1. Proof of crafting. Chantelle, this one is for you darling. You're making me go old school whilst sans instagram (it's a long story, don' ask).
2. Lady Baby explorations. Don't you just love how little kids elbows aren't really elbows, more like joints covered in fat. I wish she's stay like this forever.
3. Constant problem post washing up/bathing kids/ cleaning shower. Solution- refrain from said activities.
4. Collecting treasures for the new baby's room. Econino is tried and true 'round here.
5. Making flower crowns for this little project. This one didn't make the cut.
6. Marigold, painting, painted pot.
7. A birthday 'reading' by a real illustrator. Lauren gave Pippi 'Magic Beach' as it was her favourite book as a child. We've read it about 6 times since, making it a favourite of ours too.
8. Felt confetti - the outcome of above mentioned craft session. Strung from our golden rooted $20k prehistoric tree (that just so happens to be completely ugly).
ahhh, the old mucky patch. aka the tummy that touches every wet thing it can find! not missing that at all! love each and everyone of these photos. looks like a beautiful week goneby. xx ashley
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh seeing that wet tummy! I went through many outfit changes a day doing the same thing or spilling stuff on my big round tum :)
ReplyDeleteLove that head piece. So pretty
hehe! maybe just get the kids outside and hose them down...and do the dishes like that too! Love the flower crown, it's adorable, as are squiggy baby elbows! have a delightful long weekend Em! xx

Love that crown, shocked it didn't make the cut.. and I rather like your 20k tree.. possibly not as country garden as you would like but still :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Photos Em. The Dragon Tree is one of the most beautiful trees ever!!!! We own many and I would dream to have one as big as yours :) Can't believe you think it's ugly!!!
ReplyDeleteO we love Magic Beach! Such a beautiful photo of a great story shared!
ReplyDeletemy friend has one of those dragon palm tree thingys in her front yard. i think its bloody awful but she loves it. wonder if she would sell hers for 20K. we love the magic beach book around here too. happy week to you x
ReplyDeleteWe were at Magic Beach last week! It's my favourite book too, such beautiful colours and also the fact it is a real place that we went on holidays made it better :)
ReplyDeleteemily as always your blog and pictures delight and inspire! i so wanted to join in this week but my laptop is down and out and has all my pictures on! so i am sitting on my husband's work laptop that's imageless and just soaking up all the beauty of your pictures and the lovely linkers instead! thank you and have a wonderful Sunday xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Em - your home and life look so warm and welcome-y
ReplyDeleteThat's one of our favourite books - I love reading it too
Such a full and creative week you have had! Absolutely loving your flower crown and your wet pregnant belly brings back so many memories for me. My pregnant belly caught many a wayward crumb. Happy days to you. Melinda x
ReplyDeleteI love how embracing you are of colour. Such a Frida :) I'm finally joining in! Have been meaning to for ages....x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images Em. I especially love the one of your friend reading to the lady baby, so precious, a truly special moment captured. Your bump is very cute, water soaked or otherwise xo
ReplyDeleteWe have one of those $20k prehistoric trees! Agree - ugly as sin. I would sell it in a heartbeat to pay for a new bathroom renovation, only problem is that it's been planted in a spot that can't be reached. Lovely pics Em.
ReplyDeleteLady Baby is just gorgeous. This is such a beautiful photo - a treasure to keep.
ReplyDeleteHi. I really love your blog. Maybe wanna follow each other?? Let me know :) XOXO

So much fun! I need to make some felt garlands once we're moved into our new place! Love the flower crowns and your photos of little bits of life are just gorgeous. The 'eat' art is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe tree is kinda cool...maybe embrace it's ugliness...for the sake of getting to have a fully expensive tree in your garden! ;)
