I read an article, the other week, about how the “baby brain” phenomena is real (duh, says every mother in the world), and it can last up to TEN YEARS. That explains an awful lot, really. My memory is terrible. Random trivia I can remember no worries, but book myself a haircut and if it’s not in the diary within 5 minutes, it isn’t happening.
My editorial calendar tells me today I should be talking to you about Project Life and where I’m up to. Which would be all well and good if I actually had something to show you that was different from last month’s update. I am hoping to make the most of the long weekend and get three months (*blush*) worth of photos printed and into the
This week I am: Reading: Tina Fey’s BossyPants, Make Good Art Listening to: this mashup on repeat Making: bags. So. Many. Bags. Eating: Cadbury’s Salted Caramel Chocolate. No I haven’t tried the vegemite one. Nor do I plan to, because I don’t hate myself that much Planning: a roadtrip and more projects than is humanly possible to fit into the next five weeks Enjoying
My mojo goes in fits & spurts. Sometimes I just can’t find a groove in anything, and I have nothing to share. Or I have been working on the same thing and if I’m sick of seeing my ripple blanket every day then I’m pretty sure no-one else wants to see it constantly either. Then there’s times like now, where my ideas are like a
Last week, I got a lovely comment from a reader of my previous blog, who had missed moving along on my move firstly to self-hosted, and then on to this new identity, and was wondering where I’d disappeared to. She mentioned she was glad to find me but self-hosted was frustrating as she liked to follow blogs in the wordpress reader. I knew I’d followed
Oh MAN, what a week! After Easter, when Mr Barefoot was back at work, and the school holidays were well under way, the small people absconded, all four of them, to my parents place, leaving me with a delightful 2.5 days to myself. So. Much. Fun. I did also have big plans to clean the studio,
It was one of those ideas I had been sitting on for a while. I’d even created the instagram account for it. A little pop-up shop, with a bit of whatever was tickling my fancy at any given moment. I have for a while been planning on splitting my Etsy shops, one into my main product, one as an “outlet store”, so to speak, with
In the early days, I’d stand over her cot, watching. A bed full of pink blankets and pink onesies and pink swaddling and tiny little pink face, peaceful as she slept. Her brothers rowdy and bouncing just outside the door, and with just a finger to my lips, they would tip toe in, and creep up beside me. Propping one on each hip, I would
Ever since I was a small girl, I have been enchanted by The Secret Garden* (or on Kindle*). So I let out a little squeal when I realised it was the block for February. Even better was I was not long down the rabbit hole that is a new webseries, with The Misselthwaite Archives having captured my attention on YouTube – to the point I would
It has been one of those weeks. I had big plans for today’s post, but alas, it was not to be. Instead I’m sewing with my girl. I’m cuddling my boy. I’m going out to lunch with the mister. This afternoon I will art with my babies & we’ll all snuggle & watch a movie & then it will be the weekend to rest &
