Here is another little glimpse into our week, through photos taken on my iphone...
Day 22/Jan 22 - Your shoes
Emily gave me these red shoes for Christmas, I love them and wear them all the time.
This gorgeous stack of tins is something that I remember very foldly from my childhood. Every time we visited my Nanna's home she had something home made and delicious for us to eat - hidden inside her stack of tins. Hers were green and this stack that I inherited used to belong to my Aunty. She had them in her hope chest and because she never married, everything was like new. I am thrilled to have them in my home and hope to start filling mine with more home made goodness this year too.
Day 24/Jan 24 - Guilty Pleasure
I must admit that I found this one a little difficult to decide what to photograph. You see, I don't drink or smoke, I rarely go out to eat or to the movies, so my only guilty pleasure I could think of was eating chocolate. Then I realised I do have one guilty pleasure - collecting Kenner blythe dolls. These dolls are expensive and I am sure the money could be better spent in other ways, but they really do fill me with so much joy and have brought such beautiful people into our lives too. So my guilty pleasure is collecting Kenner (vintage from 1972) Blythe dolls.
Day 25/Jan 25 - Something I made
It might be surprising to some but I don't have a lot of my stitched quilts and projects etc in our home. Our home is tiny with no storage, so my quilts, bags and projects all live at my teaching studio. There is one quilt however that I always keep near by, my scrappy log cabin quilt. I made this quilt using fabrics from all sorts of projects and all fabrics that I love. This quilt tells a story for me and I love it even more because of that. I hope to one day have the time to quilt it but for now, I am content to look at it and soak in the memories.
Day 26/Jan 26 - Colour
I adore colour and my home does have a lot of colour in it. Here is one corner of my home that is bursting with colour. It always brings a smile to my face when I walk by too.
Day 27/Jan 27 - Lunch
I was feeling super duper tired yesterday so had no energy to make myself something yummy for lunch. On the menu for me was a little plate of milk arrowroot biscuits spread with margarine - yum! Easy, and just a little bit yummy too.
Day 28/Jan 28 - Light
Today's theme was to take a picture of light. We have had SO much rain here lately that we are craving some sunshine (and dry weather too). So my photo is of my sky right now and the small amount of light that is peeking through all the rain and clouds in my backyard.
So there you have it, another little snapshot into my week. Next week Emily and Jasper start back at school, I think they are both super excited which is wonderful. We also return to piano and organ lessons, and are adding dancing back into the mix as well. My days are going to be full but happy.
I will be madly stitching too as I really really want to share with you my latest pattern that I am working on. I will pop some sneak peeks here and there and hope to have the pattern photo to show you by Friday - yay! I can't wait. Have a great week xx Janelle
