What we are eating....
Letterland
I've always loved seeing things like this...
So when I found cheap letters for $2.00 each, I had to give it a go.
I basically just painted them with white paint as they were a brown wood to start with.

| After first coat of paint |
Now, It wasn't perfect, but I don't mind. The paint was a little hard to get right in all areas.

Easter Craft
I know it's June, but I really wanted to share my Easter craft this year.
Call me insane, but I actually made an Easter tree. It confused my husband for a while.
I thought it was pretty cool. It was SUPER easy. Well, sort of.
Easter Eggs - Dyed eggs:
6 eggs
Food dye
Vinegar
Cups
1. Empty eggs - You'll need to poke a hole with a pin and then poke the yoke.
Shake the insides out into a bowl
2. Drop the eggs, Gently, into a cup of 1/2 cup of vinegar and as much food dye as desired
3. Let it sit until you're happy with the colour
4. Dry :)
The tree:
1 x vase (mine was a wedding present)
5 - 8 long sticks (or however many you'd like)
White paint
Paint brush
Newspaper - to paint on and to stuff the vase so the sticks stay.
I went hunting for my branches/sticks in our local park. Yes, I looked weird. No, I didn't care.
I then painted them and let them dry. Sorry Will and Kate, Easter tree was more important....
Then I did this....
I added an extra hole on the other end of the eggs, and threaded through some string. Then I tied a knot and it hung. Lovely! And easy too.
What do you think??

I wonder..
if anyone is actually reading my little blog?
It doesn't really matter either way.
I love that there is a space to think.

Sometimes.
Sometimes it's okay to stay in bed til midday.
Sometimes it's good to get sick and eat 4 bowls of chicken soup.
Sometimes it's okay to find out that you're not invincible.
Sometimes it's better to call in sick, and actually be sick - not attempt to work from home.
I needed today.
I needed this cold.
For the first time, in a long time, I rested. Completely rested. Without stress.
I didn't let the messy kitchen or the fact that the vaccume cleaner was sprawled on the floor, bother me.
I stayed in bed. I watched dvds. I ate bowl after bowl of homemade soup.
I actually did nothing.
It was good.
Thank you God.

I spy

| Harriet the Spy (1996) |
When I was 9, all I wanted to be was a spy.
Harriet, she inspired me. My nanny (see I was just like her) even made me my own Spy business cards.
I would write down what I saw, and what I dreamt of and what the neighbours stored under their house.
I was adamant that my future was sorted, with spying and detective work. Now, I'm 22.
I'm a teacher and I probably teach children who have the same dreams I did. What did you dream of being when you were young? Vet? Doctor? CIA Agent? Or something else....?
sick :(
A day at home, eating dried apple and grapes. That's what I'm doing right now.
I have the dreaded cold that has been going around - it's horrible, but I am enjoying the rest.
My husband likes going into great detail about what the best combination of drugs/painkillers would be for my ailments. I just smile, knowing that i'll forget most of what he says. It's nice being looked after though.
I could definitely get used to all the cuddles and sympathy... :)
I think sometimes being sick is to remind you to slow down, have a break and just do nothing. Well, I guess I do nothing a lot, but I'm often pottering around attempting to do something!
God is with me and He is the great healer. It's comforting knowing that I'll be okay.
