My place and yours: green

Green wall and my favourite green skirt totally crumpled and unironed, sorry Mum. And a beautiful super sweet bonnet for Sabrina made my the very talented Tabitha at Small Things which I can’t wait to try on my buba but can’t because she’s at her Grandma’s. Beware, expect a ton of posed bonnet photo’s come [...]


My place and Yours –Green

As part of our investigations into healthy food we decided to do a mini unit on food production and help grandma out with her veggie garden. We cleared a patch and under Grandmas direction and planted two different types of potatoes only Lilly insisted on writing out the labels so good luck to grandma figuring [...]


My Place and Yours-What’s on your fridge

Ok ya ready from top to bottom: Photo magnet of the Irwin family, it makes me sad whenever I get anything out of the fridge but Lani is loyal and won’t get rid of it. Yellow slip of paper holding the name and phone number of one of Lani’s friends obtained in the hope of [...]


My place & Yours- First thing in the morning

Firstly I would like to say “Yeah thanks for that!” I was all ready to be totally freaked out by my early morning appearance but seriously it’s not too bad. My hair is no more tatty than it is ten minutes after I brush it and a swarm of wheat-bix coated kids run their fingers [...]


My place & Yours- through the window

This is the view from my kitchen window. I can see my poor neglected easel sitting naked on the deck. Beyond that, at the bottom of the garden, the sometime florid Jacaranda tree melts into gold. Diminishing as the winter months strip her of her elegant attire. I can also see the roof of the [...]

My place & Yours – pre loved/thrifted/inherited

No the children aren’t pre loved or thrifted though you could say they were inherited as both Glenn and I used the genes we inherited from our parents to make them. The items that really actually do fit are: The bookshelf that used to live at my brothers house All the clothes (other than Lani’s [...]


My Place & Yours – Yellow

I am really not a yellow person. Not that I have anything against yellow loving individuals however I have always held the belief that they would be just a little too sunshiny to endure any prolonged contact with. All that beaming around the place could become grating after a while. But, I fully admit that [...]


My place and Yours – Favourite spot in the house

I’ve got to admit this one was not easily answered. I don’t really have any feelings of attachment to this place yet. I don’t feel like I have made this house my cave or left my mark on it, probably because it’s taken soooo long to remove all the marks that were already here. I [...]


My Place & Yours-What’s on your key ring?

I just realized something, I don’t think I ever throw keys out.   This cup is a sort of key ring for all the loose keys I have, non of them open anything anymore. Items of note, the coloured keys were a present for Glenn before we were married they opened my parents house before [...]
