Daybook 6

For today... March 16,2010

Outside my window... it's a beautiful morning, watching little white butterflies dance from one rose bush to the next.

I am thinking... how incredibly tiny a tictac sized hummingbid bird egg is.

I am thankful for... hot cross buns.  The fruit kind, not the chocolate ones.

I am wearing... t-shirt and jeans with bare feet, choosing comfort over style and loving it.

I am remembering... how much I enjoy these daybook pages and just thinking about simple things that make you smile.

I am going... to spend time in the studio this afternoon, I have a few 'things' waiting for me and I can't wait to get started.  It might be another late creative night.

From the kitchen... the smell of hot cross buns is wafting, guaranteed to make you smile.

I am creating... something special for Inspired Stitches - I love it and can't wait to spill the beans.  If you have the chance, come and join me in Adelaide.

I am hoping... the week goes slowly so I can squeeze everything in, though it is already bursting at the seams.

I am hearing... silence, if I block out the kids tv channel, birds chirping, dishwasher, plane flying over head, email in box *ping*, dog barking and car driving past.  Yep, the 'silence' is lovely.

Noticing... how much I love this time of year, not too hot, not too cold but just right.

Pondering these words... "What's for dinner?"

I have just finished reading... 'Catherine's Gift - Inside the world of Dr Catherine Hamlin' by John Little.  An incredible book about the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital and lives changed by the work they do.  

One of my favorite things... the smell for fresh cut grass on a warm day

Till then,

What lovely thoughts. Isabelle is adorable, but having tasted it, I think vegemite is something you have to start eating at her age. I tried it spread thin and thick, on bread and crackers ... sorry, this New Englander will pass - but bring on those Tim Tams! Thanks to Sue Daly, I even know how best to eat them!

Hi Natalie

Thanks for the Daybook...and the lovely photos of Isabelle..a wee pixie after my own heart...
.... because I am the only one in our house that gets to work my way through a jar of MARMITE that's a Kiwi thing (the Vegemite is also available here in NZ) beetroot, pumpkin & sweetcorn...food heaven to me, but the husband and the two teenagers do not like the above...

Have a great day...
