The cracks in our dinner table are long, deep and wide. They grow a little longer every year.

I would never swap our table for nice new one because I love the flaw. It has character and it's not perfect.

I don't know why it is easy for me to find a flaw in anything or anyone and turn it into a strength, yet I can't do this to myself. I am constantly trying to hide my flaws either under the skin or very much on top.

I hope one day I can embrace my flaws.

Welcome to a new week. :)

holiday

Christmas is my favourite holiday.
Christmas could be called "comfort" in our home.
Good food, Ben's egg nog, making gifts, Christmas movies, laughter.
Comfort Christmas.

togetherness

Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am.

home made hand made

I love embroidery. I also love what I think about.....imagining ladies through the ages sitting with a round hoop and material, creating.

The same technique.

Years old.

mornings

I am so behind and I apologise for my absence. We have had lots of visitors. I looked at your photos everyday and I am blown away by how talented you all are. You are amazing and so nice.
We are lucky enough to live high on a hill surrounded by bush and tall trees. When the mist rolls in the early morning, I am always mesmerized by the view. It is still and peaceful. I love it here.

orange

I love making granny squares.

I have found that I have more orange coloured squares then any other colour, so it must be my favourite.

out of focus

Time. Always feels out of focus. Moving too fast. Please slow down.

who i see

The first person I see when I open my eyes is my best friend, Ben.

My rock, chef, handy man, gardener, bug killer.

abandoned

Our little dog got hit by a car and was killed instantly last night. I moved her kennel to near our stairs that lead under our house for storage. I figured it was best to put it away because our two toddlers keep asking where she is.
I walked outside this morning and saw her kennel sitting in the rain ready to be put under our house and it looked so lost. Truly abandoned.

where i live....

Melbourne, Australia is where I live.
I could've picked a beauty shot of our city, but to me, this is what my home is all about.
Old buildings, cold climate, green trees, big sky, platform stations, with my favourite transport - the train, carving a path to the city.
