Greetings all,
Welcome to this month's AEIOU: a mid-month-link-party of self-belief, improvement, acceptance, love & learning!! It's a get together to celebrate life's highlights. Your AEIOU might go a little something like this . . .
Awesome – something you baked/ created/ photographed/ a bargain you found
Exciting – share your news/ event/ holiday/ a gorgeous butterflies-in-tummy moment
Interesting – teach us information/ discovery/ facts/ a chance to show off your quirky side
Opportunity – embrace the unknown/ put yourself out there/ show off a new experience
Understanding – learning to appreciate/ forgive/ love/ unleash what helps you grow
. . . you might like to do a full AEIOU or just one or two particular themes . . .
To kick things off, here is my AEIOU list for May.
Awesome - how stunning is simple Winter produce?? Such beautiful shapes, colours & super fresh taste, from Farmer's Market. My children seek out the fruit with leaves attached - more authentic.
Exciting - thrilled to add a new recipe to my repertoire . . . the Ragu!! It's a simple & delicious belly warming Winter dinner.
Interesting - as i flick through the pages of magazines like Peppermint, Mollie Makes & Frankie, i feel like i'm reading about my handcrafted industry from the outside. It's very competitive & i'm comfortable that i've stepped down, after a successful decade consumed by sewing at home. Lately i've bumped into many designers who are shocked i'm closing down my business, they say the most lovely things about my craftsmanship, passion, attitude & presence at markets. Nice to know you're missed!! But also very happy under my pom pom blanket on the freezing weekends, reading magazines rather than manning a stall.
Opportunity - a school mum had to sell her farm & move closer to the city, which meant leaving, relocating & giving away many of her animals. These friendly Silver Spangled Hamburgs found their way to our place. They're very happy in the coop outside, but the cold snap has halted egg laying. Baby chicks are still living indoors, under lights.
Understanding - i like technology served up to me on a platter, need to know only, just tell me how to send emails & blog, thank you. I'm pretty pleased with how i'm getting around my first ever Mac computer & loving it's new location in the living area, with all the children's laptops (such is education these days) - research homework is very efficient. The children love the mysterious black apple (where the in fared wireless gadgets connect) spooky.
Now it's your turn . . . do join in . . . links go live on the 15th of each month, this is a party to celebrate you!! Love Posie
