Winter Garden

Our winter garden is looking a little bare,
 most of the leaves have fallen of the trees.

We have large piles of decomposing autumn leaves everywhere,
I could sweep them up, but I kinda like them.

Hot pink flowers are starting to bloom,
they make my heart sing.

The rosemary bush has the prettiest little
 purple flowers,

& I still walk around bare foot in winter,
which is crazy because it's so cold outside.

I love my little girl, 

she is such a crack up,

full of personality,

and beans

I see so much of myself in her,

all the good bits,

I love watching her grow,

I'm one lucky mama.

shopping trip

After making hair clip orders all morning, I stepped outside wearing my favourite scarf.  I have had this scarf for many years, it warm, soft and chuck, I love it.

My beautiful sister Megan, had the day off work so she came around to visit this afternoon. She had the fantastic idea to go shopping, taking all three kids with us. We end up in Spotlight (craft store) buying gorgeous Dupioni silk so that I can make some rolled fabric flowers. I can easily spend hours in Spotlight, and always come out with more creative ideas in my head.

Over the last few years, I have been making my sister one of a kind headbands. When she wears them out, she gets stopped by strangers asking her were she got her headband. Megan has been trying to talk me into making a women's range for a little now. She was very insistent that I gather supplies and make some designs and put them on my website so that her friends have a place to buy them.

Poor Phoenix missed out on having his picture taken. Has has developed the very bad habit of running off when ever I take my iPhone out before I can snap a shot. But here are my girls, Alex and Skye. Megan and I were exhausted after our little shopping trip. Having three kids with you, seems to make you more tired than if you went shopping alone.
