Another busy week....not so much photo taking....a few sniffles hanging around in the back ground....

Here's to a delightful weekend.

Oh and the lemon meringue to go with it....

Celebrating the fact that my sister and I have the most awesome mother in law...yes we both have the same MIL...but that is another story for another day.

Come Back Creative Mojo...

I am so desperately hoping that some of my past creative mojo will return by the morning.....

 I am off to play in Jody's studio for the next 8 Fridays and I feel so unprepared.....

the great thing is that I know that Jody will be brimming with ideas and together I am looking forward to creating a new winter wardbrobe.

So stay tuned and ready for the flood of creations that will appear here....

....eeek that means some more selfies!!!!!

I can see clearly now...

Well sort of......still getting over the feeling I am wearing fish bowls on my eyes.....

..... I can see better with them though.

We have just spent three days in our beautiful south........

It started with a double rainbow......

an ironman champion in the middle.....

and finished with loads of fun with family..... 

one of those rare weekends when we have the opportunity to have none of our normal routines and schedules.....we run on race time and the rest is on fun time....heading away with family adds to the excitement and joy of hanging loose.

Hope you had a loose fun weekend too. xxx
