Hanging with our nephew

A few weekends ago on a beautiful sunny Saturday Ad & I took Oscar to Red Coats and Convicts at Hyde Park Barracks. While Osc was a little frightened by the muscats firing (check out his bottom lip in the first pic) we had a fun time patting the animals and making bricks.

Afterwards we popped across the road to admire the Archibald Fountain, it appears to be a favourite of Oscar's. We spent a fair time watching the water spray and chatting about the statues, the turtles are definitely the coolest according to Osc.

Penny farthing

A visit to choose a new bed from Empire Beds in peaceful rural Wilberforce took an unexpected turn when I found myself very high off the ground on a penny farthing. What an amazing vehicle, if a little bit scary!

Vivid

Vivid is a highly photographed event but here is my contribution in case you haven't already seen enough. I was fortunate enough to wander down to the harbour on a fine Friday evening and join the crowds in viewing this wonderful spectacle. It is amazing what all of the artists created, the projection on the Opera House was mesmerising and the interactive works around the foreshore engaging.

Whoo

This weekend I attended a beautiful baby shower. It was a lovely afternoon full of yummy cake, silly games and baby chatter. For the soon to arrive little one I made the above owl (with some valuable assistance from my Mum). The main body fabrics are by Kaffe Fassett, he produces some of the most inspiring patterns and colour combinations.

Barrenjoey Lighthouse

A beautiful but windy Anzac Day spent swimming, eating fish & chips and walking up to the lighthouse.

My sisters birthdays

Both of my sisters recently celebrated their birthdays. They are very talented individuals.

Here is Celeste's beautiful photography of her seashell arrangement. She can meticulously arrange objects for hours and photograph the most mundane so it looks interesting.

 

This is Imogen's amazing watercolour that was painted for me. She has an wonderful eye for colour and a lovely free creative line in her works.

They also have enchanting blogs 

Imogen Eve and Tess took it.
