Food Inc

If you haven't watched 'Food Inc' it's imperative that you do. The movie needs to be watched by anyone who shops at a supermarket. here is a click to get you started and you can watch the rest on YouTube.

Picnic

Our first picnic of the year what a delight to sit in the sun and soak up vitamin D.

Belle

Missy is crazy about 'Beauty and the Beast' she watches it every day on youtube. The other day I found some yellow satin and decided to make her a Belle dress. Disney princess has only just began her reign in our home but I can foresee many years of her dwelling here.

For free

Joseph was walking to work the other day and saw this mirror by the side of the road he asked the owners if he could take it and they were happy for him to! it's extremely heavy and huge and extremely wonderful. we haven't decided where to put it but I love it to bits.

clippers

Dollar store flower, my own button and a curl clip 30 seconds later it's a pretty hair piece.




Ok, so I need to work on Indi's hair length.

Easter weekend

Easter weekend has been great (apart from my stinker cold) we've had amazing weather +25 temps (last year it was -3 and snowing!)
We invited two families for Easter roast (which I couldn't taste) and I decorated the table in bright spring colours, racing green and white. Each place setting had a vile of flowers and an Easter chick. I really enjoyed this table. I think Joseph and I have realised that we work really well together then it comes to entertaining it's coming our thing. He loves to cook and I love to set the scene so between us we love the experience of prepartion as well as when the company arrives!

yummy

I found this lovely velvet dress in a charity shop age 7-8, Missy was swimming in it do here is a shot of it (inside out) before I did a number on it and sized it down to fit her. what a gorgeous colour (I wish it fit me).

Little chicks

Easter! Another reason to do something. And here is my something.
I managed to find enough ingredients to make a batch of little chicks cookies and got them wrapped this afternoon in mauve and purple paper and ribbon. still need to deliver them but at least they are done!
