Sholto received this toy for his birthday at the beginning of the year. I've been surprised how much he loves and plays with Sirius. I like it when kids surprise you :)
Happy 'oh my god I so didn't think you would like that' day.
Luv Soul.
Another day, another tote. I'm really happy with this one :)
The white denim is recycled from some pants, the soft grey was once a skirt, the blue denim..more pants and the doily..well, was a doily.
I couldn't resist taking a pic in the little autumny tree beside the clothesline, the leaves are just gorgeous at this time of year. Living is such a warm climate not many trees turn golden and drop their leaves.
No more totes..today is definitely a bib making kinda day. Will post bib creations soon.
Happy autumny leaf days.
Luv Soul.
Mummies Day!! What better way to celebrate than to buy a new baby!
Sholto's baby is affectionately named Cove..he tends to sleep a lot, while Ambrosia's baby is a full-blown, trial-a-baby-test-run model (she is very expensive and very borrowed). These sophisticated machines are actually used in schools to give young people a little taste of babydom. Lily-Rose has three settings..easy, medium and difficult. Her bottles and nappies have a little implant so that a computer in her chest can register feeds and nappy changes. If she is not comforted within a specified time frame the computer registers neglect.
The kids have been cruising around all weekend in full baby love mode...sooo cute. I am so lucky to be living with my neice and nephew...they are getting so big!
The second love mode involved our gorgeous mummy, who came for a little visit in the afternoon. Trudi (sis), Dave (partner) and I baked up a storm. Our first magnificent dish is one of our mumma's favourites, delicious custard slice topped with creamy passionfruit.
Much shelling of peanuts, carrot slicing, corriander shredding, rolling, rolling and we whipped up a couple of trays packed with vietnamese rolls...mmmmmmmmm. I didn't get to snap a pic of them because we ate them sooo fast!
Happy Mummy Love!
Luv Soul.
Here is a little brooch to adorn a friend's bag. I love the little bunny button. I've had some bunny buttons sitting around for years and I'm so happy that I finally used one!
If you own a brooch now is the day to wear it!
Luv Soul.
I spent a little of yesterday staring, I stare a lot when I concentrate. Lucky for me there are new flowers starting to bloom in the garden and I've got something pretty to stare at! The tiny broken egg was found by my sister while she was out walking and my neice brought this little smooth stone home for me from the creek at her school.
I love it when kids rummage through their school bags for five minutes to pull out something random just for you.
While not starting into oblivion I made this deep, deep tote (perhaps for my friend Natanya). She has put in an order for a deepy that will fit lots of uni text books and if she likes it this little (actually big) one will be choofing off to uni with her everyday :)
Happy staring.
Luv Soul.
This little bearded dragon is known as the lovely Diamond. I think some of our neighbours are beginning to think we are starting a menagerie over here.... a backyard full of chickens, 3 ducks, 2 dogs, 1 cat and 2 lizards. I have to say I've probably had times in the past with more pets.
The lizards have quite a few special needs, but they are gorgeous and very interesting pets.
The other lizzie is affectionately known as Bossy, not that he/she is so bossy, just a lot bigger than Diamond. I am pretty sure this is another photo of Diamond.
Happy pet days.
Luv Soul.
Introducing Faisal.
Faisal has a wicked sense of humour and is often very cheeky. He loves trampolines, lemon tart, chai lattes and cheeky children. Faisal really dislikes brown banana and raw egg in milkshakes...ewwwww. When he's old enough he wants to visit a fire breathing dragon in a castle.
Dubois loves climbing mango trees, black coffee and custard tart. He really doesn't like atomic wedgies and sesame street. When he is all big and brave Dubois wants to marry a penguin in the Bahamas while eating boiled snails and wearing only earrings.
Happy weekend (long weekend for some..yay!).
Luv Soul.
