finally!

my sewing machine is back and i've actually completed a work in progress...


i can't show you any more than this because it's a surprise...

for petite...

it's late...

but i'm in good company!

more next week, have a happy weekend...

intention...

well friends the spring-cleaning is progressing slowly but surely... i'm really trying to give thought to how we live and to organise our space accordingly... the book has been a great help and the website has some excellent resources too... oh and i want a chalkboard like blair's, just the thing for our kitchen...

the herb garden is looking lovely, complete with a little lime tree...
thanks dad!


right by the back door so i won't forget to water them...

works-in-progress remain just that, my machine has been out for repairs so it's been hand-sewing only... which is alright because it's that time of year...

i'm hoping it will ready tomorrow because i have a lot to finish this week, fingers crossed... happy weekend to you all...

procrastination...

spring-cleaning...

hello... what clever and sweet peeps you are, thank-you for your birthday wishes... i had a lovely day... i have been a bit distracted as my week was littered with routine medical appointments, thankfully all is fine but i still find myself nervy as anything when they come around... the words i wrote in my last post remind me to be present in each and every moment regardless of what it brings or where it may lead...

it seems strange to be reading of fall in other worlds...


here it is spring and while autumn is my favourite month i am ready to embrace the new season... those of you who know me will be aware that i edit a lot of myself away in this space... beyond the closely cropped shot there are lots of piles, messy piles, the kind that result from life being on hold...

so spring is in the air and i'm ready to get tidy...


this book is going to be my guide...

and on thursday a man with a green thumb is going to help us re-plant our herb garden...

and maybe we will plant some pretty spring flowers...
