I found out where my daughter got this mug from
so for all of you lovelies that asked it was Target.
.......................
I stumbled on a dragonfly in my garden
I planted some natives that made me go
oooooooooh.
Alot of natives make me go "
Blerk" so this was a nice surprise.
Speaking of natives, well locals, Mr Midas finally called us to say our car might be ready on Monday. We have been car-less for over a month and would have remained so if consumer affairs
didn't get involved. I have enjoyed being driven around by my Dad though. He is 77 and the last time he drove me around when I was an
angsty teenager and we both hated one another....
I was also
privileged enough to get a lift in
Elsie's little
Torana the other day and it took me back about 20 odd years. I love the sound and smell of old
Holden's, and yes, they do have a sound and smell. Elsie loves her little car to bits and one day she might show everyone on her
blog. Hint Hint
........
today I was also greeted by a mass of
Echium that just started to flower at The homestead. It was a stunning welcome back.
I also struck a deal with the Horticulturalist that we have on site and she is going to harvest the masses of Lavender plant heads for me if I provide a bag to put them in. If there was no one around I would have done a little victory jig, however it was a bit busy so I did it in my head instead.
And to top it off I received a comment from
Tea with Lucy to let me know that I had won her awesome giveaway. Brilliant!!!!!!!!
Now I am about to make a yummy
Twinnings Chai black tea and go to one of my sheds and ponder a very arty idea I have that requires a large
easel my mum bought me, some engraving tips for my
dremel that I imported from the US, a timber cupboard door donated by the woodies(1 of about 40) and some
gesso. As a grown up I am always too scared to get in touch with my "artistic" side because , well , I
don't really have one but it
doesn't make me any less passionate when I get an image in my head of what I want to do. That and I fear people seeing my work - like my daughter did one day to which she responded, "what the hell is that" CRUSHED I will persist though because seriously, the girl painted her room a blue that makes your retinas bleed so she aint no artist either.
Love you JazzyI hope your weekend is a fabulous one.
Cheers
