see you later

Last week was my busiest ever week (sarah&bendrix) and it was very hard. It's becoming increasingly difficult to balance family, my work, little Anya and to be honest, normal life. I'm not complaining, no no ...I'm extremely grateful, but I have to change some things. To make everyone around happier and myself included. A. is so sweet and she is growing so fast! She likes to ' cook ' with me at the moment. She has got her little pots and pans..

Yesterday we had arty day. We were well prepared, but it didn't last long. A. doesn't like to be dirty:) After 15 minutes of painting she was closing the pots and cleaning her arms, and whinging ...."dirty..dirty" ok then..I just tried..

So we went back to safe territory and started drawing. She loves it. And the second picture? Her work after few hours. She is very patient for her age...:) just joking:) my 11 year old stepson's work.

I have to go pack now. Tomorrow Portugal! Lisbon! can't wait. Going for weekend with my sister! just us two. nice. See you later everyone!

A. loves reading

She climbs up and throws books down

they all flying down....

but then she picks them up...

She climbs on the sofa and covers herself with this blanket (our reading blanket:)

and reads, mostly with me, but sometimes on her own....

and reads....and reads

then sleep....

white ? or white

Before...

I had a little bit more time the last couple of weeks so I was able to catch up with some stuff around the house and cross off a few lines on my list. We had been given this birch wardrobe a while ago same as the rocking horse and my plan was to paint or wallpaper them. I had quite a few ideas for the wardrobe (as usual), the same wallpaper all over, different wallpapers for each draw etc...In the end I surprisingly painted both white. How original:)...I figured with white cot, tiny room and with my obsession for changing and moving things this is the easiest option. I have never been a pink girl and before A. was born our house and previous flats were beige, white and black. Same as my clothes. I used to live in black, now I wear it rarely. Colours slowly crept into my life and house.

I had a lot of questions and emails about this room lately so here are some answers:

wardrobe - old ikea (discontinued product), cot- ikea, bedding - mamas & papas, throw- laura ashley, rocking horse- gift, tree- dwell studio, wings- pedlars, pictures- me (sarah & bendrix), felt birds- me. room size - 4.4sqm (tiny)

Have a great weekend!

back to school

I couldn't wait this time. This school holiday felt sooo long. Is it just me ? or are two boy teenagers generally annoying for everyone after 6 weeks of holiday ???
