A couple from Halloween

Little P as psycho nurse, and our neighbour as a demonic dolly.

Thanks Ikea!

Some gorgeous textiles at Ikea - as always.

Had to update Little P's curtains, so I honoured the Japanese

style and made 3 panels.

Now honestly, if you have a choice, why would you live with blinds?

I haven't been inspired much lately as far as new textiles go,

but I really do need to get back to Ikea

and do a bit of a stock-pile!

spring in the city.

I don't think there's a prettier sight in the garden than

sweet peas growing!

These grew from seeds, and are so tall now.

I love the delicate, white flowers that form,

and then become a pea pod almost over night. I'm very much enjoying the garden at the moment.

It's the perfect time of year, we are all in need of a bit of rejuvenation!

It won't be long now before we have some

fat, ripe 'beetroop' (as Little P says) and tomatoes ready to eat.

I know it's a cliche, but things really do taste

better straight out of the ground, and it's so much

easier than going to the supermarket!

Rural retreat!

Big D and Little P designed a cubby house over the break.

It was so much fun watching them (well Big D) build it.

She's 'doing it up' now.

Stay tuned for some old style gingham curtains!

Time to sketch ...

Meet the 'Triangle Family'.

One of the best things about School Hols is

having lots of time up your sleeve in which to draw.

Little P has a series of characters she's working on,

in her sketch book. Her talent blows me away,

there is so much frivolity in her drawings.

I love the cradle in the above drawing,

with the 3 love hearts, 'it's for the baby triangle' and the moustache

on Mr Triangle.

Spring Break

Today is the last day of Term 3,

Little P and I plan on hanging out in our PJ's,

making lots of stuff together, as well as making each other laugh lots!

I haven't planned a lot of extra activities this break,

we need to recharge the old batteries.

It's very tiring this school lark!

1 thing on the 'to do list' is 'Despicable Me'.

I'll keep you posted along the way.
