Our weekend. Pancakes for breakfast. Slow mornings. Beach time. Dancing. New dress. And daddy spoilt Moo with a little ‘cash register’ to join her kitchen and we created a new play ‘space’.
Read moreAnother hattie and some biking
So madam announces she want to go to the swing, so we duly get her bike out to head down there. She flies down, ‘super speedy go go’ as she calls herself. In her go fast green shoes. We get to the swings and she totally shuns them. Like totally. Its all about the bike…
Read moreThe Hattie Dress by BrownieGoose
So I actual went ahead and bought a pattern on Etsy, yup, a real actual professionally drafted pattern. PDF version (I”m not patient enough to wait for post). Actually I bought 3, but only have enough fabric to make one top at the moment. I’m busy recifying that situation, not enough fabric. Well hello Etsy,…
Read moreWet Felting Soap
I thought I’d do a very quick post in one of our current favorite things to do. And a good thing for christmas pressies. Wet felting soap is easy and great with kids, its messy but in a clean way, we tend to do it sitting out in the sun or at the sink. Take…

This weekend it rained, and rained, and rained, and just for fun, it rained some more, right into Monday too. Saturday we went into the city to get our new glasses, run errands and pop to the market. By the afternoon the rain has started so after a abortive attempt to get a coffee (all…
Read moreWeekending
We had another rain spattered weekend. Autumn is definitely here – the woodburner is on and we are back to the rhythms of welly boots, hats and woodchopping. Although I do miss the warmer weather I think there is something incredibly comforting in the season and the different patter that the darer evenings and mornings…
Read moreEaster and a fresh start
I have been putting off revising and jump starting the blog until the general look and feel is finished, but I’ve decided Easter is the perfect place to start anew and I need to get my butt in gear and JUST START BLOGGING. So Easter, umm yeah, its sort of a non-festival for me here….
