Little bits of Life...











High on the priority list - cosy spots, comfort food, family and fun.
(As it should be all year round but for some reason seems magnified in Winter)
We have been housesitting for siblings  - which gave us access to a wood fire oven, 
a Great Dane and two very cute kiddies. 
How lovely to have the usual routine shaken up a little. 
To be in a loving home and permeate the space with your own brand of fun and care. 
To help out family and have a wonderful time doing it.
(Hubby decided to welcome them back with some homemade Gnocchi - he's perfected it for sure)

Home now, and there is washing to tend to, ironing to curse lovingly finish 
(I started two weeks ago) and a multitude of domestic tasks which appear far from glamorous and have me shuffling my feet more than usual. I've lit a few candles, prepped an oil burner (lemongrass thank you very much) & turned on the bush radio. I still need to find vines for tonight's class - a reverse proportioned, light and airy cascading arrangement - eek! I've fed & tended to the chickens - rewarded with a MAHOOSIVE bum nut today(!) and I have only had one cup of tea... I promise.

Life is moving along at a snails pace today peoples.... but that's ok.

PS - Bucket list item #27 ticked off... Swan Lake.... Sigh

Love the little peeks into your world. And wow, and man who can make gnocchi, the ballet and a ginormous egg! What more could a girl want? ;D

What lovely moments you had. It all looks just divine...and would you please pass the gnocchi! Right now!
Swan Lake, sigh. I actually got to see Swan Lake when I was ten years old. It was the first time that I had ever been away from Hawaii. A long plane ride (9 hours in those days) from Honolulu to San Francisco, my very own purse and shoes by god on my always bare feet. It was magical.
