My present to Ben

It was our second wedding anniversary the other day and I got this cute idea from Real Living Magazine. It was so easy to make and Ben thought it was pretty cute too.

Oh yes, stitching is my new friend.

What a wonderful craft - so easy to do after you know just a few stitches and you can make your creations as pretty or cheeky as you like. Imagine a wall of hoops - or a cute couplet from your favourite poem as a gift to a loved one... or maybe a really big one with 'Merry Christmas' as a stitchy take to a christmas wreath...

Hmmm, I think I'm going to try something a little kooky.. I'll let you know what I come up with!

Happy Friday!

I just found these photo's and I had to blog them because they make me happy! After all it's Friday.

Isn't that last pic a great idea. Imagine all the inspirational little quips you could present like that!!

PS. All pics from Joyful Living blog. Very joyful and one of my new fave's.

Holidays are so wonderful x

Ahh, let me take a deep breath and remember the smell of that sea air..... My holiday was too short but long enough for me to slighty unwind and really reiterate to me all that is important in life. That being  - eating gelati at least twice a day and having a nap in the gentle sea breeze after lunch each day with my gorgeous husband. After a quick dip in the ocean, taking a walk along the river or beach and having an evening picnic watching the sun go down. Are you with me?? It was total bliss. And it had me pouring over real estate up there and pondering what work I could do ...

I have a few snaps..

that's me sitting along the Noosa river

This is Eumundi, a charming little town, only about 15 mins from Noosa with fabulous markets each Wednesday and Saturday.

This was a gorgeous store I found in Eumundi, packed full of children's crafts. It was totally delicious!

So, my promise to myself, to keep the holiday vibe is -

Time can slow down if you want to. Spend time doing the things that you love. Turn off the TV. Drive down to the water more often. And start working on creating the job that I want...

My blog and all your lovely blogs are definitely helping me piece it all together, I just need to start doing (in a relaxed way)!

Can't wait to catch up on everyone's blog!

I heart crochet

Having an  awesome time on my holiday. Trying to decide whether to hire some jet ski's tomorrow or go on one of those adrenalin power boat rides....

But, when I'm not running around, swimming, relaxing and getting a little bit burnt without meaning to (thanks to my pale skin), I've been practicing my crochet. These pics above have got me inspired! How great is that blanket on the bed!! Love it.

I'll have what she's having

What does a girl have to do to get that twinkle in her eye?

Absolutely, Elizabeth Taylor is knock out beautiful, but it's her eyes in this picture that made me linger.

Colour me pretty with flowers

Give me undone, eclectic colourful interiors anyday!

I'm going on holidays to Noosa tomorrow. It'll be so fabulous to have a little mini break by the beach. Not sure whether I'll have net access, I'll keep you posted.
