The Vanishing Boy!
This is just so strange that I had to take a photo of it. My eldest has taken to laying out his clothes, as above, when he’s getting undressed for a bath. We have no idea why. I walked into his room and saw this! It reminded me of the Wizard of Oz when the…

10 Years!
Today my darling husband and I are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. Wow I chose well, I could not imagine life without him and look forward to the next 10, 20, 30 and maybe even 40 years. I know, a little too sappy but definitely true. This photo is of the bouquets carried by myself…

A Camera in the Hands of a 5 Year Old
My eldest has discovered the camera recently which is really funny because at the same time he’s snapping these my two gorgeous Atlanta friends had just sent me samples of their girls’ photography efforts. Here are a few of his shots. These are my favourites from the 75 odd that we got off the camera…

ANZAC Day
Yesterday was ANZAC Day and the first time my boys have seen an ANZAC Day march. My eldest was very curious about it especially as it involved lots of talk of soldiers and war! It’s a little bittersweet for my father, who lost his own father in WWII. I know he spends a lot of…

Not My Kind of Stitching
This is my darling husband’s head after a very brief encounter with the garden shed door – no prizes for guessing who won! Due to the copious amounts of blood gushing from his head I called an ambulance – wouldn’t you? They arrived, inspected the damage, pronounced him to be fine and then unsuccessfully tried…

Cushion Towers
My youngest (he’s almost 3) has started created towers/installations around the house using anything he can find. The top picture was one of his creations using almost all the cushions and pillows in the house. That’s his little hand you can see! This started me thinking how much I love cushions. They completely change the…

Quilt Cave
My quilt is finally finished and ready for use. This was my sensible 2nd project, just squares in squares using lots of fat quarters from my ever increasing stash. The top has been sitting in a box for the last year and my dear Mum had it quilted for my birthday and then she did…

Summer Swings
It has been so hot in Canberra the past few days. A favourite after dinner pastime for the boys is to sit on the balcony, eat ice blocks and get pushed in the swing. This little swing is suspended from the rafters of our balcony, so the boys fly out into the garden and say…
