Sun-day

Yay the sun came out!
I sat on my doorstep in the fresh air reading and listening to Empire of the Sun, made pasta and took a before shot of my old couch, (hopefully it will be white very soon!).

Green

I really love green. Yesterday we went to Peppermint Bay for lunch for my brother's birthday, and after we'd eaten went for a bit of a wander while he went fishing, I found this little deserted cottage and it was so pretty and sooo green.

Sidetracked

I was sidetracked walking to work this morning, and ended up late for a meeting but that’s by the by really because the pink blossom was so pretty against the dreary grey sky, I just had to take a few shots. Listening to old-school new order (Here to Stay) on my ipod, it was one of those moments where I forget everything, so good for a weekday morning.

Toast - Home

More lovely Toast images this time from the Home catalogue, I absolutely love that sock photograph!

Making

Yet another Monday much sooner than I’d like! The weekend was a productive/making one, I love when that happens. Two new cushions (the little blue felt one was definitely inspired by that bag), and a batch of strawberry jam which was such a gorgeous pinky-red while cooking. This was only my third batch of jam and I think my fear of it burning or not setting is diminishing. Naturally I made scones yesterday for father’s day to load up with jam, and since I am very lucky to have two dad’s cheated and bought some of Michelle’s beautiful cupcakes at the market for round two. They were really good!

friday

Happy friday!
This week was a good one, I saw The Young Victoria which I really enjoyed. I'm a complete sucker for a period romance piece, and who knew prince albert was that appealing! I’ve been listening to the new Neil Finn 7 World's Collide album which is sweet, and why is it when you are saving you always find things you just HAVE to have, like this pretty blue bag on etsy (which has already sold!), and lots of new Poppies for Grace stationery - in particular the 2010 desk calendar.

Have a wonderful weekend

Spring

Today it's officially spring and happily the sun came out, although there is too much snow on mountain for my liking! I took these pictures in the park last week, from a distance the trees with the bulbs in rings around them were so pretty but halfway accross the lawn I discovered it was more bog than lawn!
