LISTEN - to Miss Indi and Geoffrey Williams' recording of Ho Hey. #proudmotheralert
MEDITATE - by taking some time out for yourself to crochet/knit/sew a motif. The weekend is such a great time to catch up or even start on your motifs. And if making them is just not your thing, why don't you check out the #MotifDayMay hashtag on instagram, there's some really gorgeous stuff going on over there.
KNIT - Gidday, the brand new pattern by Tikki Knits. It is such a cute little cardi, I'm really hoping Georgie releases the mama version soon, I want one too.
LOVE - the season you are in. Get out amongst it. Lay in the autumn leaves here, pick a bunch of bluebells there, breathe it all in, we'll be moving right along soon enough.
LISTEN - to this podcast about understanding chicken pox. Yep, Miss Jazzy has the miserable things (not in this photo of course), I wonder who's next. (Thanks for the link Farmdoc xx)
POD - your beans and save them in jars, some for eating over winter and some for replanting next year.And above all have a gorgeous few days. We're hoping to do a bit more work on the woodpile and we're planning to see The Grand Budapest Hotel at The Rex tomorrow night. Yay!
How about you, got anything fun planned?
Big love
xx

ReplyDeleteThis weekend we'll be catching up with my mother in law for a belated Mother's Day and hubby and I are off to cut redgum on a friends property. I just want to be outside making the most of this beautiful weather we've been having before it turns cold again! Have a good one! x Dre

ReplyDeleteWe are in the middle of purchasing a used vehicle. Our daughter will be driving next month, so we needed another car.
ReplyDeleteAlso, hope to get some to sit outside and enjoy some warmer weather. We have had loads and loads of rain and temps dropped into the 30's, very unusual for May for Indiana. We are supposed to have warmer temps the next two days, keeping fingers crossed:)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say I've got the new novel by Cheryl Strayed coming to me soon to review! Can't wait! X
ReplyDeletewow wow WOW! Love Indie's song!! What a talent. The motifs and the jumper are fabulous too. So many gorgeous photos... are you using a new camera, Kate? They look more vibrant I think. Have a lovely weekend :) Kx
ReplyDeleteWOW you Indie's voice is superb. I hope she has the opportunity to do something wonderful with this gift she has.
ReplyDeleteAnne xx

That song was something else! You could have a hit on your hands I think. A beautiful warm and fuzzy post- thanks Kate.
ReplyDeleteAh your sweet girl has a pretty voice like her aunty yes?! That cardy is gorgeous...that big autumn tree takes my breath away - so pretty... I so want to see that movie.... This morningI got to photograph my daughter and future son-in-law in the most amazing morning sunshine light, in a silver birch forest in the mountains, in the peak of it's autumn glory! Twas so spesh... tmrw garden & craft plans :-) x
ReplyDeleteYey for Indi recording a song! We've had some chicken pox scares this year in my family and among friends, but they didn't eventuate into real chicken pox, some look-alike virus. I had so much fun crocheting a mandala last weekend (Mothers Day) that I kept going and it turned into a big doiley. Enjoy your Sunday.
ReplyDeleteIndi sounds amazing…you must be a mama!
ReplyDeleteKate o would really love to know where u get the patterns for your motif a day. I thought I read it somewhere in your blog a long while back but I have looked and looked and I can't find it. I teach at our local steiner school and i have a colleague who is retiring and we would like to make her a communal blanket out of flowers or squares where lots of folks can contribute. I don't really knit or crochet but showed a friend your pictures we are a little in love and would love to know is there a good website book that you could recommend
ReplyDeleteHi Ariel, all my mitifs so far have been from a book called - 75 Crochet Floral Blocks by Betty Barnden. Have fun! x
DeleteOur caravan arrived this week, so this weekend we cleaned her (while Nick & the children scrubbed the outside I sat inside and daydreamed). We leave for our 12mth coastal lap of Australia in January 2015. Beyond excited! Tonight I am going to re-read some of your travel posts, while Nick continues to investigate what car to buy to tow our van.
ReplyDeleteI listened to Indi's version of Ho Hey - it was freaking awesome! She's got stacks of talent, just beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteLoving Autumn ... and also dying to see The Grand Budapest Hotel.
ReplyDeleteIndi needs a record deal stat .... L O V E the song!
ReplyDeleteBoo to the chicken pox ...
The song, I listed too, fantastic, so joyful, I would even hazard that I like it better than the original!
ReplyDeleteyuck! chicken pox is the worst! i had them as an adult and still cringe at the thought of them! hope jazzy is doing ok, flick x
ReplyDeleteps: how did you like the Grand Budapest Hotel - best movie i've seen in years :)
Hope Jazzy is felling better. Chicken pox is pretty hideous, especially as an adult. I somehow missed out as a child (God knows how considering I was at boarding school) so had my dose when my son got it at kinder and kindly passed it on to his sister and mother. The level of discomfort is indescribable. The upside was that the Blood Bank LOVED me and I gave blood every six weeks for the six months following because you have some sort of fabulous antibodies that they can do stuff with.
ReplyDeleteDear, I listened to Miss Indis recording all weekend, it's so nice! And I just realized - weekend was already over two days ago!? Thank you so much proud Mama!
ReplyDeleteOh I love Indi's song!! Such a talent :)
ReplyDeleteOh my. I loved Indi's song. She has such a lovely voice and I'd buy her album in a flash if only it was available. Proud mama moment well-deserved.
