Community

Yay for you Kirsty...and this fun game and a great few new blogs along the way. I am slowly becoming involved in my own community close to home with holding workshops, inviting others into our home, my 'outside of the home' work environment, community arts and the lovely garden club. I do believe in community and if anything a healthy liason with neighbours although i am very conscious of the need for many who live in a small community as i do to respect their space and privacy. One interesting fact i might add there is that as some of my friends already know...we left the mountains a few years back to live by the sea and a really loved the anonymity that came with living in a much more populated area. That can be lonely for some i know.



Today though with this nasty dust storm we are all experiencing i hid inside....indulging in too many little things.....

Not much else to report here today.
Blowing a gale
Off to work

Thanks for calling in and have a lovely day :)x

Juggling

things a little this week. I am helping out a friend in her spice shop and feel a little robbed of time i thought i had. A little selfish i guess, but you know how it is when you thought you had time for this n that...however...squeezing in a few things each day before work.

Hanging this gorgeous old curtain in my spare room


Love the birdies


Taking down these very formal pelmets and curtains.
Not sure what i am replacing them with just for now.



No worries with privacy here...we are on acreage.



annnnd....wondering what to practice with these...a bit lame looking i think but good enough for a practice run. I am a very excited girl to be beginning my first ever quilt and learning a new skill. I have dreamt of making quilts for my girls for years now....very very excited...any tips??

for more soul filling yummyness visit Kirsty's

My Creative Space

...a mish mash of unplanned things

rehoming my Dahlias
they look a little sad and damaged here
but i'm sure it's all good

under a Chinese Raisin tree
temporarily

Finishing touches to a little frock coat
hard to see the gorgeous seed stitch
taken way too long
but loved every bit of it

unfinished business
which is not like me
(liar liar...you know the rest..)
which can wait for another day.

for more yummy creative, soul filled lovliness, visit Kirsty's
Happy Sunday :)

Snippets

of my veg. garden. A serious WIP....as the previous homeowners were a bit over zealous...we were left with a bush to clear....annnnd...ascertain what things were and where...as everything was so overgrown. We did eventually clear a lot and are now starting from scratch again. It was too hard to try to be kind and keep it all.

beautiful beetroot
being watched closely...gorgeous leaves ready to eat


our first Brussel Sprouts ......a bit exciting to see them coming along...although with the sudden warm weather ...well hot actually...then cool again i can only wonder what that is telling the plant to do...sigh

I just love the lovely tall elegant flowers heads that sway in the breeze as Coriander goes to seed.
Coriander belongs to the beautiful umbellifer family.
There are so many beautiful species.


I was wondering if any of my friends out there in blogland can identify this. I am sure it is a vegetable of some sort. Welllllll...i did eat some the other day. I'm still here...LOL...i guess a close up pic of the leaf would have been a good idea.

So...thats a little snippet of whats happening here...

But on another note i have had some very late fun retail therapy today for a Russian wedding tomorrow. Gee....talk about leaving it late. I thought i had it all sorted until i tried on the smart black pants i was planning on wearing only to realise they were not as smart as i remembered...neither was i it seems....hopefully someone will get picks of us tomorrow.....
...........love to you x :) Happy Sunday
