Abundance

Our wallets are empty and things have been pretty damned tight lately, still, we know we are blessed.

Our girls give us fresh eggs daily, and are kind enough to consider our leftovers treats.

Our pumpkin harvest wasn't all we thought it would be, but it's plenty for us.

Our sauce is made, our salsa preserved, our soup is cooked... and still there are MORE tomatos.

It looks as though we'll be buying potatoes sooner than we had hoped...

... but we never expected a sweet potato harvest at all!

Our garden so overflowed that we shared the harvest with our neighbours.

We even had one or two of visitors to the garden...

"When my bankroll is getting small,

I think of when i had none at all,
and i fall asleep counting my blessings"

Wise words Bing.

Wishy Salt Fortune Catcher Things

Do you remember those folded paper fortune thing-a-ma-bobs? I thought about making some to take to the craft fair we're going to in a couple of weeks. My husband said they are called "Cootie Catchers". Apparently they are also called "Salt Cellars".  I prefer "wishy fortune catcher things" though it doesn't quite roll off the tongue does it?

Anywho, here's what I came up with...

And because I like ya, here's the pdf to print your own.



The pile.

I've got loads going on at the mo' and there are project bits and pieces all over the house. While I'm waiting for paint dry on one, I move on to the next. While the glue sets on that, I start something else and make an even bigger mess.

There's so much stuff I want to do and make, but the 'in progress' pile is getting rather large.

Ah well, there are much worse things than having pretty blue pages messing up the place.

Spoon Wands

Just finished up a batch of spoon wands. Each one has it's own special little something and just a smidge of glitter... all except for the the green fairy spying wand because that would just be silly.

Red sky at night

We've been here for a year and a half now and I still never, ever, get tired of this sky outside my window.

Washrooms and Wandy Goodness

You'll notice a load of posts coming up with the Pixie Hill logo on them. Don't get confused, it's me. It's what we're branding our studio. Clear as mud? Fantastic! Here's a juicy little sneak peek...

We're a long way off but it's coming together. It should be a tad easier now that the Big D is back in school. It's been three months since I used the washroom with out hearing "Mum! Mum! Where are you? What are you doing?" That said, I've missed having that funny, scruffy kid around today.

I've had a few spoon wands on the back burner for ages. While waiting for paint to dry and glitter to settle last night I pulled out the old dusty things and started working on them again.

I don't think this one is quite finished but it's the furthest along of the bunch.
