Here’s a few random little snippets from my world recently…
We are now mid-spring here in New Zealand and the weather is warming up. My garden is growing at warp speed – more on that soon. Its a rare occasion to see Tui in my garden, but this week there were a couple sipping on flax flowers. Birds, you will note, are well outside my photographic expertise!
Speaking of flowers, Carter expressed his inner floral artist at school for their gala event. He had such a proud Mummy! Here’s his sand saucer;
And glitter jar/upside down jar arrangement:
Walking on the beach, with toes out – much more palatable now the weather is warming up, hmmm might need to dig out some nail polish!
Drinking lots of smoothies… mostly berries, sometimes with greens, but always with added chia (don’t blend them)!
Maia doing her best impression of a sculpture:
Tillandsias hanging in my window… the best low maintenance pot plants, driftwood and macrame optional!
The building (and rebuilding) of fairy houses is in full swing:
As well as raising seeds and planting seedlings like crazy, I’m propagating a variety of plants… this is my kitchen windowsill, and I’m happy to report that every eastern and southern windowsill in our house is also home to a large number of small jars with lots of other potential plants for my garden!
Our crochet loving cat (actually I think its the wool he loves!)
Finally, here’s a shot of a little blue crochet (one of two projects) I have on the go… more on that soon 🙂
What’s happening in your world? xxxoooxxxx
Your pictures are beautiful! I wish it was warming up here instead of getting colder. We are digging out the scarves, coats, and sweaters 😦

Sorry to hear its a bit grey in Germany, we’ve also woken to a cloudy morning here today, but I’m hoping it’s going to warm up because the children are going to a birthday party this afternoon which involves water guns! Have a great weekend 🙂
