the end of summer

1/ My housemate & the dogs all perched on my bed. A saturday morning (wine & beer bottles remain from a wee party I'd accidentally hosted in my room the night before - I dont usually drink in bed, I swear!).

2/ Bruschetta. Yum. I ate a whole lot of it this summer, always with tomatoes from my garden.

3/ The Peach. Doing what she does best (ie. living a life of luxury & looking cute).

4/ Nu. Sporting The Cone of Shame (skin allergies) whilst practicing her whistful gaze.

5/ Maggie. Crylaughing after posing for this set of photos.

6/ Fruit & Vege. Picked while walking the back laneways of Brunswick & used to make jam / feed folks for my birthday dinner.

7/ Frank. Feeling snoozey.

nonsense & help

A bit of animated hecticity to match a crazy-exhausting-fun few weeks.

I wonder can you guys help- I have finally decided on the colours for a patchwork quilt I want to make, but am having trouble finding the right coloured fabric. Can anyone recommend a fabric store (Online or in Melbourne) with a wide block-colour selection?

garden grows

This summer has seen my first serious attempt at veggie growing, and Ive been slowly enjoying my first homegrown eats these last few weeks. Im in love!

Unfortunately our house was sold so I'll be moving somewhere within the month. Im not sure what will be worse: saying goodbye to all those in-ground pumpkins, zucchini and corn, or moving all my potted plants (which includes 30-odd fruiting tomato plants) somewhere new! Aghhhh. Cross your fingers for me, please, the Melbourne rental market is seriously THE WORST!

forever changes

Watching as my tabletop garden slowly moves and changes. This could go on forever.

hi how are you

Oh Hello! Remember me? Life has been a bit crazy around here lately but lets promise to catch up soon, ok? x

backyard

Oh Spring, she's arrived (!) and so Ive been spending all my time outside. This year I'm making some ambitious attempts at a veggie garden, and the dogs have been really helping out. See - Poppy has been keeping the potato's warm & Frank even kindly carted off some large skeletal remains I found buried in an old planter. Thanks so much guys!

Oh and Beetroot. I love you best when I eat you with feta on toast but also kind of secretly like how you stain my fingers a crazy shade of red. So yeah, Beetroot, thank you too!
