening to as creations grow. 

If so inclined post, on your blog or flickr, about what you have been making (on your own or with little hands by your side) and listening to while you create. It can be new music, flash backs, a song or a whole album... whatever you like. You can be stitching with needle & thread, yarn, paper crafting, painting, cooking... and beyond. Share what you are making and the tunes that are fueling your creativity. Then come back to my Thursday Make & Listen Along post and leave a link in the comments so we can be inspired right along with you! ~

While there have been lots of lists being made of things I want, and things I want to make, for this little house of ours, I have been mostly just making up house lately. Making it livable, practical, and well, ours.

There are a few spaces that are quickly becoming favorites in this home, and the kitchen is fast becoming one of them. It is amazing and really fun to cook in, eat in, and just generally live in.

The other morning, while waiting for breakfast to cook up on the stovetop, I took a few shots to give a little photo tour of the backdoor entry & kitchen:

We need some hooks in here for hanging up jackets and things but the little shelves have worked awesome for shoes. The washer and dryer are hiding in that cabinet on the left there... perfect for muddy things to head right into the wash!

I love the light that comes in from the big window and the view of the bay is wonderful (the same view we see from the big window in the living room).

The little planter is waiting for paper whites that never got planted (soon) and a twig study of trees in the yard has already begun.

Hello from my new kitchen! 

I have never had stainless steel appliances or a glass stovetop like this one. Any tips for cleaning are most welcome!

As for the listening...

The little man and I have been listening to The Hobbit before bed each night. He is loving it!

I downloaded it for the road trip but sister did not want to listen. After she heard us listening in his room each night she got hooked and pulled the book from the shelf to read ahead. She finished it in two days! (Yes, the girl who claimed she just could not read a chapter book that big!) Now she is ready for Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Finally!

Your turn.
Please share what you have been making and the tunes on your playlist. And don't forget to leave a link to your post if you played along so others can visit your Make and Listen posts. 

I have been trying to get around to visit your posts each week (sometimes it takes me a few days) and they are wonderful! Thanks, to all of you who are joining in and linking up!
