<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">an utterly pointless, yet utterly darling floral pic </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">so to start, i thought i'd just mention that i have indeed still misplaced my camera. i've been mentally retracing my steps,trying to remember when i last used it, but my brain isn't co-operating with me. i'm pretty sure i haven't lost it out and about, or that it's been stolen... no,no. i think it's in my house somewhere. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">which leads me to...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">my super messy house. i'm not the tidiest of people on a day to day basis. sure, i can tidy my house with only an hour or less notice if someone is coming around to visit. pretty well too! but daily it seems i can live in a comfortable mess. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">but my house at the moment is terrible. because i don't have a sewing room, my dining table is currently being used as a sewing table, the surrounding floor and chairs have stacks of fabric on them, my ironing board for said sewing is in my lounge (the closest available power point), the ironing board has finished sewing projects on them, my couch is covered in things to go into ollie's room (and mine) and i have my old tv sitting next to one of my lounge chairs while i figure out what to do with it. all of this is not including ollie's toys and debris. even i am embarrassed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">which leads me to...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">what i have just been doing. i thought i'd get stuck in and start with today's dishes. after that, i wiped the benches. then i noticed a patch on the walls were a bit grubby. before i knew it i had scrubbed my kitchen window sill, the walls, all of the cupboard doors, my oven, the fridge and the benches. i even got out the cotton buds to get into the hard to reach spots.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">did i need to clean my kitchen this much? probably</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">did i need to do this before the rest of my house got tidied? definitely not</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">am i too pooped to do any other housework tonight? i think so</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">but boy, oh, boy my kitchen looks lovely.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">if only i could find my camera to take a pic of it...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

i made this last night for a friend who is having a birthday on saturday. (it's a memo/grocery list thingy ma jiggy. basically some pretty paper framed in a cheap frame. add a whiteboard marker and a duster. that's your tutorial) so technically it's not being added to my home. but i have been testing it out because i want to make one for my kitchen. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
oh, and this. oh me, oh my. this paper is over 50 years old and is part of two large pieces that my nana would re-use every year to wrap my mums christmas presents in when she was a girl. when me and my sister were born, nana gave the two pieces to my mum and she began to use them to wrap presents in for us. she would re-use them every year, eventually only using ribbon to tie the paper. the pieces became so fragile and papery-thin that mum stopped using them, but she gave them my sister and myself to own. and so recently we had a portion each framed, and a surprise piece framed for mum. i love how they have turned out, im gonna treasure this wee beauty for ever!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
thanks for looking around my house,stop on by again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
maybe you could show me around your house sometime, you could show off some of your new acquisitions!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
i really like receiving mail. actually, not all mail. i'm not a huge fan of bills or those silly letters</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which make me squeal quietly with excitement, only to discover it's some company trying to sell me something. those are silly, silly letters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but real letters, well, they are just lovely. there's nothing better than discovering these in the letterbox, and curling up somewhere comfy to open and read them. usually with a cup of tea nearby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i think in order for me to receive more letters, i need to send more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and so that is just what i intend to do. i am going to write more letters. if you would like me to write you a letter as well, let me know! or get on the letter band-wagon as well. spread some happiness today and make someone smile with a letter.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> ollie turned five today! i've tried to start this post about a hundred different ways, but it seems i can't put into words exactly what i want to say about him to make you understand how incredible i think he is. i can't imagine where my life would be today without him in my life, and i feel truly blessed to have him. i love him more than anything in the entire world, i love him tums and tums and the sky plus one more. it's some pretty big love going on here. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">it has not been an easy road, especially raising him on my own, and even though my patience has worn thin on numerous occasions, i remind myself how much of an amazing kid i have. he brings me breakfast in bed, is my own personal dj and plays my music for me, gets me his blanket if i hurt myself, crafts with me, has adopted my love of jigsaws, eats my dinners (mostly) no matter how much they suck, does silly things with me and loves me always. he's pretty cool. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and as i left his school today after dropping him off for his first day, bawling my eyes out, i realised he's growing up, and although i may not have appreciated every moment i've had with him, i'm going to try my hardest to do so in the future. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">i love you ollie, you are amazing and continue to amaze me and make me proud.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">love you hun-bun</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">i can't believe this day came around so fast, but yesterday ollie had his 5th birthday party! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">ollie chose to have a yellow party which was super fun, but more importantly, super easy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">he had five friends come around (which in hindsight was such a lovely number of children), and my parents and a few of my friends came along too. i kept the party to two hours, and kept referring to a list i had made of estimated times for each activity, which seemed to work pretty well. (one of probably seven different lists i had made leading up to the big day, ha ha)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">the kids played a few classic games - pin the tail on the donkey, pass the parcel, statues, sad kitty and ollie smashed up the pinata. but what was super great was the kids seemed to entertain themselves in the down times. they made up a few 'dancing' games, went outside and kicked a ball around, and went bug hunting with one of ollie's new presents.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">the decorations i made were pretty simple. yellow is such a great colour for parties and so i had balloons, home-made pom-pom garland,home-made bunting outside, a tiered cake stand i spray painted yellow, tooth-pick toppers (i can post a tutorial later if you want me to!) and yellow themed food. told you it was easy! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">to eat we had yellow lollies, chips and crackers with dip, sausage rolls, plain cookies with shades of yellow icing, lemon slice, banana, banana chips, juice and banana milk. okay, so not the healthiest of birthday spreads, but it's a party, right?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">and the cake. i'm pretty proud of the cake! although he didn't know what the cake would be until it was brought out, ollie saw a robot among other things in a cake book i have, and i knew it would be perfect. I wanted to confuse him a bit so i made the robot grey but when he cut into it, it was bright yellow inside! i used (quite a few) boxes of Betty Crocker cake mix (thanks Betty!) and added gel food colouring to get a sunshine colour. i forgot to take pictures of the inside though! sorry!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">ollie seemed to have a fantastic time, and his friends did too i think. after his friends went home with their home made goodie bags made by my friend julia (above, holding baby florence) i hung out with ollie and my friends having an extremely well deserved glass (or three) of wine.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">ollie has his last day of kindergarten on monday which will be emotional, his birthday and first day of school on tuesday, and his dad and paternal relatives are visiting on thursday. phew! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">a busy week, i'll post again later in the week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">love to you all,</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
i have been good lately. very good. please let things run smoothly over the next few days. please let my cake rise splendidly. please give me enough air in my lungs to blow up many, many balloons. maybe you could change the weather forecast and make it sunny for saturday so we can smash up a pinata? and while you are at it, please help me remember this year which layer in pass the parcel is the last one so that the birthday boy can win the last prize. helping me ensure the food is delicious would be great too. delicious food is important i think. as is a bottle of wine for at the end of the day. maybe you could help nudge my brain in remembering to pick one up, cos i will surely forget. i'm starting to stress a little bit, and even though the birthday boy won't really care what goes on as long as there is cake and a couple of games, i want everything to look awesome and run even awesomer. remember there is only one of me putting this show together, so your mystical help would be muchly appreciated.</div>

<div align="center">
so maybe my next post won't be until after his birthday party/kindy party/first day of school/all the other birthday stuff we'll do. i'm sure you will forgive me?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
what are you up to this saturday evening? here's what i'm up to:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm putting music onto my computer and i'm listening to florence + the machine on said computer. i'm watching a big monarch caterpillar, two medium sized monarch caterpillars and two teeny monarch caterpillars eating their yummy swan plant on my dining room table. i'm wondering if there is enough swan plant to go around and thinking maybe i should buy some pumpkin for them to munch on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm looking around my tidy lounge and feeling quite pleased with myself for the good job i did cleaning and tidying today. at the same time i'm looking quite sternly at the basket of washing waiting patiently to be folded, wondering why on earth it won't learn to fold itself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm eating raspberry flavoured rock candy from my friend's wedding and debating with myself as to whether or not i really need the last bottle of peachee bundaberg in the fridge. i probably do need it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm thinking about ollie's upcoming birthday. i'm searching online for party inspiration. i'm wondering if the effort that i put into his parties is for his sake or mine. or both. i'm feeling quite sad that he will be five. however, i'm cherishing the picture of me he drew today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm wondering what might be on tv to fill in the rest of evening. i'm wondering what i currently have on the needles that i can work on. i'm planning on writing a list of all the crafting projects i have to complete in the next few weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm waiting for a text from my lovely lovely friend to tell me she has gone into labour. then i'm waiting for a text from her husband to say she's had her baby. this probably won't happen tonight. but i would like it to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

we went to an awesome meccano and lego exhibition on easter sunday. there were some amazing machines that had been built, areas where you could make your own meccano creations, and some gadgets that you could use yourself.. ollie managed to win himself a chocolate bar by operating an arcade-type claw grabbing machine (i'm sure there's a proper name for it!), and he made a pretty cool spirograph-type picture as well. but by far, ollie's favourite was the trains. they were pretty sweet!</div>

pineapple and marshmallow kebabs. plural as in a total of two were made - one for me, one for him. and to top it off, as he was making it,i heard from the kitchen "now mum, if you have anything to complain about, you can just go hungry." at least i can be safe in the knowledge that when ollie eventually goes to live on his own he will be able to make one meal!</div>

it's with a sad and heavy heart that i have to say goodbye to my favourite dress ever. this beauty was one of my first dresses ever thrifted and she encouraged me to wear dresses on a daily basis. alas, she is wearing quite thin in places and is sadly now destined to be taken apart. but fear not fellow dress lovers, for this old girl will be used as a pattern to create many many more lovely lassies. so today is her last hurrah. i am wearing her with pride and twirling as much as possible today. if you see us out today give us a wave, we will surely wave, twirl and smile back at you.</div>amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14587921201355976854noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8745004632929834248.post-45923752088371588162012-04-03T14:15:00.000+12:002012-04-03T14:15:51.228+12:00hello mr autumn<div style="text-align: center;">
