Adonde

Love this Adonde vase.

Isn't She Lovely

This is Apple. Mr though she "looked old but new". She sold quickly but I can always make more. xx

Buried Amongst The Mess

I'm in Berry for the weekend and right now I'm looking out onto grass, trees and mountains. A storm is brewing. Mr is having a nap and I am on my computer (nothing new there). If I was at home, I'd be in my sewing room amongst this mess (and just as happy). I'm eating date loaf and apple and drinking tea, ever present are snacks with me. Hope you're having a lovely weekend. x

Scalloped Edges

Playing with new scalloped edges.... to be continued.

Chemist Candle

I bought this beautiful pomegrante candle in a jar from I Like Birds, a new vintage-inspired store in William St, Paddington. Pop in and visit if you can, its beautifully and thoughtfully put together and the garden of pots out the back is amazing.

Rich, Dark & Heavy

These are new colours for me. Heavy, rich colours, ever since I was served tea, milk & flowers in these at Ethos, Hobart - I have been giving my collected Inner HealthPlus bottles a new life. Pics here from Kari Herer's shop.

Muffin

This little muffin stayed with us all weekend (along with her puppy Ruby). She chose her own colours from my mountains of dots and couldn't wait to get it up on the wall.

Cook Book

Mr bought me home 3 bunches of roses on Friday. What a prince. Our little niece Asha & I made him a lemon pound cake in return. Aftter the smoke subsided (little miss mouse turned on the electric cooktop my cookbook was resting on) we enjoyed tea & cake.

Pretty Pastel

Making paper 'clouds' & packaging up a 'Caron' custom order.

Asha

We are looking after this little princess for the weekend.

Art Attempt

Well these are my dots, after much bad maths, I finally got the spacing right. These are bright & happy and probably and would look amazing in a lounge room, dining room or kids room - at the moment I have them in my study. The other colours I did were 'army' greens, greys & metallics and a bit more 'grown up', almost masculine (except I snuck in some pale pink).

Tree Peonies

I just can't seem to take a photo to show just how huge these tree peonies were. The most beautiful flowers ever to enter my home.

From This...

To this. Our view has gone from a watery one to a wooden one. They are demolishing the balconies so we are trapped in here for the summer.

At least we are lucky enough to have the beach out there, just seems cruel that we can no longer see it and breathe it. If it becomes too suffocating, we'll pack up and go...in the mean time I have quite enjoyed the reconfiguring our little place to accommodate the changes. That is, well after we got home to our reduced space and felt like crying.

fjura

Saturday was such a busy day - I usually like Saturdays to myself...to read, to faff, to sew. Not so this weekend. It went a little bit like this: A walk and a coffee, a carpenter in our house, an auction, Mr bought me flowers at the amazing fjura (pic 2 is a bridal bouquet I'd be overjoyed with), exchanged some trousers in Witchery, 3 house inspections, 2 family visits, a snuggle of a baby, lunch with dad, framing pick up - I had my dots framed, I'll show you soon - drop off Mr for a hair cut, drop myself to a facial, pick up Mr, rearrage the house because the carpenter built a wall to block off our balcony, view & lounge room (long story) - tried to rearrange to create space that isn't there. The peonies made everything bearable, so did dinner with friends and lots of lovely wine, only to wake up with a stinger of a headache and do it all again. A walk, a coffee, finish rearranging the house. A beautiful summery day, a picnic with stunning views, the making of some beautiful new cloud garlands. What did you get up to?

Mermaid

Wishing you a calm weekend. x

Pink Heat

Meet Brazil and these gorgeous roses. Yum! I found some awesome fluoro cotton at Spotlight in 3 colours and this one is threaded with the hottest of pinks.
