the weekend

What glorious summer days we've had, it was sooo incredibly tempting to run away to the beach...

But then friends and family would have endure my 'i have no kitchen blah blah blah' winging for another 6 months. Thankfully progress was made this weekend.

slowly, slowly getting there...

Next time I won't announce my make overs - I'll just show before and after pics when it's done. Mind you, I warned progress photos would be few and far between. The sad thing is, it's not even a full renovation, just a facelift.. Like I said, we're slackers.

Still need to paint and I am on the look out for a kitchen island or breakfast bench.

Flying Birds by Naomi Murrell

Had a horrid start to the day. Lost my cool.. not good.

A big hug from the boy and these sweet flock of birds from Naomi Murrell squeezed a much needed smile out of me. Oh flying Birds why don't you come fly under my Christmas tree?

Looking forward to Whitley tonight..

good mail day

Lots of crafty inspiration for the silly season...

my lovely ladies

Apologies, for the lack of posts.

It's been a frantic week of milestone birthday celebrations for the beautiful ladies in my life: my big sister turned 30 on Wednesday & Mum turned 50 on Friday.

Festivities consisted of a sunny afternoon bbq with the extended family, and ghoulish halloween celebrations...

For the long weekend I went away with my sister and her friends to Apollo Bay for 3 nights. The rickety weatherboard house we stay in was situated on a 3 acre garden; it was like something out of a Jane Austin novel. The garden and additional guest house backed onto a river. Next door were a paddock of cows and a short 3 minute walk was the beach... Cute.
