Words and Pictures - Green

There is nothing more that i wish for this spring, than to be a porch monkey with my family in my uber comfy green deck chair..

and looking at our cool plants... not sure what they are, but they are most certainly cool.

Thanks meet me at mikes for this weeks words and pictures, its reminded me of the simple things.

Heres just a few of my favorite blues....

Inspiration overload AKA messy crafting desk syndrome

I've got too much stuff.. I know it, comes from attempting almost every craft known to man and then some. This is my sanctuary. I come here to craft, surf the net, get ideas, read blogs, dream, look out the window, eat breakfast... well, you get the idea.

will have to present an 'after' photo shortly..

where did that week go?

I'm the type of person (especially at the moment when its really cold and I'm really pregnant) that doesn't like to leave the house unless absolutely necessary.

what a turn around this week!

Saturday kicked off with my baby shower. we ate and played games, and ate, and chatted and ate some more!

Then came the presents... oh. my. GOD! it was like a baby store miraculously appeared, I am never going to have to go into a baby store ever again, which suits me down to the ground because I do tend to have tiny nervous breakdowns at all the options.. (cant they just have one of everything?) I have the best family and friends in the world! They all put in SO much effort into the day and the generosity was overwhelming.. Thanks Guys, love you heaps!

Tuesday night went out for dinner to Amoroma with the lovely 'Leura Girls' for Casey's Birthday! the food was amazing.. I could have had my chicken pesto pasta for breakfast lunch and dinner for the rest of the month... Tilly was the winner when she ordered the second most expensive dish on the Menu, ate 90% of it and then a tiny cockroach flew in onto her plate and landed her a free meal...lucky cow.

Wednesday Rob and i met up with our friends Kat and Matt for lunch in darling harbour, even though it was piss poor weather wise, was nice to have a little 'outing'

then Thursday met some cracking people at a crafty group in Lane Cove and learnt the art of English Paper piecing! cant wait for the next meeting, but will have to see if bubba holds off that long...

don't know about you but I'm exhausted just reminiscing... really need to keep up to date with this blogging thing, but with baby brain and time flying the way it is, i seem to be loosing some focus....

Black Cockatoos

While cursing at my curve hating sewing machine a flock of black cockatoos flew into our backyard and made themselves at home in one of the taller trees, just incredible!

Unbelievably destructive though...
think they ripped a fair chunk of the tree off in a very short period of time,
sounded like a hail storm!

A first!

After some serious inspiration from some other notable blog sites, and some extra time on my hands due to the impending bundle of joy, I've decided to start my own!

Full of little bit and pieces that i just LOVE, some creative exploits and the most important thing of all... family and friends.
