I've had a few weeks from hell, but I don't want to go into that or be negative, so how about we just get on with it? :-)<br />
<br />
I discovered these pictures below one day on flickr. They are pages in a book I used to have as a little girl and absolutely loved. It was a story of a little doll who was sick of being the scullery maid in a big doll house so she decided to try and make it on her own. I love the illustrations, don't you?<br />

The green thumb belongs to my husband, but he is teaching me.<br />
Our vege garden is still in it's early days. We can't eat anything yet, but it's getting there. At least we haven't killed them yet!<br />
<br />

Last week:<br />
<ul><li>I mowed the lawn. Yeah ok, maybe half of it (we live on half an acre. With a push mower, that takes a lonnnnnng time!)</li>
<li>I went on a bustrip to the airport</li>
<li>I flew to Sydney for a conference. It was fun but the trip was quite short. No time to explore!</li>
<li>I spent a day in Brisbane with my hubby. We had breakfast at a little French cafe in the morning and wandered around in the city for the rest of the day.</li>
<li>I watched robots beating each other up in Real Steel (good movie actually!)</li>
<li>I went bookshelf shopping. Found a solid, second hand shelf for the office. Score!<br />
</li>
</ul><br />
This week:<br />
<ul><li>I'm home alone :( The hubby is away working for three weeks.</li>
<li>I'm rearranging the house while the hubby is away. Hehe, while the cats away the mouse will play! </li>
<li>I hope it gets warmer! This is supposed to be spring!</li>
<li>I'm sewing curtains for our bedroom. Need to get rid of the bedsheets-as-curtains look!</li>
<li>I'm watching as our vege garden is starting to come to life. I'll post some pictures sometime. Love seeing veges growing...</li>
<li>I'm reading The Girl Who Played With Fire. </li>

Feels like forever ago!<br />
This isn't all the photos we took. You'd be downloading forever if I did that! (You might still be yet!) but these are the best photos we took (I think). Sorry, but this is a photo heavy post. You have been warned! :)<br />

At Miles, there is a little touristy spot called the Miles Historical Village, which is full of historical buildings, artifacts and memorabilia from decades ago. It was a bit like a museum, but more fun!<br />
The first photo, Washed, was taken in this historical village. One thing I noticed about the place was all the collections of objects. Bottles (like those beautiful coloured ones above), cameras, typewriters, lamps, shells, collections everywhere! So I decided that as I was walking around the village, I would try and photograph as many "collections" as I could.<br />

Each little building was created as replica of one in the past - shops, barbers, pubs, even banks!<br />
The photo on the right is a set of scales found in one of the "corner shops". It was so exact, it could weigh a piece of paper!<br />

In Roma is Queensland's oldest winery, Romavilla. I can say that I was expecting a lot of history from this place, but I didn't expect to see an old rundown shed full of wine kegs hundreds of years old!<br />
<br />

The top of the Bunya Mountains are covered in lush rainforest and we stayed in a cabin, right in the middle of the rainforest. Think log fire, wine and cheese, good books and a beautiful rainforest just outside the door! Now THAT'S my kind of holiday!<br />
The next few photos were shot on a rainforest walk we went on. I'm not terribly good with the camera, so my hubby was giving me lessons as we walked through.<br />

<br />
Yes, it was a lovely time, and I kind of wish we'd had a bit longer. Unfortunately, we've spent most of the last seven weeks just trying to catch up from this holiday, so it feels like forever ago. The next holiday won't be until January/February 2012 sometime (if we even get one). At least it will be summer, but I don't think you'll want to see photos of me lying on the beach because that's all I'll be doing!Bronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00696969662082907398noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188028249211284167.post-11787044398006606582011-09-05T17:12:00.002+10:002011-09-21T11:22:25.252+10:00ABCI'm very sorry for the lack of posts! I've been madly trying to get some photos edited from our holiday recently. They will be coming soon, I promise!<br />
In the meantime, here's some useless tidbits about me. I don't normally like doing these meme kind of things, but this one seems like a bit of fun....<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #666666;">AGE</span> -</b> 28 years and 2 months<br />
<b><span style="color: #666666;">BED SIZE</span> - </b>Queen. Double is too small and I think I'd get lost in a King! <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #666666;">CHORE THAT I HATE</span> -</span></b> </span>Cleaning the shower!!<i><u></u></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">DOGS</span> -</b> None :( and I'm so sad about that. I'd really love a dog. We used to have a labrador when I was young and she was the cutest thing, but very lazy. If I were to get a dog now, I'd love a Nova Scotia Tolling Retriever (haha, look that one up!) or a pug or a golden retriever or a labrador or an english bulldog or or or....<br />
<b><span style="color: #666666;">ESSENTIAL START TO MY DAY -</span></b> A coffee! Unfortunate, but true. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">FAVOURITE COLOUR</span> - </b>I've gone through a lot of "favourite colours" over the years, so I've decided that I simply just love ALL colour! But at the moment, I do love yellow and orange and grey. Oh! And turquoise and coral. And! Ok, leaving this question alone now.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">GOLD OR SILVER</span> - </b>Gold, but I like silver a lot too.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">HEIGHT </span>- </b>Oh dear. I just got measured by the doctor last week and now I can't remember. 200-and-something centimetres. Helpful? No?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">INSTRUMENTS </span>- </b>Double bass! I've been playing it since 1998, which makes it 13 years! Wow! I also used to play flute and piano, but I'm pretty rusty (read: dodgy) on these now.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">JOB TITLE</span> - </b>At my proper job, I am a senior web analyst, but that doesn't come anywhere near describing what I do (ie. much much more than analysing). When I'm at home, I'm the chef, cleaner/tidier, sewer, gardener (at times), and general woman about the house.<br />
<b><span style="color: #666666;">KIDS </span>- </b>Nein no non. Not that we won't ever be having them, but not right now. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">LIVES </span>- </b>With my hubby on half an acre in beautiful, sunny Queensland.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">MOTHER'S NAME </span>- </b>Suzanne</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">NICKNAMES </span>- </b>Really? I've had so many over the years. Apart from normal ones, Norb, Chimesy, Bron-whiggams, Bronweena (thanks Dad!), Bronnikins (again, thanks Dad!), etc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAYS</span> - </b>None! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">PET PEEVES</span> - </b>Greed. There's just no need for it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">QUOTE FROM A MOVIE</span> - </b>Hahaha, oh dear. When I was little, I used to watch Disney's Alice In Wonderland over and over and over, so now I can quote a fair bit of it.<br />
"In my world, books would be nothing BUT pictures!"<br />
"The time has come, my little friends, to talk of other things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings. Haha! Callooh, callay, come run away! We're cabbages and kings!"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">RIGHT OR LEFT HANDED</span> - </b>Right handed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">SIBLINGS </span>- </b>One little sister and one little brother. Except they're not so little anymore.....</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">TIME TO WAKE UP</span> - </b>I aim for 6am, but that doesn't always happen. As for my hubby, well! After I've tickled, pulled the covers off, and almost resorted to throwing water, he gets up a little bit after me ;)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">UNDERWEAR</span> - </b>Am I wearing any? That would be yes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">VEGETABLE I HATE</span> - </b>I don't know that I hate any vegetables, but there are ones that I certainly don't eat as much, such as asparagus.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">WHAT MAKES ME RUN LATE</span> - </b>The hubby! Usually because my tickling (etc) to get him out of bed hasn't worked and then he dawdles around. Haha.<br />
<b><span style="color: #666666;">X-RAYS</span> - </b>Abdomen at some point (can't remember when but I've got the Xrays!) and teeth when I got my wisdom teeth out.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #666666;">YUMMY FOOD THAT I MAKE</span> - </b>Well, I am fairly good at making desserts (if I do say so myself) but can't really eat all that much of it myself. Yes, the hubby has got it pretty good!<br />
<b><span style="color: #666666;">ZOO ANIMAL</span> - </b>Cheetah. Just always been fascinated by them.</div>Bronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00696969662082907398noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188028249211284167.post-9100113360218535102011-08-19T16:24:00.000+10:002011-08-19T16:24:45.656+10:00Pinterest PrettiesAre you addicted to this site too? I've seriously had to put measures in place to prevent me from wasting HOURS on this site! So bad!<br />
I've decided I might start a little regular feature of "Pinterest Pretties" (a bit like Etsy inspiration!) showing some of the beautiful things I see on there (and I might add, some things on there are just rubbish, but I guess having different tastes is what makes everyone unique).<br />
So here goes.....<br />
<br />

I stumbled over <a href="http://www.amerrymishapblog.com/">A Merry Mishap</a>, by Jennifer Hagler, a little while ago and promptly forgot about it. Silly me, because it's full of stunning (and I mean, stunning!) interiors, vibrant colours, and pictures of her life with her husband and son. I've been looking at so many "crafty" blogs lately (not a bad thing) that I'd almost forgotten how much I love looking at beautiful interiors. If you have an afternoon, browse through this blog for awhile - you'll lose yourself for awhile!<br />

Hello!! It has been awhile, hasn't it? Sorry about that. Planning for a holiday, having said holiday and then the craziness of trying to get back into the swing of things once we got back left me with no time for blog posts I'm afraid. But I'm back and I had a great holiday!<br />
I've put a few quick photos up there from our holiday. These are mainly iPhone shots, so the quality is not so good. I did take quite a few photos with the SLR. I just have to find time to upload them. They'll be coming soon!<br />
For our holiday, we decided to do something a little bit different this time. Normally we would just go to the beach, but being winter here (and a particularly nasty one this year), we decided that the beach would quite possibly be really miserable and so we went out west instead. We first went through Chinchilla, Miles and Roma for a couple of days; and then we went to the Bunya Mountains for five days (which is technically going north, not west). Sitting in front of a log fire, in a cabin deep in the rainforest, drinking wine, reading books.... what more could you ask for?<br />
Anyway, I'll go into a little bit more detail when I upload the SLR shots. How is your week going?Bronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00696969662082907398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188028249211284167.post-55812136954934717632011-06-17T20:53:00.000+10:002011-06-17T20:53:31.039+10:00Lately<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="408" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7uLbRKcyiYY/Tfsp9trFgfI/AAAAAAAAAZw/A_hB1dhZ0aM/Picture%2525203.png" width="610" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">~ image from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xantheberkeley/5714334118/sizes/z/in/photostream/">Flickr</a> ~</span></div><br />
<b>Lately I've been</b> feeling really quite down about life. I'm not having fun anymore, I have no time to do anything but work, my house is always a mess and I feel stressed all the time. Do you ever feel like this? I find it so easy sometimes to get really negative about life and be one of those annoying "glass half empty" people. I think these next "Lately's" need to be positive!<br />
<br />
<b>Lately I've been</b> getting a bit excited for my husband who is about to complete his first semester of study at university! We made the difficult decision late last year that he would go back to uni, knowing that life would be a bit tight (ie money, haha) until he finishes. He's through one semester! Woohoo!<br />
<br />
<b>Lately I've been</b> making plans for a little holiday we're going on in two weeks time (to celebrate the end of my husband's first semester - and no I don't think we're going to do this every semester). We're heading to the mountains and staying in a little cabin with a log fire! I can't wait! There's rumour that it might snow this winter too (almost unheard of here). I'll show you some photos when I get back, promise!<br />

<b>Lately I've been</b> trying to make my wardrobe brighter and wear more colour. I mentioned this in another post a little while back but years ago I used to wear bright clothes all the time and I've let myself slip into the habit of dressing in dull black all the time. Don't get me wrong, black can be really stylish at times, but sometimes really dreary too! I don't have a lot of money to spend on clothes, so I've been trying to find my old bright clothes I used to wear, or checking out second hand shops for colourful items.<br />
<br />
<b>Lately I've been</b> making beautiful bouquets for beautiful friends and their wedding tomorrow!<br />

</div><b>Lately I've been</b> getting my hair cut! I haven't had it cut in over six months so it was starting to look a little ratty. Sorry, no picture this time. (Next time, maybe ;-))<br />
<br />
<b>Lately I've been</b> thinking about Christmas. Yes, crazy I know! It's ages away! This year we're hopefully having our families come to our place for Christmas, so I've been thinking about all the sweet little decor things we can do and the table decorations. Oh, it's going to be oh so much fun!<br />

On Saturday, we went on a roadtrip to Brisbane. We actually went down to take a tour of the lighting rig at the Kylie Minogue concert (yes, we're nerds) but it ended up being really interesting. We wandered down to a jetty in a part of Brisbane I've never been to before, Shorncliffe. Beautiful spot! We had a delicious meal at a restaurant on the side of the cliff and watched the lights twinkle over the harbour. It was so good to spend time with my man again. He's been so busy studying lately. Quality time it was.<br />
<br />
So how was your weekend?Bronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00696969662082907398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188028249211284167.post-36771702033278460822011-05-27T17:15:00.001+10:002011-05-27T17:28:27.059+10:00PapercupI stumbled over this gorgeous, Kiwi clothing line yesterday, called Papercup. Papercup is an independent label in Wellington, specializing in handmade clothes with a vintagey feel. They are just gorgeous!<br />
I'm so happy about this current trend of colour blocking in fashion at the moment. As a girl who just loves colour (and has been wearing way too much black in the last few years), it's making dressing up so much fun! (and I bought some bright yellow cords this week! Yay!)<br />
<br />

Welcome!<br />
I hope you like my new digs, and yes, it is a bit bright! I do like my bright colours, so I thought I'd show that side of me to the world.<br />
Now that my new blog design is here, I'm hoping to start up more regular posts again, which should be exciting (if not for you, then certainly for me! heehee).<br />
If anything looks a bit funny or doesn't work as it should, could you let me know? Just click Contact in the menu.<br />

Sorry for the silence, but I'm still busily trying to get the blog makeover done. In the meantime, I thought I'd share about a new online mag, that I'm sure everyone has already heard about, but I just couldn't resist! <a href="http://www.collectedmag.com/magazine.html">Collected mag</a> is by Krista Schrock and Jessica Comingore in LA, California.<br />
It is a very beautiful, clean design, which I just adore. Check it out if you get the chance.<br />

I feel like I've been falling behind with everything in the last two months, so these next 5 days will hopefully be a time for me to catch up, refresh and recharge.<br />

Things have been a bit quiet around here for the reasons above, but also because I've decided to do a blog redesign! I haven't quite been around for a whole year yet (so I hope this isn't too early), but I really want to start taking this blogging "thing" a bit more seriously, so I think a redesign is in order! <br />

I'm wordless! I get a bit that way sometimes.<br />I do have to say that I find writing quite difficult (and that's part of the reason I started this blog - so that I can practice writing and get better at it). I'm the kind of person who takes 400 words and turns them into 40 words... so when I'm tired, those 40 words turn into 4. I am tired today - there's 4!<br />I hope that you all have a lovely, relaxing weekend. My sister-in-law is staying for the weekend, so not much sleep will be happening, but at least it will be fun!Bronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00696969662082907398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188028249211284167.post-12573296417951766142011-04-01T10:12:00.005+10:002011-04-21T15:35:41.330+10:00Blog Love<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532637334214715154" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7DGHHcR3VHg/TMfgV6DupxI/AAAAAAAAAKk/chRW-Sqe2Js/blogLove.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 100px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" />Well, my one day of blogger's silence turned into well over a week.

I do have to say that even though I've never been there, I do have a soft spot for South Africa. Firstly because my husband is South African, and secondly, because they have a very similar climate, landscape and native plants to Australia (like proteas, which Maike seems to have in abundance in her home). Maike and her husband, Travis, are wedding photographers and own <a href="http://welovepictures.blogspot.com/">welovepictures</a>. Make sure you check out their blog. They have some beautiful wedding shots.<br />

She is a designer and stylist, living in Brisbane, QLD. She frequently has recipes accompanied by the most scrumptious photos that just make you want to run to the kitchen straight away! Her blog is "a visual diary of the things that inspire her". She also has a gorgeous puppy, Dexter! What more could you want?<br />

That's how my last 3 weeks have been. In other words, really frustrating!! I've been so busy and stressed that I'm getting home absolutely exhausted and getting absolutely nothing done. I'm really determined to at least make a dent (even if it's a small one!) in my to-do list this weekend.</div><br />TO-DO this weekend<br /><ul><li>10 million loads of laundry, plus cleaning</li><li>Mow the lawn</li><li>Go to friend's baby shower</li><li>Wrap present for said friend's baby shower</li><li>Organise the office (now that the hubby is actually using it!)</li><li>Go to church (on Sunday)</li><li>Vaccuum</li></ul>Do you think that sounds reasonable? If only I could get through all that! I can try!<br />And just to remind myself what a clean house looks like, some beautiful homes...<br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 360px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_7DGHHcR3VHg/TXnIOJWcA8I/AAAAAAAAAQ4/WwpmiFHmPbY/Screenshot2011-02-21at85832AM-1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582713358456193986" border="0" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">~ by </span><a href="http://vivafullhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/me-likey-home-in-croatia.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Full House</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> via </span><a href="http://pinterest.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">pinterest</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> ~</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 475px; height: 713px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_7DGHHcR3VHg/TXoAsTLSKsI/AAAAAAAAARU/3GJ200MWbI0/s512/1_kimberlyjh.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582775449140996802" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">~ by </span><a href="http://www.jenhuangphotography.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Jen Huang</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> via </span><a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2011/02/sneak-peek-kimberly-john-canale.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Design*Sponge</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> ~</span></div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 530px; height: 351px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_7DGHHcR3VHg/TXoC46yIiBI/AAAAAAAAARc/GUJPgQKFOvc/s720/ZC02.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582777864954611730" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">~ by </span><a href="http://www.livingagency.com/features.php?catalog=Interiors&ctg=Paris&cat2=ZOEDELACASAS"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Living Agency</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> via </span><a href="http://youaremyfave.com/a-fun-space-in-paris-is-my-fave/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">You Are My Fave</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> ~</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 680px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_7DGHHcR3VHg/TXoEMq3yl6I/AAAAAAAAARk/-lYRv762n0c/s512/port4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582779303792383906" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">~ by </span><a href="http://www.virginiamacdonald.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Virginia Macdonald</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> via </span><a href="http://decor8blog.com/2010/08/04/samantha-pynn-interiors/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">decor8</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span>~</div>Bronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00696969662082907398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188028249211284167.post-11535924593543284192011-02-22T21:49:00.010+10:002011-02-26T12:48:22.085+10:00Finding...Three cute little finds that I came across recently....<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 388px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_7DGHHcR3VHg/TWXAPxjwvTI/AAAAAAAAAQI/daDa5uQiLMU/021811ErinFeherHouseTour_11_rect640.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577075090802130226" border="0" /><span style="font-size:85%;">~ <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sf/house-tours/erin-and-danny-entertain-up-to-20-guests-in-their-500-square-foot-home-house-tour-139679">source</a> ~</span><br /></div><br />A very funky apartment in San Francisco (on Apartment Therapy).
