<span style="color: #666666;">Hello!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">It's been a while. A long while. So much has been going on behind the scenes here and I've been pondering the future of this little space of mine.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Basically, I woke up one day and realised I was trying to do too many things, and as a result I wasn't doing any of them well. I was doing lots of things in an average way. That's not me, I'm a perfectionist and I like to give 110% to everything I do. I work part time and I'm a Mumma and I also have an incredible creative urge to satisfy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">So.....I have decided to focus my attention and do a few things well, rather than lots of things not very well. I take great pride in my role as a Mumma, so that is my first priority. I will also be focusing my attention on creating my handmade dolls and connecting with like minded people over on instagram. I would love it if you popped over and followed me there. It's a beautiful, supportive community, just search @mooseandbird.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">I would like to thank each and every one of you for visiting this little space over the years, it's been an absolute joy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Much love to you all.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">My Mum and Dad are an absolute blessing in every sense of the word. Their love is abundant and their generosity is bountiful. Last week my Mum presented these two little hand knitted kittens to Millie. It was love at first sight, particularly with the pink one. It is gifts like these that will be treasured forever, their neck ties will fray, their arms and eyes will be re-stitched and stitched again, and their stuffing will soften , but they will always be loved. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Do you love 'Nana Knits' as much as I do?</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Happy days to you!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;">I'm determined to present 52 portraits this year. I don't want to miss a week (or many weeks) like I did last year. I took this project on as a challenge and I'm determined to see it through.....so I'm playing catch up this week.</span></div>
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>19/52 -</strong> A Mother's Day portrait. Not the best photo, but it was a 'best of the bad bunch' kind of scenario.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>20/52 -</strong> My little crafty companion (an un-portrait of sorts). I love how her little hand is holding the paper in this portrait.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>21/52 -</strong> At the park with a sense of uncertainty. Maybe next time she might enjoy the slide and swings. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;">As a child I always dreamt of having a pen pal. I never did have one, but fast forward quite a number of years and here I am blogging about my very first pen pal package. This package was sent to the lovely Sophie from 'Her Library Adventures' and was inspired by her beautiful little girl, Tallow. A handmade rainbow package with pom poms, bells and watercolour details.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">In this parcel I included:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #666666;">A hand written note (essential)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666;">Some handmade scalloped watercolour gift tags complete with a pom pom and bell</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666;">A set of mini watercolour gift cards - a little something for my recipient to use and continue sharing the pen pal love</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666;">A rainbow garland made from hand dyed crochet motifs (in the box)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666;">Some handmade glittery clay star tags</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">I can't wait to put together my next package. Do you have a pen pal? I'd love to know what you include in your parcels?</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">1. A 'Nana Made' crochet daisy chain for Millie's 'big girl' room. She used the pattern kindly provided by the lovely Sophie over on the <a href="http://herlibraryadventures.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/easter-decorating-daisy-chain-love.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">'Her Library Adventures'</span></a> blog. I've seen so many beautiful crochet projects of late, I really need to find the time to teach myself. A new goal perhaps?</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">2. Beautiful roses at Sunday lunch.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">3. Belated Easter treats. Homemade <a href="http://mooseandbird.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/grandmas-marshmallow-recipe.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Marshmallows</span></a> and White Chocolate Rocky Road.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">4. & 5. A new to me thrifted cardigan. One of my Mum's lucky finds.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">6. My little brother made homemade Turkish Delight. He's a mega talent in the kitchen and whipped up a Middle Eastern feast for the whole family today. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">I hope your weekend has been a lovely one. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>Writing.....</strong>I wrote a few words about being a working Mum for the lovely Trishie over on the<a href="http://www.underlockandkeyblog.com/2014/04/motherhood-series-to-work-or-to-stay-at.html" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #f9cb9c;">'Under Lock and Key'</span></a> blog. I really enjoyed writing this little piece and hope you enjoy reading it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>Loving.....</strong>these <a href="http://downthatlittlelane.com.au/pigeon-pudding/product/2620-handcrafted-bali-dolls" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">'handcrafted bali dolls'</span></a> from <a href="http://downthatlittlelane.com.au/sellers/pigeon-pudding" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Pigeon Pudding</span></a>. These were an Instagram discovery and now a certain little someone is getting one for her 2nd birthday. I love supporting 'handmade', 'fairtrade' and 'small businesses'. These dolls are handmade in Bali by the Yayasan Kasih Peduli Anak (YKPA) foundation. YKPA is a not for profit organisation and registered orphanage which provides much needed care, shelter and education to neglected and abused Bali street kids.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>Eating.....</strong>I've been pinning lots of dinnertime ideas over on Pinterest. Our evening meals were becoming somewhat predictable and I was desperate to try some new recipes. The yummiest dish so far has been this <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/553872454145188108/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">'Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken'</span></a>. You should try it!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>Buying.....</strong>I managed to buy myself one of the last few copies of issue 1 of <a href="http://hundredsandthousands.storenvy.com/products/3122517-hundreds-and-thousands-magazine-starter-issue" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">'Hundreds and Thousands'</span></a> magazine. I can't wait for the postman to deliver it. Handmade at its best!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>Anticipating.....</strong>the new homewares collection by Beci Orpin.</span><span style="color: #666666;"> <a href="http://arrohome.com./"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">arrohome.com.</span></a></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"> </span><span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>Growing.....</strong>lots of lovely lemons. I love their imperfections, they say 'homegrown' and make them seem more 'real'. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>Sending.....</strong>my very first pen pal package. Hopefully the first of many more lovely exchanges. I'll post some photos of my parcel next week.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>Baking.....</strong>Millie and I made this<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/553872454143710776/" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #f9cb9c;">'Banana Cake with Greek Yoghurt Frosting'</span></a> today. I'm loving our little joint baking adventures.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">What have you been writing, loving, eating, buying, anticipating, growing, sending or baking lately?</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Every now and again I go through a period where I simultaneously feel inspired, crafty and enthusiastic. I wish I could bottle my excess enthusiasm during these times so I could draw on it during those lack lustre periods.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">I've been enjoying an extended period of enthusiastic crafting lately. I've completed lots of unfinished projects and other small tasks that have been on my to-do list for some time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">The foxy cross stitches above are what ignited my current crafty streak. I'm planning on turning them into brooches for some upcoming birthdays. I also put together my very first pen pal parcel over the weekend which I'm looking forward to posting about next week. Next were a pair of shorts for Millie which I made from a vintage sheet, and now I'm working on some new product designs for my little shop overhaul. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;">1. Homemade marshmallows. I've been making these marshmallows for years using my Grandma's recipe. They are my Dad's favourite. I posted the recipe <a href="http://mooseandbird.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/grandmas-marshmallow-recipe.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">over here</span></a> some time ago if you'd like to give them a go.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">2. Sponge painting.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">3. Rock painting. Millie was somewhat confused by this activity at first. Painting rocks. Say what??!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">4. Homegrown tomatoes. The tag said 'cherry tomatoes', somehow I don't think they are.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">5. Millie and I made Anzac biscuits on Anzac day. It seemed only fitting.</span> <br />

<span style="color: #666666;">I'm writing this post as a reminder to myself of what a great guy I have on my hands. It's kind of sad that I need to write it down, but sometimes, with all of life's ups and downs, it's easy to forget how good life actually is.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">For the past week while I've been resting <a href="http://mooseandbird.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/lovin-little-things.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">'post surgery'</span></a> Blake has single handedly done all of the washing (minus the folding), all of the cleaning (dishes, floors, bathrooms etc), cared for, fed and bathed Millie and generally organised all of us the best that he could. And most admirable of all, he hasn't complained once, no 'poor me', no 'when do you think you'll be better', not a word, and good golly I love him for that. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">So fingers crossed for a quick recovery from here so I can get back to sharing the load.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;">{the Easter edition}</span></div>
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">After some minor surgery to remove a cyst from one of my ovaries last week our long Easter weekend ended up being a relatively quiet one (for me anyway). For us, Easter is all about spending time with family, sharing a lovely long lunch home cooked by my Mum and brother. While I wasn't quite up to it this year, Blake and Millie enjoyed the festivities and my beloved Mum delivered my meal to our door - bless her heart. It was delicious, and just what the doctor ordered.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">1. A little DIY table centrepiece. Foam eggs covered in washi tape. It doesn't get much easier than that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">2. I made Millie a linen bunny for Easter. I used the floral fabric in the photo to make a gathered skirt and a thrifted doily to make a lace collar. If you follow me on instagram you would have seen a photo of the finished product (@mooseandbird).</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">3. Part of my 'home delivered' Easter Sunday lunch. Eton Mess with Rhubarb, Strawberries, Raspberry Coulis and Toasted Almonds. The main meal was Lemon Roasted Chicken, Sweet Potato Wedges and a Pea, Bacon & Haloumi Warm Salad. It was the best lunch I've had in a long time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">4. Roses from our garden, a welcome addition to our kitchen bench.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">5. My Mum made Millie this crochet Daisy Chain Necklace for Easter. She used the pattern kindly shared over on the <a href="http://herlibraryadventures.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/easter-decorating-daisy-chain-love.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Her Library Adventures</span></a> blog. Handmade gifts are by far the best gifts of all.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">6. Cute Easter packaging!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">I trust your Easter was filled with sweet treats and loved ones.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Happy days to you!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>Millie:</strong> Late last Sunday afternoon while I was preparing meals and snacks for the week ahead, you and Daddy went to explore the beautiful gardens of the old church grounds at Mt Mee. If you and Daddy go out, just the two of you, this is where you always go. You love the flowers and the freedom and he loves the drive.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>Millie:</strong> Over the past few weeks she's taken a liking to all things 'pink'. Pink beads, pink clothes, pink shoes, pink plates, pink cups. If it's pink it's bound to make her gasp.</span><br />

A pretty perfect Saturday afternoon with friends at <a href="http://www.dandeliondriftwood.com/#!/home" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;">Dandelion & Driftwood</span></a>. Celebrating my 30th birthday with the best chai ever and a rather delicious macaron or two (amongst other yummy things).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">2. She didn't want to touch the wet grass with her bare foot. It made me laugh, as did the one legged attempt at gardening that followed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">3. A rainbow after the storm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">4. A lovely birthday gift from my brother and his girlfriend. So happy to have this in my collection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">5 & 6. She's been wearing her favourite hand-me-down dress again. Colour and pattern are definitely her thing.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><strong>Millie:</strong> Your independence is growing by the day. You often take your dirty clothes to the washing basket, your spoon feeding skills are getting better and better and you've even tried blowing your own nose a few times. Baby girl, or not so baby girl, you're growing up so fast.</span><br />
