Thanks to my lovely Mum (I think I’ve mentioned her before)… I have a great new pair of sandals! Incidentally it was my mum who bought my favourite boots… spoilt? maybe.

They are leather and soft and comfortable and soft and comfortable. With a slight heel for my high arches (bet you didn’t need to know THAT!).  Sure, they are kinda sensible, but I’m at that age & stage you know? I hope you don’t think my toes are wierd or my feet are gross or something. I didn’t think they were so pale! Here’s an outdoor shot…

I’ve had a great day today with a bunch of fabbo ladies coming over for cuppa/lunch/play. It was ace being around like-minded people, you know, people who understand why there’s stuff all over the dining table. There were three other girls around Zoe’s age, too cute!

Here’s an update on the strawberries, they are still alive despite Zoe’s best efforts to rip her brother’s plant. Little devil! The gremlin peering in the corner is Mr Tweetheart, bless him. They’re our bins in the background. noice.

Every cat I’ve known and loved has enjoyed sitting on a hot water service. Indi is no exception.

I hope you don’t find the different sized photos annoying. Let me know if you do and I’ll try harder next time! Sorry I haven’t announced the next give-away yet, I’ll do it tomorrow!

Ciao for now xox

What am I wearing today? A smile for one, the sun is shining and we’ve been out and about. Thank goodness for spring! I’m wearing a white top that I’ve had for ages and never wear. Same goes for the bracelet. Look how dry our grass is, this is after winter

I was thrilled to find a copy of Crochet Today in our local newsagent. This is the first time they’ve stocked it and I’m impressed. The projects within are modern and do-able. I think the crochet bug has bitten again, assisted by the woolly parcel I received in the mail from the Yarn Cafe. I adore the orangey colour, it will look gorgeous on miss Zoe, and is super soft woolganic, mmmmm. I’m saving the other one until I can knit properly (I know, I know, I just need to practise), because I find the strong colour changes look so much better knitted. I’m dreaming of being able to knit one of Tikki’s patterns, they are just beautiful.

I love the dirty little feet peeking into shot.

My second ever attempt at watcha wearing wednesday.

Not much going on today, a trip to the supermarket and a visit from a lovely friend. We’re going to do some sewing, yippee! Oh, and we now have an enormous caravan in the yard. I shall take some photos to share when it stops raining. I can’t wait to give it a good clean and start decking it out!

I totally love this necklace, given to me by two lovely friends this year for my birthday. The top/dress is a hand-me-down from one of those friends. How lucky am I?! The little diamond was given to me when I finished high school and got lots of As I think it was cheaper than the $50 per A, $100 per A+ bribe!

I wear these boots almost every day…

Today, I wish everyone a day of calm and happiness xoxo

So I mentioned a couple of days ago about my crisis of confidence in what I wear. I’ve thought about it and the problem is that I just don’t put any effort in anymore. We really don’t go anywhere fancy, but I would like to improve the way I’ve been dressing, because it does improve the way I’m feeling. Sooooo, I’m going to start joining in Watcha Wearing Wednesday, so at least on Wednesdays I’ll be more conscious. I’m not sure the best way to take a photo… Tate took this…

Pretty ordinary, I know, but I can only go up from here (I hope). Light cotton top bought in Kuranda near Cairns and favourite witchery jeans with daggy op shop jag cardi (didn’t wear this out) I promise something more exciting next week! With a better photo

I’ve decided to start a give away every week for as long as I’ve got goodies to give away (a long time, believe me). I’m thinking ‘Give Away Tuesday’ has a nice ring? I’ll sort out next Tuesday’s goody and include it in the blogtoberfest list. Exciting huh!! And finally, a 2 year old comedian to brighten your day. Thoroughly enjoying her cuppa of camomile, or perhaps just the camera… wearing her rainbow dress

Please note the santa mug they won’t let me discard   xox
