Corner of my new nook

In an attempt to be more organised, I have cleaned the small ante room off our bedroom to create a space that I don't want to share. There is room for a desk and a small wicker credenza. I will be more organised, the paper work in my life will be more organised, I will know where important things will be kept. They will be kept here, at least that is the plan.

This is a corner of this new space, inspired by the collection of photos from Corners of My Home.

The painting on the wall is a depiction of the Universe painted by Tibetan Lamas on linen and was bought in Kathmandu.

The ceramic Winnie-the-Pooh holding balloons turns around as it tinkles music, and is my fondest childhood thing. My sisters and I were taken to a toy store in England when I was 6 (we were on holiday) and told we could choose whatever we wanted, and that is what I chose.

There are more photos here.

1st Day of School

It's the little big boys first day of kindy obligatory photograph.
He was v.brave, after sponateous bouts of wailing and don't leave me there moments, in the week leading up to the big day, there were no tears today. He said he wasn't frightened any more.

All he seemed to miss was his little brother. For the last two years they have spent every day close together (if only a door away at day care). That was something I didn't even expect to expect. Their paths have split.

Notes to me..

My Sister (in the blue) on holiday... way more adventurous than my week...

Paper Art from from this blog papeis por todo o lado - I can't understand the text, but the images are cool.
