Spinning in the sunshine

I was lucky enough to have today off work to look after JD as his 2 usual carer's were unavailable, I so enjoy his company, it shocked me that this week we have spend 2 days together, just us as Lilli has been at my mum's, this is the first time it has been just to 2 of us for a whole day since i returned to work nearly 15 months ago. He is such a funny little man with a wicked sense of humour, we played puzzles, read books, played cars, hung the washing out together and swung on the swingset.

This morning while he was napping i took the opportunity to take "audrey" outside onto the verandah to spin in the sunshine - it was the most relaxing thing i have done all week, absolute bliss.

The Joy of Words on Paper

Excuse the mess - Admire the Books

When small things make your day

Today in the midst of my flu covered brain and aching throat, it's the small things that make me smile.

Like these geraniums that Lillian picked for me out of nanny's garden when we went there for lunch today and like the beautiful little Inner Stitch notebook that arrived in my mail box today accompanied by the latest shade card from Bendigo Woolen Mills - a Mohair, Wool Alpaca Blend.

Depression - The Art of Falling Apart by Melissa Smidt

This beautiful piece of art work was made by my bosses daughter, i was discussing with him my depression and using knitting as a creative force to mativate myself. He told me of this painting that Mel had done as part of her highschool art project a few years ago - i think it is beautiful and eloquent, haunting and tormenting, and most of all real.
