Slings

Awhile back I co-directed a play called “Birth.” A group of concerned mothers hosted an informational event to build awareness regarding the subject “birth.” At this event I won a sling made by Stacey Goranson of Baby Moon Slings 

Everywhere I go people ask where I got my sling. More people tell me they wish slings were around when they were raising children. This comment is funny to me because it shows how little we know of other cultures. I have been stuck without a baby carrier and used a sheet to tie the baby onto me.

Another sling maker I love is Sarita of Sarita Star Designs.  Sarita sews beautiful custom apliqué slings. Her work has blossomed over the last few years and the results are stunning.

If you are looking for a baby carrier or a gift for new parents check out Sarita and Stacey and their beautiful slings! As always…. Thanks for reading our blog

Holiday Season

Selling gifts during the holidays has been fun. People have been filled with joy at the thought of giving the ones they love a special gift. I am reminded of how important it is to be filled with a spirit of joy and peace. Many people are so hurried and stressed now. Why is this? What has become of us when we will trample and kill to be the first in line at a box store for the “big sale”

Here is a picture of what you are really saving…

Thank you to all who support us and everyone else working to create a better community

Wedding Pictures

Today we have sick kids. Yes “the flu,” a slow day here at the Eberle’s. They are now all sleeping and I thought maybe I would post some pictures from Nikki and Jason’s Wedding. Nikki from Moxie Images

Nikki and Jason got married at Cannon Beach Oregon. The photographer (who did an amazing job) was Bill Winters

Mixed Topics

As of recent I have discovered that people actually read my blog I have to admit that makes me excited and nervous. Excited that I have friends who check on me, and nervous because English in general in my weakest subject. I write how I talk, in fragmented sentences. I spell how any slightly dyslexic person who has spent no time trying to improve her spelling would spell…. Horribly

Well I guess you don’t care about my faults. It drives Nathan crazy. (He is an English lit/ Spanish lit major after all) For example a local author who we love blogged about us recently. I’ve been 26 steps behind since Abraham has arrived (where is my Mary Poppins?) and did not know she wrote about us. A paper supplier in San Francisco found us because of something written about us. I went googling trying to find the latest news on aNeMonE that was unknown to us. Megan wrote and article for the Spokesman and mentioned us as well as a lovely blog mention.  (Seriously check out her blog she has THE coolest crafters blog out there. She inspires me!)

  Penny Carnival 

She took a gorgeous picture of the tree we created. Okay I’m getting to my point here…. I left her a blog comment and called her “Cleaver” instead of “Clever” If Nathan read our blog he would be irritated. What was I thinking? 1st, it was way too late at night to be posting public comments and 2nd, her site is slightly 50ish but I wasn’t thinking June Cleaver 3rd, I lost sleep over the mistake. Silly isn’t it?

On to the Blog…. What I wanted to mention besides Megan Cooley and her cool blog, was that we watched 2 movies that I wanted to share…

1. “Dan in Real Life”    I have to say we LOVED this movie. It was a comedy about “real life” it was clever (not cleaver,) it made us both laugh and cry. Maybe I loved it so much because I have a large family that has moments similar to the ones built in the movie. Maybe because the music was “Handmade” (watch the extras at the end!) Maybe because the main character held a moral standard. Kudos to Peter Hedges the director, we will be following him, like we follow Wes Anderson. Juliette Binoche we have always loved and Steve Carell is becoming one of our favorite actors

2. The Violin (El Violin)    This movie was incredibly. Nathan didn’t stop talking about it for days. Francisco Vargas directs this compelling story of three traveling musicians, a father, son, and grandson. It touches on the horror of war, the basic good of humanity, and the common language of music. This movie may be a hard one to find, we use and love Netflicks.

Abraham and the boys are doing well! Our “little aNeMonE store” has been quickly gaining customers we call “collectors.” Pick up a copy of this months, Spokane Metro Magazine at our little store, they wrote a lovely little blurp on us this issue. I’ve attached the picture they used the the Magazine. It’s Jonah with one of our paper flowers  Spokane Metro

I’ll try to write again this month. Thanks for all your love and support!
