~ a peek at our week ~

 

 

Photos this week are all from my phone again - and some have already been shared on IG.  It's like instant blogging.

1. Cosmos in my garden.  The one shot from 50+ that I was happy with as I continue to experiment with my real camera on M.  I am frustrating myself at how slow I am to understand the whole shutter speed/aperture thing.

2.  Ballet lesson.  We're only allowed to watch once or twice a year.  Grace is 2nd from the L - I was shocked by how tall and thin she looked in this shot.

3.  I've had another lucky week!  I won a give-away on this beautiful blog.  Thanks Ness!! 
I was lucky enough to open a parcel with a plate, necklace and two gorgeous little tags.  The hair slides I made...they're very happy in their new home.

4.  Frosty has been hiding in the freezer for a few weeks so that he felt at home.  It felt cold enough this week for him to come out and explore.

5.  PJ day at school.  

6.  We went to Launceston to watch Freo play Hawthorn.  Not the best result for us but its been so long since I watched live football.  We used to go all the time when we lived in Perth (pre-kids).  This was the obligatory stop on the way at Campbell Town.  Lovely soft, autumn light through the windows at the Red Bridge Cafe.

7.  A daily dose of pretty on my IG feed (well, most days)

8.  Cutest stamp ever on one of my postcrossing cards this week.

It's  school holidays now.  We're off to the Great Ocean Road to meet up with some friends who are driving across from Adelaide.  So exciting.

Hope your week is fabulous. I'm joining in with  the lovely Em to share some bits of our week.

~ things I've learnt (the ballet version) ~

Ballet concert season is approaching fast.

It's the Wizard of Oz this year (no, I never knew that was a ballet either).

It's been two years since the Nutcracker and I had forgotten the rehearsals, the make-up (on that sweet, soft skin - enough to make me cry) and the whole palava of it all.

This year Lady L is a clown (who knew there were clowns in Oz?) and Princess G is a farm girl (who has to dance with a "ridiculous" farm boy).  Thankfully my follicularly challenged girl is not to have a bun this year (sighs of relief all round).

So this weekend has seen me sew on my first ever press studs (amazing that I've got this far without that skill really) and do my first ever perfect ballet bun (even if I do say so myself).

{ta-daaa}

Maybe, just maybe, I can be an ok ballet mum even if I won't slather the make-up on and use glue instead of stitching on my sequins.

Maybe?

How was your weekend?

Learnt anything new?
