Our vege garden....

We are trying to live our lives with respect and thought for our beautiful planet....true, we don't always tread lightly but each day we aim high and add another environmentally conscious act to our list.
This is our vege garden, it's a work in progress as all gardens are, and it's here that we spend a lot of time as a family. It's relaxing and fun at the same time.......we get yummy things to eat and our children get dirty (oh so much fun for any child) for a purpose.

This is the WIP of our vege gardens......
This is our strawberry patch.....our kids adore strawberries so we have to grow a lot

And this mornings pick......

Our patch of mint......it WAS a small plant......


The sunflower seeds our boys helped Daddy plant.....

And this is Daddy's project.....growing pines native to our area.

Spring flowers,babywearing, crafts....

It's spring here on my side of the world and mother nature sure has put on a display - these pics are just a few of the flowers brightening my days.......







And of course the other things brightening my days:

My beautiful new daughter Calliope, she's 8 weeks now - this is her in one of her fav positions....snuggled against me in my babywearing mei tai wrap.


And a cheerful shipment of yarny goodness - this lot is from 'Family Pendragon'.....highly recommend their dyeing skills and yarns!!!!



And sewing.....I find hand sewing so relaxing and comforting. These cute organic cotton embellished baby tees can be found in my shop :)
