today we baked

Sun is out, it feels like summer, finally. We ate a full box of cherries with A. today and baked cherry muffins. 6 muffins + pint of milk + me + my daughter + 1/2 hour = nothing left. Shame on me, going for run in the morning....

inspired weddings

Is another book lying on a side of my bed. I enjoy flicking through the pages, reading ideas and tips. Beautiful book about wedding styling. Matthew Robbins picks certain object as a painting, french candy, a cup or shells and creates a theme based on colours and textures. There is 9 themes, and it tells you everything from who could it be for, when is the most suitable to use the theme, food tips and styling, table decoration. A must for a wedding stylist and someone who's planning to design their own wedding. Just really pretty!

we are family...

The weather in Uk was just horrid last couple of weeks so one afternoon last week I decided to pull out a large canvas which I was keeping for "one day", when start painting again, and told A. she can paint whatever she wants. At first she was a bit hesitant as it was a quite large space to fill but once she got Gruffallo to help her, she was fine:) Of course I controlled her a bit:). There was a limited colour choice and I tried to encourage her not paint everything black and pink. I really enjoyed teaching her long strokes with brush, mixing colours and it was just great fun. In the end she wanted to draw our family. Surprise! and I ended up being the fattest and tallest one! not true!! although it feels like it today after not moving all day...

what are you wearing this spring?

Yesterday I tried to persuade Anya (almost 4) that being cool is better then being just pretty. She was refusing to wear something I chose and was desperate to wear  a pink skirt which is becoming very small but still her very favourite. It was something like that:

me: "can you wear this please?"

A: "no I want to wear this pink skirt !" ( pulling out skirt which I hid at the bottom of her draw)

me: "come on, you wear this all the time... this is (pointing at skinny jeans and in my opinion very cool top) much better, it looks really cool!"

A: " but I don't want be cool! I want be pretty!"

me: " but being cool, it's better then just being pretty........blah blah...etc.

It's sometimes hard to fight with Barbie, even if the only one we have at home is on DVD and is a surfer...so sort of cool:)

lack of sleep

Do you like to sleep ? I do. A lot. But since having A. and starting my own business I just can't get enough. Very late nights, early mornings, it's just killing me. I got used it  but every so often I wish I could stay in bed all day and read books, laze around and dream. But hey...having a child and business was my choice. Yesterday, while taking some new photos for my shop I decided to lighten up our bedroom a bit. Black and grey out, more white a bit of pink in. Now, what am I doing? I should really go to bed...sweet dreams.

happy easter

Thank you all for your birthday wishes, we had a great time with my family. Went away for the weekend to a lovely old spa town, walked and talked a lot. I was planning to show you some photos, but left my usb cable at my parents house so has to pick it up next week. I left A. with them for another week as she is on Easter holiday, and flying back on Wednesday to pick her up. I'm planning to do loads of diy, finish few projects and spent some time with M. Tonight we are going to Camden to see first bigger gig of my step son. Ah...to be 18 again:) ....Have a lovely Easter weekend! I will be back with a giveaway and hopefully some finished projects to share next week.
