now we are three {almost}


reorganising miss a's room has been on my to-do list for some time now,
you can see that the granny squares blanket is not actually finished, but i'm halfway there...

the solution in the meantime is a rather sweet and worn bought quilt,
add some pieces from ikea {have i mentioned how i love ikea}and it's starting to come together...


and i figure you are never too young to start an inspiration wire,

so it's back to the granny squares, more room pictures here...

happy friday!

friday...


I must confess that I'm struggling with this not so little blanket. It's probably something to do with the riot of colours and having to surrender to what I think should be the random nature of it {for it to have a truly vintage look and feel} In any case I'm pressing on because I'm enjoying having a little bag of crochet always at my side. I'm comforted by the rhythm of the stiches and I like the overall effect when I blur my eyes, and really overall effect is where I'm at with this one so it's all good.

a week of days...


I try to take at least one photo every day, the act of which cements a moment in my mind. The way the light falls, the memory an object conjures.

Of meaning to me and yet open to interpretation in a wider space.

This is Saturday...

movement...


was it really a good idea to start clearing out the garage at 5.00 on Monday afternoon??? well, it's a start... you can see I've made progress in the kitchen, i do love to see the plates stacked up. (can you spot the ikea?)

we spent yesterday with the delightful daughters of a dear friend... miss a adores these girls, and you know i had a great time supervising the baking,


and throwing together some last minute souvenirs of our crafty day...



and because it's wednesday,

revisiting this image of my favourite japanese bowls, it's the largest of a set of three and i usually keep them nestled together on our dining table...


more often than not they are, by the end of the day filled with this and that, a snapshot of our day...

and now back to the clean up,

i might be a while...

and a tiny corner of my home to end the week, for now my version of the inspiration wire (a real one coming soon i hope) i love to change this little spot each month inspired by mav's beautiful letterpress...


...further to the Green & Blacks discussion, rennae mentioned in the comments that she had seen it at coles and indeed it does appear to be available at the couple stores i checked, all in the name of research of course...
