woo hoo - I did it.....




Flowers, colours, inspiration and the last day of a photo a day of August....

Well there you have it....I have just completed 27 days in a row of a photo a day.
I should have 31 days done and dusted, but remember I was 4 days late in getting on the wagon.

It has really forced me to think about my blog everyday, and try and take more photos of our everyday goings on. With Lucas I feel I took a photo every hour, and with poor Lachie - he is lucky to get a pic a fortnight!
So here are more flower pictures from the florist I was in on Sunday. You can tell spring is in the air with the orchids becoming more colourful and daffodils in bloom.

I love the cows udders too - so kooky and bright.

the colours of India......

I just love this pic, the detail in the painting is beautiful...
These girls did a wonderful job entertaining us over New years eve, poor things - it was freezing...
Cheeky monkeys that - were cheeky monkeys...

Bend it like Beckham, more chocolate biscuits and day 25 of a photo a day....

Another lazy day at home with a long sleep in the arvo. Now I will be awake until 2 in the morning, but I couldn't help myself I was so tired.
Just finished watching 'Bend it like Beckham' on the telly. It is such a fun movie, and it takes me back to my holiday in India 18mths ago - to all the colour and the saris.
I loved India, and hope one day I can get back there.....with a bigger suitcase of course!

real living....

Chocolate teddy bear biscuits, real living and day 24 of a photo a day....

Last birthday and Christmas I asked for a few of my favorite magazines subscriptions as a present.
It is so nice to walk out to your letter box and receive your glossy new mag all wrapped up in plastic - rather than having to go to the shops and get the kids out of the car.
I used to run inside and read them immediately, but over time I have got busier and busier so only get time to flick through a few pages at first, and then hope to finish it by the end of the week!
Real living is my favorite out of the bunch for it's easy read and great features.
It is so nicely laid out and has affordable ideas for every budget.

This months issue we had a little ad in the directory section page 189. So tonight I am sitting here on the couch, watching Sleepless in Seattle, eating chocolate teddy bear biscuits and reading the new mag.
There is also a yummy looking pasta recipe in there that I am going to try....or maybe cut out like I do with all recipes never to be seen again!

elephants and robots....



More accessories and day 23 of a photo a day....

I didn't have my car today (or yesterday for that matter), so I have been stuck at home while it was getting fixed and making stuff!
It is actually quite nice to sit in your pjs all day and not have to worry about fixing yourself up.....until you go check the mail and the neighbour who you have never met decides to drive out of her driveway and spots you in your purple with white dot pjs at 3pm! GREAT.
At least I have time to make stuff while the kids are asleep.
I'm fitting back into society tomorrow.
