The Week That Was...

A few images from my week. Cooking...


With my beautiful sous chef at my side...


Reading... Always! I've got rather a stack of books to get through at the moment!

Wondering at all the varieties of tomatoes Liam has grown. Who knew there were so many different kinds? Look at all those wonderful colours!

Washing.
Being showered with love by the exuberant Zac, who is rarely still enough to take any sort of photo!

Loving this dress sent to me by my best friend Anna.

Remembering when Isla was this little and wondering how she grew just so fast?

Feeling pretty pleased with my first attempt at upholstery. Thanks Dad for the lend of the staple gun!

Making use of my Amy Butler fabric.

And very much enjoying meeting a new friend! The beautiful Rhiannon had Kyan and I over for afternoon tea today-it's so nice to meet a fellow crafty-blogger (and her two gorgeous boys!). So all in all a rather good week!

  1. What a wonderful job you did with the chair! I have been putting off some projects- was it easier than it seems the project would be?

  2. Hi Jessicah! I was just looking at your blog and your wedding photos are gorgeous! Congratulations! Um, no the chair wasn't too hard- I had been putting it off myself for ages because I was worried I'd muck it up! But I found if you just take it section by section, use a sturdy fabric-mine was a canvas type fabric, and make sure all your seams are turned over, it's not as tricky as it looks.

  3. The chair and owl look amazing... great work. I am inspired to cover some sort of chair for my boys. The tomatoes look pretty lovely too. I don't think there's anything better than homegrown tomatoes.

  5. You are all too kind. Please note, however that the photo is by no means a close up!
