no trees

I couldn't live where there were no trees — something vital in me would starve ~ LM Montgomery

Have a great weekend friends!

a few random things

It really was my intention to blog a lot more during my uni holidays...but I have been enjoying myself offline and keeping myself occupied with so many things that by the time I was free it was too dark, or too late or I was far too tired. So the above photos are a little all over the place...

[+] a bit of mail making
[+] participating in a stationery swap
[+] guest blogging over at Bianca's
[+] eating pretty biscuits
[+] capturing bare winter trees
[+] knitting of a blanket (which I have not been able to continue as I ran out of wool)
[+] brownie making
[+] self portrait
[+] my latest op shop find

AND not pictured is the reading of 50 Shades of Grey book last weekend. I read all three of them and while I only did read them to see what all the hubbub was about I did in fact enjoy them. I will say that the author was very repetitious and it felt like she did a lot of copying and pasting throughout the book but nevertheless I enjoyed the part about the actual background of Christian Grey.

Now, only two weeks left of my holidays...I hope they go tremendously slow

Hello there goodnightlittlespoon readers, my name is Katyha, I blog over at lovekatyha. Bianca was so lovely to ask me to do a guest post while she is away getting married and enjoying time with her family and friends. For the guest posts Bianca has asked that we pick an idea from Keri Smith's 100 Ideas and while I struggled a little with finding an idea that was perfect for me, I eventually managed it.

59. List ten things you would like to do every day



Thank you Bianca for the honour of being able to fill in for you today. Oh and congratulations! My fingers and toes are crossed that your special day is super amazing and magical. I cannot wait to see the photos.

life lately

my life lately
[+] a bit of flower picking from my garden
[+] a bit of op shopping
[+] visiting baby sister for her birthday and baking her macarons
[+] meeting baby sisters pup (who scratched me every time I walked by)
[+] finally finding a speak & spell after many, many years of wanting one
[+] planting my avocado
[+] a little more knitting
[+] rejoicing that the salted butter caramel turned out beautifully...what a shame the macarons didn't :(

film corner

 

I am so behind in this, mainly because I haven't been doing too much movie watching. But this last week changed all of that.

A thousand words despite its very low rating was wonderful, I cried a little and laughed a little. Jack and Jill was terrible, Man on a ledge was very action packed and ok. One for the money was a little disappointing as I love Katherine Heigl, Wanderlust definitely not G rated and not one I would watch again ever, and Wrath of the Titans was amazing. Four men in the house these are the movies they love so although not my choice I have to admit it was quite good.

stationery making

third week of holidays...and man oh man do holidays go by quickly especially when you are sick. Not a very enjoyable time but at the same time I am extremely glad that I am not sick while going to class. I am so ready to be well so fingers crossed this (whatever it is I have) doesn't last much longer.

Spending time indoors due to sickness and the wet weather is crummy but this is what I got up to today....a little stationery making for a stationery swap I am participating in. Gathering a little inspiration from Bianca ;) every aspect drawn by me (and if you look closely you could probably tell)...my only question, is it too much pink?

this was today

this was today
[+] enjoying the glorious sunshine that has been hanging around the last few days
[+] cooking a chocolate swiss roll which I have to say ended up the ugliest cake ever baked
[+] enjoying this freebie 1975 Jane Austen book
[+] and a bit more of nasal decongestant...will this cold every go away?

tomorrow?
a lot of cleaning and cooking before a bbq
let's hope the warm weather stays a little longer
