Did I mention that my entire lounge room is finally ALL white. I think amidst the general flurry I completely forgot to share this miracle. When it stops raining and there is some decent light, I will share the wonder that is no more custard.
Roboboy went back to school, I did manage a quick oppie ferret this week. I often find a few of the same sort of thing in the one ferret. The colours in these blankies just seem to pop more with the drizzly grey days we are having. The top one is my favourite. If there was a remote chance it would be worn, I would attempt to turn it into a coat for miss Liongirl. I do have some other ideas percolating though.
Look what else popped up too. It looks like pyrex but it's actually Arcopal, all the way from France.
Perfect weather for whipping up some teddy bear pancakes. With the kids sick for the holidays, I think I watched a lot more Playschool than usual. Or was it Peppa Pig? Miss Liongirl is in charge of banana slicing, Roboboy helps with the mix and they both get to decorate -those dairy free choc chips are a fantastic shape. We have experimented with cats and pigs too, these drizzly grey days just keep inspiring pancakes.
Roboboy has been designing computers again.
And I have been photographing all his art and carefully choosing which ones to keep. This was one of the few paintings he did at kindy when he was four. I think it was an army tank. I love the colours, I think I need to get an Ikea frame for this one.
Speaking of Ikea, we did recently get a stool for Roboboy so he can reach to feed his fish. I even let him choose the colour, so there is also a bit of painting going on over here.
Back soon to share it all when the sun comes out and I can take some decent pictures.
Decent pictures!?
ReplyDeleteMel, this blog! Perfection!! Love it!
I was going to say the same thing re photos! (I'm still using my phone.) I can see where your kiddos get their creativity from. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics! Love the sneak peek of the white loungeroom. x
ReplyDeleteI love this happy colorful post you would never know that it wasn't sunny there....its so cheery inside!
ReplyDeletePhotographing their art is so much easier. I used to photograph the good magnadodle drawings as well to counter their brief life. That rosy blanket would be great on a re upholstered chair.
ReplyDeleteThose first couple of shots could easily be seen in a mag. The colours are vibrant and just what is needed during these gloomy winter days. The birdhouse is adorable too.
ReplyDeleteA cheerful room in winter gloom. I just love those blankies. My girls enjoy making cubbies out of them when it's miserable out, they spread them all over the couch and chairs, crawling under them. Such a fun simple game.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love! That white, those blankets, the amazing art, colour choice and those cute pancakes - gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteCan I say your photos are so bright and cheerful! I love the platter and the kids artwork ...priceless!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty post Mel. I love that pink blanket and your first photo with it up against the white wall, is gorgeous. Love the computer too, these pieces of artwork are just priceless aren't they:) xx
ReplyDeleteThe blankets are a fabulous find! Can't wait to see what you do with them! I photograph all of the artwork here as well. I think I might eventually make a photo book of all the artwork at some point. xx
