This Moment

 

{this moment} - A Sunday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from
the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause,
savor and remember.

Road Trip

Master O and I left Auckland on a road trip to the Bay of Plenty yesterday,

to spend some time with his grandparents.

I must confess I am really enjoying this time.

Master O is a real Daddies boy at the moment, I am second best.

So to get quality one on one time where your opinion counts first is great.

We spent 3 hours on the road listening to music, stopping to check out op shops, 

having lunch and discussing Rugby and Basketball in depth (really not my forte) .

My lovely 9 year old is a real joy to be with.

The time flies.............. this little boy is growing up,
 as I write this post he is playing chess with his grandad.

I will be back in Auckland on Saturday for Crafternoon Tea.

Woodland Fabric

This beautiful Woodland Print has inspired me to do a couple of Bambi Purses 

that I have lined with this print.

They are listed here on Felt

If not sold before the weekend they will be coming with me

to a new market.

Rhubarb Smoothie

I hope everyone had a great Easter.

 Master O loved his Easter egg hunt.

A while back I mentioned that my veggie patch was full on Rhubarb and I didn't know what to do with it all!

 Recently I went to a cafe on Waiheke Island and had a beautiful Rhubarb Smoothie.

I came home and googled Rhubarb and found out that it is full of wonderful things.

High in Vitamin A and K, plus Calcium and great for the immune system among other things. 

You can read more about it here.

I looked up Rhubarb Smoothies and after trying a few and adapting them here is the recipe I made up, it is enough for 3 glasses of smoothie.

RHUBARB STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE

1 1/2 cups of Rhubarb chopped to about an inch each (Fresh or frozen)

1 1/2 cups of  Strawberries (Fresh or frozen)

1 1/2 cups of Almond milk or 1/2 a cup of natural yoghurt and 1 1/2 cups of water

1 tablespoon of honey (optional)

2 frozen bananas (You can use fresh bananas but the smoothie is not as creamy)

2 teaspoons of Chia Seeds (Optional) They are a great super food you can read more here.

It is really yummy.

Enjoy!

Blanket Love

I have finished the "Blanket Love" series.

I do hope they sell as I so enjoyed doing them.

Hugs

Plus

Kisses

Equals Love

I found them very hard to photograph because of the glass.

I tried to make it that you could hang them individually or as a set.

That they would work either way.

I hope to sell them here for $45.00 NZD each.

I would love your feedback as this is a new venture and I would love to know what people think.

I personally swing from loving them, not being sure and then thinking I could do better.

I imagine most crafters feel this at some point or another...........
