The Best Job ever!
Posted on February 5, 2017 Leave a Comment
It’s true. I REALLY do have the best job EVER!!!!! That’s if you can call it a job, cause most of the time I find it just pure pleasure, and today was no exception. We had decided a couple of days before that we were going to do it, so we jumped out of bed […]
Sun-Filled Days of Summer
Posted on January 27, 2017 Leave a Comment
In between the storms rolling through you have to make the most of every sunny day. This week has been no exception. So, the dogs and I spent the afternoon at the beach on Lake Taupo, while the storm brewed further south. The wind was excellent at whipping up some waves that were pretty impressive […]
New Toys

New toys in the art studio are SOOO exciting! And this trip to the art store saw me bringing home a set of Winsor and Newton watercolour markers. Hamilton is a town around the river and so there always seems to be a bridge waiting to be drawn. As you can see the markers are […]
Coming Up Roses

I’ve fallen off the bandwagon just a tad with my grateful drawings… not that you don’t already know that 😛 I’ve still been making my daily lists of things I am grateful for but haven’t been putting the time into the drawing side…could claim too many other things but we all have a choice every […]
Avalanche

Clever daughter had been giving me photography lessons. “Sit on the rocks and use your knees as a tripod,” she had been telling me. “You get great movement shots of the water.” It had seemed such a long way down to the ground after all our sitting in the car that I declined the offer for […]
Fejoa Delight

Yay! It’s that time of the year again. I LOVE Fejoa season. Super grateful for this special fruit. Not quite sure why I love them so much… maybe, memories of creeping up the back fence and hiding low so the neighbour couldn’t see us kids out his lounge window as we nicked the fruit from […]
Be My Valentine

Looking up from the closing prayer I saw her standing by the door…waiting for us to finish. With a dash of willpower and a big breath she moved forward… “Would you like to be my valentine?” she asked the first. “For me?!” came the surprised reply. They take the red rose extended. She moved to […]
Lemon Fruit Triplet

I LOVEÂ lemons! From their vibrant yellow to the refreshing tang, I just love lemons. In fact, every morning IÂ start with a warm freshly squeezed lemon drink. Then lunchtime sees me squeezing lemon juice over my salad…my all-time favourite dressing. Where ever we live my garden always has a lemon tree. It’s one of the happiest […]
Holding Out on You.

It’s true! I’ve been holding out on you. My sincerest apologies, but I just clean forgot to make the post. A while ago I entered ‘Kiwi on Tryfan’ that I painted for that special Uncle, in the local Shirley’s Shoes art competition. I got mail from Middle-earth…just love that Hobbit reference actually on the mail […]
Kiwi on Tryfan

Funny how we get anxious about things when there is no need at all, isn’t it? But I was anxious. Concerned that he might not like it. I really wanted him to like it…to get a lot of pleasure out of it. It had been done just for him. If you are allowed favourite uncles, then […]
