to explore...
to climb...
to breathe...
for spending time...
bike rides...
and priceless conversation between brothers...

my creative space...

things are completely out of anything that resembles routine over here. Well, except that the boys have gone back to school & kinder after thoroughly enjoying the break.  Hubby is still home for another week & a bit and I just can not seem to gain focus on anything!
My creative space is all hodge-podge, finishing off little projects here & there, dabbling in a bit of thrifty furniture restoration, playing with mismatched cutlery, metals & tin cutting..but not much to show for it just now..

I am hoping the rhythm of life returns quickly & that inspiration strikes very soon to knock me off my feet, for this feeling of being all out of wack is really quite unsettling. 

In the meantime, it's tools down while I jump on my bike & take a leisurely ride in this glorious sunshine with my man...

Kirsty is back today with loads more creative spaces over  here...

it's been ages...

school holidays are in full swing, hubby's on holidays too so we've been gardening, cleaning, tidying up & getting ready for our long awaited paella party that, as it turned out, didn't happen.  Hubby did 'something' to his ankle, we're still awaiting news on the extent of damage there, so now we have a very orderly house FULL of food and nothing much to do but sit back & enjoy it, nice!
I've been having fun with thrifted platters, turning them into fancy blackboards..
The big boy spent the last week with Nan & Pop, always a favourite place for him to while away the days..

The other two have been busily building the biggest lego kingdom ever, staying in pyjamas till lunchtime, having light saber duels, playing in the yard, fighting a little but they can't stay mad at each other for long, and just hanging about enjoying some down time..

We've no grand plans for the rest of the week, which I'm quite happy with, though I do have some orders to finish off before Easter that I must get busy on.  It's funny how the routine & rhythm of everyday just fly out the window when the Mr is home! 

I hope it's a wonderful week for you all! X

my creative space...

I know, another neckwarmer!!  This time I was completely inspired by the big wooden buttons I found at the op-shop...
and the wool is so luscious...
and lots of fun ways to wear it...

loads of creative good things over here...

...

grateful for hugs with my big boy...
it's going to be hard to top that today...
sillyness and laughs over breaky, watching him in the backyard absorbed in his magical world, and a rare opportunity to take his picture without too much resistance...
