random thoughts

i had been feeling homesick for the great white north.

i especially miss dill pickle chips and cups of tea with mum.

i sat yesterday sorting through old photos.

they don't have these in canada!

it made me happy to be here.

am also thinking about chopping my hair again, it is now at mid back but i sorta miss the messy look in that pic. thoughts?

hope you had a beautiful week-end.

like a bird on a wire.

i don't think that 49 degree celsius heat is a happy thing. 

it makes me tired.

but sometimes if i take a moment i get to see some very amazing things.

like gallahs smiling on the power lines running beside my little house.

i think they are pretty sweet and blissful looking...

or the one on the right is sleepy like me in all the hot air blowing through the desert.

either way they made me smile.

any exciting plans for the week-end?

veg head.

veggie date for tea.

monsieur made rice paper rolls with what fresh veggies we have left.

i was very impressed with him~ and they were very yummy.

something this vegetarian will not miss is having to ration fresh food. 

bring on the farmers markets i say.

been enjoying this pretty blog lately, enjoy!

it's the little things.

my monsieur has always wanted his own snooker table. 

recently, i could afford one for him.

him and his friend had a blast playing together, but poor monsieur lost.

having a movie sunday, sometimes lazy is a good thing.

lately

went to sydney and canberra with 20 kids from the school for camp. It was so entertaining to bring these remote kiddies to the 'big' city to explore. I have always adored sydney but it was all new again through their eyes.

am feeling much more balanced after some soul searching. we were really struggling with making our way from the desert to another place (and any place really). i was uber stressed about getting a job, money, how to's etc.

then i took a bit of a break and thought it all through,

we are okay, at the end of this year i am taking some time off to visit my beautiful family back in canada and then moving to perth with monsieur and the pup. from there i will work it out, my goals are varied and being stuck into a job because am desperate for one doesn't seem like the right way.

so am back and inspired to be happy with where i am each and every moment.

havent felt like internet play lately. busy trying to get hired and packing boxes- moving from a very remote place takes a lot of planning. due to these things i have not had a creative moment so until i do shall bid adieu and hopefully be back one day soon.

smoochies lovelies,

♥ ashley

yokoo is love

etsy is an amazing place to play in. so many talented people in one spot. thus, discovering yokoo made me giddy as i am needing a warm and cozy scarf for my approaching (year end) trip back home to the great white north. 

i wish i had a knack with needles like this knitter.
