and the winner is

Life has been brimming with busyness and while I have had every intention of coming into this space there has always been something else that's more important. For now I'm focusing on what's most important and not what's urgent. I think it's a good season to remember such wisdom. We've been venturing to the beach but mostly staying home, taking the occasional stroll up and down the street and catching falling Jacaranda blooms in all their lavender goodness.

And although it's taken me an extra week to draw a winner, the lucky lady who will be receiving the udder brooch in the mail is Genevieve. Congratulations lovely. Please email me your address to jodiclairewilson @ yahoo (dot) com (dot) au

300 - an udderly perfect reason to celebrate

Made with love from vintage fabric it is absolutely adorable and perfect for you. Just leave a comment and I'll draw a winner next Tuesday...I'll post the little guy any where in the world.

299

This marks my 299th opportunity to write about my life. Which means my next post will be the big 300 and I've got a special little giveaway from a fellow blogger and friend who also happens to be an extraordinary crafter. I can't wait to show you.

I've also been dying to show you these photos, by The Rummeys, of course. Leaping for love and laughing along the way. It was fun.

Daniel got a new tripod and got all pro, following us up the street with it in hand. We're getting closer to that brand new DSLR with HD video. We're so excited. Che is growing up thinking the camera is a member of the family. I've noticed he is more inclined to take photos himself and we always make sure there is a 'che friendly' model somewhere around the house. He's actually pretty good for a three-year-old.
