today...

...I discovered these in The Shell Seekers

(have no idea when I put them in there)

... I noticed one of my favourite colour combinations in my pan.

It's always the little things...

fabric + flowers

~~ two of the things i love

~~ one frantic afternoon trying to finish my son's teacher's gift on time

(do you like what I made for her?)

~~ one stress-free afternoon to make the mosaics

enjoy!

~~ hope you all have a fabulous week!

green is the colour

I've been meaning to tell you and show you what I've been up to lately,

but I have been too busy - and lazy- and I also seem to have become used to

silently enjoying your posts ; it's much easier to read than write, right?

Anyway, it was Fiona from Raindrops and Daisies with her wonderful idea of 'Green Day'

that got me out of my hiding place and into the world.

So here's (part of) how I spend my days, now that schools are closed for the summer.

For more green love pop over at Fiona's.

Have a great weekend.

Back soon. I promise!

honesty

me: do you like my new haircut?

son: yes, it's nice.

a few hours later...

me: i don't think i like my hair like this.

son: it looks like a helmet.

i used to be proud...

... for being greek;

now i have to turn to history

and past achievements

to ease the feeling of disappointment.

have moved down under

It's been so unbelievably cold these days,

it feels like October!

I had to take my tomato seedlings inside

 to protect them from the cold and the wind.

I started dreaming of dryers again.

I have so much  laundry to do and no idea where to dry it!

Just when you think you don't need socks anymore...

Anyway, it's Friday afternoon and we have the whole weekend ahead;

the weatherman said that we 'll get our spring back soon

so it's all good.

I'm making some cupcakes with my super fast cupcake maker

as soon as I go offline;

Friday afternoon = coffee + cake + crochet. Nice!

Weather permitting, I'm planning to spend some happy time

surrounded by pots, compost, flower seedlings and, of course,

my precious helper tomorrow!

I'm leaving you today

with my beautiful amaryllis, which is exactly as old as my son;

it is now two plants since I separated the two bulbs that were formed

and planted them again in autumn. Clever me!

Have a great weekend!

wishing you...

...

a fabulous weekend

and a wonderful Mother's Day with your kids.
