wedding garden AFTER

Well, only 10 days to go and the garden has burst into bloom, just maybe a little early... i am a bit worried it has peaked to soon :( but we shall see. I'm sure SOMETHING will be flowering on the 21st; now i am in maintanence mode. And i have become obsessed with long range weather forecasts. I have no problem with rain but i hate hate HATE wind (fingers toes and everything in between crossed)...

Dangles

I stayed up til all hours last night cutting out all these little shapes and bits from some paper offcuts i got from a stationary shop. My hand has serious cramp from holding my rusty old scissors! This is my vision...

It was a long weekend and i got so much gardening done it was geat! The spring has been so warm this far everything is booming and boosting - including the weeds, thus much weeding was done ans still remains. I found this cosmo in one of my planters, the petals are completely tubular. Is this phenomenal or merely strange? It certainly spun me out. Son had a friend to stay and i got a good taste of what it would be like to have three kids, interesting...s

The fennel flan i made was a hit!! We had to eat it picnic style in the living room as my table is smothered in wedding craft - to be blogged at a later date...

If the sun doesn't come out soon i'm going to go nuts, thank christ there is a decent race track around our lounge/kitchen and thank christ for my cat... he gives me faith

The Goldfish Moon

Oh my goodness just realised it is almost 2 months since my last post! This is because i have devoted my every spare minute since then to finishing a book in time to sell at Sonny's school fair, so here is a preview:

I have just this minute sent of the final draft to the publisher, so all is underway. My only regret is that i havn't managed to save more to get more printed, it will be a small stall...

Sunrise thru my boy's eyes

'Twas an early start this morning; below the sunrise you can see the concrete block wall in our back yard that i am to paint before te wedding. Yep, put it on the list along with 'finish bridesmaids dresses' and 'order oysters' etc...

Flighty like a fantail

Ishta refuses to sit in her high-chair; lucky we have a nice lil Ishy-size table...

I have trouble seeing things thru to fruition. I am very passionate and maybe thats why the fire heats very quickly, is fanned into an inferno, then sucks all the oxygen from me and is smothered when i can't keep up the pace...

I have decided to self-publish a small children's book to sell at Sonny's school fair in Nov. It is less than 3 months til my wedding and i havn't organised shit. Book club? What book club..?
