my weekend in images . . .

Greetings all,

Poof, after yesterday's post (thanks for your well wishes & sibling stories) . . . i thought i might enlighten you with all the lovelier things from my weekend . . .

a spot of screen printing . . .

mmmm, macarons in Spinderella . . .

thanks Donna Hay!!  Did you know she's doing a flourless truffle cake mix soon, oh you will, i'll have them in a giveaway a.s.a.p. . . .

Farmer's Market orangey goodness . . .

i got carried away juicing & overflowed the food processor (again) so out with the trusty straw . . .

4 children took turns sucking it up . . .

& wrapping up the weekend with a Sunday night Penang curry chicken . . .

with herbs from my barrel of blooming ingredients.  I was informed by the critics - i added too much dill, i just can't love children who don't embrace dill.  I know there are dill haters who read my blog, bite me, i mean, bite dill.

I picked the herbs after an hour of reading in the garden before making dinner & suddenly lost the ability to tell the difference between coriander & parsley.  I sniffed, i tasted, i compared . . . i picked both & tossed them all in the curry!!  I had herb amnesia.  If i inspire you to do anything, it's to grow your own herbs, chillies & salad fixings . . . a little effort with the watering can, will save you a fortune & fresh herbs are the hero of the dish.  Thank you, thank you very much, love Posie 

wordless weekend . . . that would be impossible for me!!

Greetings all,
I often marvel at 'wordless weekend' posts other bloggers manage to produce with beautiful photography & ideas, no words required.  Me, i'm a talker & none of these images can express the super suprise i had this morning!!  After a lovely customer left my studio, i was vacuuming & about to start an ordinary Saturday of birthday parties & sewing, when . . . my husband turned up on my doorstep!!  I hadn't seen my husband for 7 weeks & wasn't expecting him until next Saturday, so emotions of excitement, joy, love & freedom are all whirling around our house today.
Back to the post i had planned on doing today which was a 'last weekend vs this weekend' set of images showing how we roll in different weather in this family.  Our children were all born in the tropics of Tiwi NT & seem to be very attached to the seasons.  They don't feel the cold & hanker to be outdoors at all times!!  Fine by me, keeps them very fit & healthy.  But when it rains, we get crafty . . .

coloured paper chatter boxes on the studio floor . . .

because the skies looked like this . . .

& i had to dry my screen prints like this . . .

our sleep over guest playing board games & loving her new Posie purse.

Then sunshine allowed me to mow the lawns & run over the solar powered electric fence, ooppss . . .

& a spot of gardening - look, a Jacaranda tree has suddenly sprouted by the tomatoes . . .

painting by the front door while the middle sisters are at a party . . .

& a new bright fruit bowl patchwork cloth - needs to be lined & pressed.

Now back to that husband who i've missed so much!!  Have happy weekends everyone, love Posie
