Last week
Was about these guys staying over and meeting Cedar... Auntie Hayley
And my nephew Caden.
And making things like these...
to exhibit at the Green Bean cafe in Belgrave (my stuff is already in the Have Ya Bean cafe in Upwey). I hung 8 photography paintings and left the cafe at 4:30pm on Friday afternoon. At 5:30 the cafe shuts. Somewhere in between the two berry canvases sold. Those photos were taken at our first rest-stop on our drive to Denmark, shortly after passing the German / Danish border.
Today has been about this sort of work...
So I'm totally hammered from all that. And now I need to have a shower before getting stuck into some Scrapbook Creations assignments and working out what to make for dinner (perhaps using the pile of new potatoes I harvested from our garden this morning!). Have a happy Sunday.

Baby's World
I wish I could take a quiet corner in the heart of my baby's very own world.
I know it has stars that talk to him, and a sky that stoops
down to his face to amuse him with its silly clouds and rainbows.
Those who make believe to be dumb, and look as if they never could move,
come creeping to his window with their stories and with
trays crowded with bright toys.
I wish I could travel by the road that crosses baby's mind,
and out beyond all bounds;
Where messengers run errands for no cause between the kingdoms
of kings of no history;
Where Reason makes kites of her laws and flies them, the Truth
sets Fact free from its fetters.

For Kell
Yum
Take some creamy vanilla ice cream, gently combine with some Australian Wild Fruits and a bit of the syrup. Add to cone. If the ice cream melts while mixing, freeze again until firm.

Round here
something radiates....
Ash keeps emptying all the toys out of his treasure chest toybox so that he can use it to play pirate games. Time for a different toybox, methinks. Me hearties.
Sienna goes back to school (and Ash to kinder, 4YO this year) tomorrow, but is determined that she doesn't want to be in year 1. I just say it doesn't matter either way, prep or year 1 she's in the same class. Let's go!
Cedar has two teeth, the bottom middle two, the first one cut while in Germany the first week there and the second one cut through on the Thursday flying home and the Friday we arrived home. He is eating solids for dinner, making all sorts of hilarious faces throughout the process, and likes to hold the spoon and feed himself. Usually we give him his own separate spoon to hold while we use another to feed him :) I made him this high-chair insert out of polka dot oilcloth the other day.
He is also sleeping in a cot now. He was ridiculously too big for the bassinette but didn't seem to mind and I hadn't put the cot up yet, so I managed that this week and moved him straight over - no stress at all. He's a pretty easy-going baby. Cruises along, smiles, plays with his feet, grizzles, eats / drinks, sleeps, chats and growls. 6 and a half months already.
Other than that it's busy around here with de-cluttering and re-organising, Ben has a new role at work from tomorrow, and I've had a few deadlines and baby hat sales. Plans for much photo-editing during February!

Thank you, Compendium, this made me laugh!
