Soothing Sights

It's been a long hard Winter and 2/3 of the way into Spring I think I'm still thawing out. Our days are pretty full and this blog is not the only thing that's been neglected.

I was just having a little perusal through some pretty pictures that I've stashed away in the bowels of this computer and while I gather my thoughts in the lead up to a more informative post, here a some of my favourites to share with you. The pictures are totally random and I never labelled them properly. I'm lazy like that. If any of these pics are yours I give you full credit. I have collected them for their inspiration factor and pure viewing pleasure.



The gorgeous Monica Belluci from The Brothers Grimm

Moopy and Me

Neck warmer by Hyena In Petticoats




Elsa Mora papercut. (Isn't she incredibly clever!)



Gaultier

Red Tara




Barcelona apartment





And there's plenty more where that came from. And again, if I've swiped your pics, I apologize. It's just that they're so yummy.

Discovered

I might be a little late to the party but I am smitten by the lovely Emiliana Torrini whom I discovered via a beautiful birthing video by this special lady. And total buggeration, she has just finished an Australian tour!

It seems I have a thing for kooky Icelandic singers. You know who else I'm talking about.

A Blog is Born!

Ok. Here i am. Hello. I've been deliberating and procrastinating about starting my own blog for months now; inspired by the writing and photos of others and feeling a bit cheeky about enjoying other people's blog without contributing anything myself. My apprehension was mainly because i couldn't quite decide on a topic or theme to stick to. I love craft blogs but i'm not a particularly prolific crafter, i love yoga but i couldn't be bothered writing about it all the time, i love being a parent but i'd rather read about it than write about it and i enjoy writing occasionally but not usually for the consumption of others (i am perhaps scarred by the comments of my year 10 teacher who said my writing was "obscure"...i had thought i was being poetic! ).

However, with a little encouragement from the lovely Leah of Hyena in Petticoats, here i go! I realised that what i really enjoy about other blogs is the day to day stuff that is shared and occasional bursts of inspiration from a beautiful photo or story or humour. I can have a humble little blog (and i've got nothing to sell) and create a collection of snippets of things that i love or am inspired by.

Anyway, the photo below is of the thing that i love the most in the world;


And here is another beautiful thing;




but i only had a hand in creating one of them.
