stills: a weekly collection








1. "This is for you mummy" Love Sol. My heart melts every time.
2. Apparently I thought whipping up a patchwork quilt was a good idea. Filing this under 'ambitious'.
3. We've been treated to puppet shows this week. I never tire of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
4. Shirts fit to wear to a christening.
5. My handsome guys (well two of them).
6. It doesn't get prettier than fresh roses atop this christening cake and china teacups.
7. Oh Sol. Drawn to the hundreds and thousands, only to discover on first bite "it's too rich mummy."

Cute story - We went to a friend's baby's christening on Sunday. The priest walked around saying hello to everyone before the service. He said hello to my friend's four year old and when the priest walked away our little friend looked up at his mum and said, "Mum! I can't believe God just spoke to me!"

I'm a bit behind with this post as I've been looking after River who has his first ear infection - ouch! so I'll be playing catch up a bit this week. I hope you've had a happy monday x

  1. Mmm things are looking a bit fresher around here - and I love the colours you've chosen for your quilt. even though it's an effort you'll be well rewarded - my aunty made me a quilt that I use every day. I think it will be 20 years old next year. It has been well loved :-)
    ps. your friend's 4 year old - what a precious thing to say! x

    1. Thanks G for the encouraging words with the quilt, I will keep persevering. My boys both have quilts they were given as babies and I can imagine they will last them a lifetime. I know, too precious my friend's 4 year old! x

  3. Hi Nikki. Carmel may be able to sort River out and she is in tomorrow. Worked well for Maya and Rye's ears! Good Luck xxx Robin

    1. Oh great thought Robin. See that's what good about this motherhood club we can do the thinking for each other when our brains are too full or tired. Sol and I would benefit from seeing Carmel too. I will have to see how River is for making the car trip though, he has been really nauseous and vomiting a lot. See you soon xxx

  4. What a lovely shot of your boys looking so smart! I hope River's ear clears up soon. Good luck with your quilt. My mum is an avid quilter so I have left that type of craft to her so far... I am sure I will have the courage to take it on some day though! Can't wait to see the finished product. Luna. x

    P.S. I just noticed your new header. I LOVE IT! So simple and reflective of your space. :)
