12/3/12 – 19/3/12
12/3/12: The dogs are great with our children, with this photo a testament to the gentle nature of our 12 year old kelpie, d’Art. Ella is pretty awesome too. 13/3/12: it has been a long day, with the frequent wakenings of my baby during the night, followed by a busy day at work and a […]
A great man
I love seeing monte dote on his children. This image is so beautiful. There’s something very attractive about a man going wobbly over a little baby, especially his own baby girl. I went out to dinner with some girlfriends last night. We drove into the city, ate a delicious meal and then drove home late […]
Fabric Friday
All right, I might be going just a little bit crazy with my etsy shopping. Not to mention my fabric shopping. But I bought some owl fabrics last week and I can’t wait for them to arrive! I don’t know what I’m going to do with this one. It strikes me as quite boyish. I’m […]
Getting beef
Today we witnessed the slaughter of one of the cows. It was a paddock kill. I’m not going to go into details about it but I will say that I found it much less spectacular than I imagined. I didn’t see the shooting but I saw the skinning and gutting and I had my arms […]
Produce
It’s not a lot, but it’s enough to bring down the grocery bill. We have a lot of food growing (soon the potatoes will be ready) and I feel pleased to be surrounded by things we have grown. tomatoes of mixed heirloom varieties add colour on our dining table as they ripen in the warmth […]
5/3/12
5/3/12: Matthew woke up bright and early. After making his bed (without prompting), he offered to help get things ready for school lunches. After doing that, he got his breakfast ready (milo cereal, Cheerios and nutri grain mixed up, with milk). What an awesome dude. Love love love. 6/3/12: my children are recognizing the importance […]
Fabric Friday
I bought these pillow cases for 50c each. I really want to use them as pillow cases, but I probably won’t. I’d like to sew an apron for Elora and a little skirt for Georgia (or myself). I’ve also thought of sewing strips together to make a pretty scarf, possibly backing it with some suiting […]
Cleaning the shower
I know. This is totally random and I totally need to get a life, but as a busy working mum I’m after any time savers I can find. If you’re like me the only time you really think about how much your shower needs a clean is when you are actually showering. By the time […]
