around here today

some mornings look a little something like this.

Excited that my seemingly unsuccessful attempt at growing herbs has literally come to life

Of old beat up things, new shiny (blue) things can come.  In the process of giving this old dresser named 'Bertie' a new life, a new shiny (blue) life. 

Weeks meals planned. Thank you, myself. 

 Planning bedroom color schemes.

 For Bertie, they will be white.

Slowly but surely, our plant stories are becoming success stories.

 I'm making a rug, like this one here. It is taking forever, but I don't mind.

friday, around here. shadows and sunlight

you know, there's not much sunshine going on around here, so when it comes around so very occasionally i can't help but think it the most beautiful thing. i follow it from window to window, room to room imagining the Vitamin D seeping into the grey of my skin, it feels like a kiss.

so there's that and a little of last nights impressive gluten free lasagna meal:

wait, what?? ... oh i just miss South Africa.
