Friends.

Good friends. Aunty L gave us a huge lasagne last week which was absolutely delicious.

We have been blessed in so many ways by Aunty L: lovely clothes for the little girls, treats, lovely times at their home, choc chip cookies, chicken and corn soup, lifts to and from ballet, babysitting- allowing me to be in the classroom with our 8 year old daughter when she was in kindergarten and so many more things.

We think alike in many things, love lavender and use tea tree to clean our houses.

Our dear sons are friends and hence we met. A jolly good thing.

A Cage.

A cage to stop Noddy the cat from eating the new salad leaves.

The Paverpol and Scarecrow Gang.

The Paverpol lady has now joined the scarecrows.

Beach Holiday.

A little break right on the beach.

Hazel Has a Sleepover.

The Vintage car that husband E and his Dad restored has had a sleepover after a visit to the local mechanic.

Her name is Hazel as her rear view reminded E's parents of a character in a comic strip called Hazel.

Paverpol.

Our finished ladies, mine is the one at the back with no added clothing......

Samples that Denise from Paverpol brought.

Early steps.....

Paverpol.

Mum treated the groovy Aunt and I to a Paverpol workshop. Mum's friend A. was the gracious host and set the scene for a day of relaxation and creativity. Our instructor Denise was patient and had thought of everything.

We started with aluminium sticks and foils. We moulded the 'skeleton'. Added a head and petite nose. Then we built up the body. We dipped fabric in Paverpol and bandaged our sculptures. The Paverpol product will dry hard and be waterproof. Some of the ladies then dressed their sculptures while I left mine as she was. She is heading for the lavender patch in the garden.

We were thrilled with our individual pieces.

The Groovy Aunt has made a sculpture for her new wholistic business premises.

First Thing in the Morning....

while the house was still and quiet, children sleeping in in the holidays....
Cup of tea, toast and reading a book about a man who has started "Christians Against Poverty".
