Just some of the partying that went on :))

A Quick Catch Up... from up over to down under

The cute little munster who wasn't so happy yesterday with his runny nose.  The first time he has stayed at Gramma's house on his own!  Will they come back and get me?

Today his sister has gone to Leduc and now he really doesn't know how he should take that?.... kind of funny without her here!  She is an ever present presence!!  And how she loves him!  Let her show him the many ways!

Family resemblance?

Contemplating in duo....... (is that soup coming or not??)

Mad Passion for Gnomes

I think the Wet Season may have finally done my head in.  I have developed a crazy urge to buy garden gnomes.  I was in luck when I found this yet to be named beauty at the Cheap Cheap and Cheaper store.

She will be a great meet and greeter

Nice addition while watching the sun go down.

See ya!

A little color to go with the coffee

I've found a great secondhand furniture shop here in Ingham.  Nigel and his shop partner are even kind enough to throw the cobwebs in for free.  They are super generous.  I seem to have lost the before pictures of this piece.   The orange used to be brown and the turquoise was white.  However, I need a lot more color in my life than that.  Especially when brewing the morning cup of coffee.

Watch this space.  The curtains in this joint are the next thing to get an overhaul!

 My studio happens to be in the space between the kitchen table and the couch.
Queensland Health doesn't really care for orange paint on their flooring.  Strange.

Anthroplogie is where I found these beautiful drawer knobs.  Love them.

Is it Noticeable??

This is my new look for running to pick up the mail and grabbing a few groceries.  I know how to make a fantastic first impression.  Spectacular!!  I guess the good news is I was wearing underwear...
