Making me smile.
Wowzers, what a crazy time of the year! So many lists, so much to remember and so much to do. And of course with that comes so many things to hold on to, so many things to cherish and so many things making me smile. Here are a couple of things making me smile today:
Casting off The Acacia pattern (above), trying it on Miss Pepper and her wearing it constantly ever since. I still haven't darned in the ends or blocked it. Raveled here.
Being invited into Jazzy's class to help them make and then outfit some teddy bears. I thought the teacher wanted me there to teach the kids how to do it all, when in fact she wanted to let them loose with the piles of materials. You should have seen the magnificent creations they came up with.
The star shaped garden kitchen garden beds outside the front door waiting to be filled and then planted out. No more driving down to the paddocks for a lettuce, hooray. Watching the boys work out the exact angles of each garden bed using an iPhone app.
A woman coming up to me in the super market last night telling me I was pushing her shopping in her trolley. Looking over and seeing Bren and the girls with our trolley hysterically laughing at me.
The wonderful and inspiring happy lists that keep being added to the list. Go and read a couple if you get a chance, or even better write your own, its amazing how contagious happiness is.
Telling the girls off for something and having that crazy cat (iPhone app) repeating everything I say in a silly voice.
Liam getting the ute bogged in the paddock in the middle of December!!!!
Two more lots of school lunches to make.
Sooooooo many slow summery days ahead of us.
Berries and Willow's pregnant belly and knitting commissions and sneaky tours of the new school classrooms and blue skies and salads and plans and coffee....................................................
Have fun out there. XX
