Boxed In

Clearly the idea that I could keep up with my little blog here whilst waist deep in moving house, has been a tremendous fail.  So, I thinks it's best to admit when one is beat and politely tip one's hat to the day and say, "See you on the other side friends!"

I shall return in a couple weeks time. Until then, I wish you all the best!

Thank you

I want to thank everyone for your incredibly kind comments and sweet emails I have received.  I am sorry that I am unable to reply to each and everyone, just know that you have brightened my days and made me feel much better indeed!

Things are getting sorted over here, we have discovered the culprit and are taking action.  I am hoping to be back to blogging on the regular some time next week after a few days of recovery. So looking forward to be back in my shiny place here with all of you!

Oh and happy Spring!

A bit of a hiccup

Hello friends, just a quick pop-in to let you all know I might be scarce 'round these parts for a bit. I am rather busy with some doctors nonsense and trying to feel myself again.  I hope to see you soon with a skip in my step and rosy cheeks.

Time Out

Me, my girl, and the Buddha Cat have been feeling poorly so we are taking a little time out until we get back to our usual mayhem. See you soon and take care.

Serious Business

Hello Monday! Hello friends!

I have discovered a whole heap of admin type busy work that needs doing. Whilst I'm at it, I figured it was also time for a little shine and polish on my place here. So, for the next few days I am going to be nose to the grindstone, fingers to the keyboard and all that sort of serious business. If you stop by and see that things are out of place, a bit askew, and generally wonky, that's just me mucking about. Here's hoping I don't get myself in a sticky mess whilst at it.

I hope to be back by weeks end with a bit of very exciting news!

So until then, have a lovely week!

Spring Break

Oh my, it seems as though my short bloggy break has extended itself. We are full in school holiday mode now and I have been so busy having a grand old time that I've lost track of the days!

Pony Girl and I have been completely absorbed with our industry, we have been awfully crafty I tell you. Not to mention the adventures! When the sun came out we worked outdoors with tools...

and there were the critters to keep an eye on...

and we went on walks through the neighborhood that were part scavenger hunt and part spelling lessons. The letters X and Z were most elusive.

When the weather turned, we had our sunshine indoors...

and went wild with glitter...

when things got dark and damp, we baked Almond chocolate chip cookies to warm us up.

Later, we promised the Engineer (who was away on business) that we would save him some - the most we could guarantee was 2 cookies.

The clay came out, a mama and baby horse of course!

There were rainbows to chase...

Spring flowers sprung!

and it's only Wednesday night!

I am feeling a great pull to spend time with my family. I don't know when it's going to happen, but there will come a day when my girl stops telling me she loves me 8 times a day, when she stops saying, "Your the best Mama I could ever have in the whole wide world!" It might not happen tomorrow, but I do want to deserve those words - I want to be the best Mama in the world - warts and all. So I know that you, my friends, will understand if I extend my Spring Break just a little bit longer. I know you will wish me all the best if I take a time out from my shiny place here and instead of blogging - maybe become queen for a day and order a royal ball, or be an explorer of jungles, a dance party DJ, a den building fool...you get me?

I also want to thank all the new followers and new commenters of late. I so appreciate you taking time to visit me and say such nice things, you make me smile.

I'll be back soon, honest. I just need a Spring Break, I need to stop and smell the flowers...yes indeed!

You can catch me over on Facebook and The Twitter for updates in the meantime.

Be safe, be well, and these flowers are for you!

Time Flies

This weekend Pony Girl turned 7! Somehow it snuck up on me, how can she possibly be 7?!

My beautiful girl, you are so amazing. Thank you for the constant inspiration and the everyday joy!

I have a feeling she's totally gonna rock 7!

Speaking of time flying by, it's past mid-March already, yikes! I have been trying to do it all these days and it's getting a little slippery. I'm going to take the rest of this week off from the blog and catch up on some family time, tie up a few loose ends, and tackle some projects. I will see you on the flip side.

Be safe, be well!

Undercover

Sorry to have gone missing, but I'm working undercover at the moment. Actually, I have just been under the covers with a bit of sick. Regular programming will continue once I shake free of the grip this thing has on me.

Until then, be well.

Seeing Red

Finding some red to energize me! Lots to do!

My mother arrives tomorrow and the little green cottage needs a proper tidy. I will be off for a few days while she is in town and see you all on the flip side!

Wishing you all a happy weekend!

Undertow

I have been under the water
Under the weather
Undone
I have been under the water for 2 weeks.
I have been muddled, murky, blurred, befuddled, and also slightly deaf.

So, if you've noticed that I haven't been coming 'round well...I'm not quite myself.

The old medicine didn't work, there are high hopes for the new medicine. It's bigger, stronger, faster, but it's undertow makes me even more deep divery.

Another side effect seems to be self portraiture. Perhaps there will be a renaissance of the 'Experiment'. But for now, I think I will take a little break and hope to see you soon on dry land.

Be well.

It's Friday!

I'm gearing up for next weeks school holiday and family holiday. Truth be told my head is in a spin and a last minute B-day pres is required for tonight! Eeek! With all the planning, cooking, making, and general full house mayhem, I think that it might be wise for me to take a little blog break. So, I hope that you and yours have a truly wonderful week next week while I'm away being very thankful for all I have.

Oh yes, I have fallen behind on my own self portrait challenge, I know, I know. I could have picked a better time of year for this really! In any case, I do have one from Halloween that I have been remiss in showing you. The process of this photo has led me to the discovery of feather eyelashes, more fun than I ever would have imagined!



See you soon!
