Fabric Friday – repurposing
Do you like my bag? I have two of them. I use them for work. One is slightly larger and I use it to carry books home. The other one (pictured) is more suitable as a general handbag. I am a real bag lady. I love bags. I hang them in our closet and they […]
Treechange Tuesday
If I was to pack up our life again and move to a new state, I would be more confident. I am so happy with our choice. Any doubts I had were a waste of time and energy. I feel like I have the best life I could live and I feel like we are […]
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 […]

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 […]
