Friday Snippets...

good morning!

 

i'm just quietly celebrating friday here.

it's queen's birthday weekend

so a long one for us with monday off work for mr w...and some of the boys.

 

it has been a normal week here...

no new babies

no falling down steps

or other nonsense...

thank goodness.

 

so i've just put together a few photos to capture

a normal week here...

 

 

..snuggling up warmly and comfortably

is popular at night here in front of the tv or computer...

 

 

 

 

 

...a bit more knitting has been done

over the past couple of days.

{ a beach ladies beanie actually??}

 

 

 

 

there's always washing up to do every day...

but the oranges are lovely freshly picked

from an orchard just up the road a bit...juicy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i love my new black tempered glass 'black board'...

i bought it yesterday from aldi...only $14.99.

i think it's a bargain..

my new toy.

 

mr m was very efficient putting it up for me...

he did a great job and it only took him 5 mins!

 

what's going on at your place?

 

have a great weekend!

ps...some of you think we have baby kai here...unfortunately location wise he is in taiwan and we're in australia.  skype and email are our best friends!

 

 

 

 

 



Before & After....

good afternoon!

thanks for coming to look at my lounge room yesterday,

it was lovely to get all that positive feedback...

i appreciate every single comment.

it was actually mr w

that came up with the idea of filling the space above the cushions on the chinese chest...

have a look at the 'before & after'

and see what you think.

this is looking through from the dining room...

a night view..

{so the light is different from yesterdays shots}

before

the painting is on the wall.

after...

what do you think?

is it too long?

or the frame too bold?

or just the wrong colouring?

i can change the cushions...

i think i'll have to live with it a few days to decide properly.

here is a close up of the painting...

mr s's fiance's mother painted it for me as a gift.

it shows two little birds in a wisteria vine.

all the kids are back at school up here in queensland...

this morning the shopping centre was school kid free

and i had a relaxing cappucino at gloria jeans

with a piece of raisin toast.

i seriously had to give away eating so much banana bread

as it is the equivalent of eating four slices of cake ..i think!

whether you are surrounded by holidaying kids

or back to 'normal'...

i hope you're having a splendid monday!
