in the garden | midwinter

...in the garden...

lovely links...

This past week we've been having some gloriously sunny (if not particularly warm) days & cold, cold frosty mornings. Makes a nice change from grey days, although the rain is always welcome & grey skies have their own beauty...

An intriguing new space in Adelaide that I can't wait to visit.

Amazing creations.

There are always interesting stories to be found on Upworthy, like a generous university President, a poster with an important message or a different take on a tradition - just to name a few.

Yes please: blueberry hazelnut cobbler cake | sweet plum sorbet | strawberry buttermilk pancakes | chocolate coconut cake | blueberry oat crumble muffins

Paris wanderings, spectacular Kauai, romance in Lisbon, a charming cottage, Paris at night.

Loving right now: Redbubble have started offering spiral notebooks, these handmade map journals, a super adorable pouch, this cosy cat cave (pity I don't have a cat), these shoes.

& your daily dose of pink flamingo.

~~~ also, Happy Birthday! to my awesome sister Kathryn ~~~

recently...

...some extremely welcome rain arrived a couple of weeks ago - much appreciated by the garden & resulting some lovely morning-light sparkliness...

...finished a new batch of copper & bronze clay pieces in time for market...

...not so dark on morning walks now that daylight savings is finished, but the mornings are getting colder - I'm sure our first frosty walk isn't far away...

...back at Wirrabara Producers Market on a sunny Easter Sunday & a lovely weekend at Flinders Street Market last week (& our new gazebo had its début)...

...think I might have mentioned before that we don't get lots of autumn colour around here (mostly non-deciduous trees), but there's one across the road from the information centre & I spent a bit of time taking photos last time I had a shift there...

...speaking of colour - finished off my batch of polymer too...

...baked a batch of Anzac biscuits on ANZAC day - it seemed like the right thing to & also they just taste awesome. Also made another batch of double chocolate banana muffins & we ate a bit of easter chocolate too...

...a few roses blooming in the morning light & some more bits & pieces on my window sill...

...& had fun playing along with April Love 2015 on instagram (even if I only did about half the themes).
