Fabric Friday: Liberty
For me, the ultimate luxury piece of fabric would be this: Liberty Tana Lawn. This one is called Margaret Annie. When I do my Internet ‘window’ shopping on Etsy, I like to browse images of Liberty prints. Recently I purchased a pretty purse, which is lined with vintage Liberty. Score! This fabric inspires me to […]
21/5/12 – 27/5/12
27/5/12: possibly the most pleasant moment for me was feeding Bessie this morning. It was a pleasant morning. Sometimes it’s necessary to focus on the simple, delightful things. And Matthew enjoyed giving Bessie her evening feed! 26/5/12: an autumn wander was a time of fresh air, a bit of exercise and a time of solitude […]
Lentil Soup
I’m telling you, I am really enjoying and always looking forward to Saturdays because I am getting into the habit of cooking lots of goodness for my family. I am enjoying cooking and eating soups. Soup is such a nourishing meal and they are easy to make. It’s really just a matter of throwing some […]
Kitchen Surprise!
No, we didn’t eat him! Last night, when I let Naigee the cat inside, I got more than I bargained for when a frog started hopping around the kitchen! It was pouring with rain. I imagine there are frogs everywhere around our house right now. We hear them all the time – night and day! […]
Fabric Friday. More IKEA

It might even be a wee bit dusty! So today I’m sharing these pre-sewn fabric cushion covers from Ikea. […]
Rendering – take 2
On Saturday we had the gang back to work on the render of the south and west sides of the house. It was another long day, but the results are excellent! Perran was on the spray pump. He needed a helper to turn it off and on and at various times that was Monte, Miranda […]
14/5/12 – 20/5/12
20/5/12: Georgia’s dance concert. The whole family went to watch Georgia dance. She was wonderful. I’m so proud of my girl; she has been a wonderful team player this weekend – a great help during busy and stressful times. Bless you, darling girl. 19/5/12: Nina is sick and we have to hand feed Bessie. Monte […]
Tagine
My family totally spoiled me for mothers day. I’m lucky just to have them, but they gave me a special day and some special gifts! In this post I commented about Monte giving me a lovely gift. Monte gave me a tagine. And a coffee maker. The tagine is a very pretty thing and I […]
