So, a whole month has passed, just like that. *Clicks fingers* Much as I love participating in projects like the August break, or my monthly garden moodboards, I am often put off by the side effect of an increasing awareness of time passing. You start out thinking, oh yes, a photo a day for August, … Continue reading August break 2014: the last week

August break 2014: week three
Well, another week over and another weekend reached. Tick, result, breathe... It's started to feel a bit like that as I've been battling not only toddler daytime meltdowns but toddler and baby lack-of-nighttime-sleeping this week. I just keep trying to remind myself that one day I will look back on this time and remember only … Continue reading August break 2014: week three
A photo a day: August 31st
AKA the last day! So this is it, people, my very last photo of the day. My last contribution to the August break. This is me. Collapsed in bed, my hand resting on my weary brow. A subtle photographic representation of how absolutely bloody exhausted I am from posting a photo (or sometimes more than … Continue reading A photo a day: August 31st

Do you remember my blogging view, the view I see when I sit here writing my blog? Well, this morning I was sitting in the chair in front of the window, looking the opposite way for once and this was my view in that direction: The electricity cables are the only thing that would let … Continue reading A photo a day: August 30th

I wish it would surprise you if I told you that I still have a wedding present to finish making for my sister who got married in May. (I wish it would surprise me too.) I did give her most of her presents at the time, but I had an idea to pretty up some … Continue reading A photo a day: August 28th

A photo a day: August 26th
Apologies to those who follow me on Instagram, as you will have already seen this, but I couldn't resist posting it here too. Outside my local junk shop, old chisels and the like were lined up on a table. I was sorely, sorely tempted to buy the whole lot of them... Joining in with the … Continue reading A photo a day: August 26th

Sunday evening. This is the sitting room floor: This is the disastrous fudge that looked like a turd, tasted little better and was as solid as a piece of granite: This is the sproglet's chair: And this is just one of the many piles of washing up covering up every single surface in the kitchen … Continue reading A photo a day: August 25th
Late summer wedding flowers
Have I mentioned that I'm getting married in a few weeks? Oh yes, I have. About six gazillion times. In a classic "how hard can it really be?" moment, I decided that it would be a good idea to arrange all my own wedding flowers. Actually, I had originally planned to grow them, transport them … Continue reading Late summer wedding flowers
A photo a day: August 23rd
I'm half way through a big detailed post about all my wedding flowers, which I was planning on publishing today. But sitting down just now to finish it off, I discover I've got a fuzzy Friday evening head on, so the words don't feel like coming out. Instead, here is a little sneak peek of … Continue reading A photo a day: August 23rd
