Thank you my lovely friend Alecat from Serenades and Solace for awarding me as a beautiful blogger- I am honoured.
The regulations state the recipient of the beautiful blogger award must:
*Add a link and a note of thanks to the person giving the award,
*Pass the award onto the most beautiful blogs you love
*Share 7 things about yourself.
Blogging is such a peculiar pastime, I often feel like I am sitting here in my pj's and jotting down my thoughts or our days homeschool adventures and it is quite a solo experience, but when I read all of your lovely comments or am given an award or as has occasionally happened I meet a reader in real life I realise how nice that feedback is, how lovely to have others interested in what the boys and I are doing and even inspired by our activities. So thank you Alecat for your award and for sharing all you do on your lovely blog, I am often inspired by what you and Maestro and Mariposa are doing and it has been a lovely journey we have travelled together as we have developed our friendship online.
There are many beautiful Blogs that I love.
Here are 7.
Joannes beautiful photographs at Framed are a rare but special treat.
Moonbindery is a very talented and inspiring maker of hand made books.
Monika and her Bohemian Shadows is a delight, I enjoy her art, her thoughts and the inspirations she shares.
India Flint is an incredibly talented artist who does magic with natural dyes, her beautiful blog is not all those who wander are lost
I love to read what Ariad and her gorgeous kids are up to at Rainbow Love Farm
Kez's blog is another great blog I enjoy as a peek into anothers homeschool.
And the last but certainly not least beautiful blog I will share today is Barnacle Goose Paperwork's another fabulously talented artist writer and bookmaker.
And 7 things about me.
~I have just moved into a beautiful warm house with stunning river views and I am so happy about that. I have a drafting table and some shelf space permanently devoted to my art space- yay!
~After years and years without a bath tub I am having 4 or 5 long soaks in the tub each week. I take something to read and a cuppa and lie back in the warm and fragrant bubbles and R E L A X ahhh
~Some of my best friends live in my computer, I am a member of The Rockpool Homeschool forum and Milliandes art community for women and both of these online communities are wonderful safe supportive places than nourish me and many many other women. I feel blessed to have these communities in my life.
~I love to cook and to experiment with new recipes, we have been eating lots of fish from the local co op and I want to make a nice fish curry in the next few days.
~ I have a huge colony of red headed flying foxes living in some remnant rain forest near my home and I love them. I love the musky animal smell and the noises and the thousands of bats that flow through the sky just after sunset, and I love the ones that get in my garden and wake me at night, their cheerful chatter delights me, just don't tell the locals ; )
~I have pulled a muscle in my b.. last night at scouts, my gluteus maximus I think it is called and am hobbling around, but it was a great reason for a soak in the bath today. I hope it does not take too long to heal.
~I adore my kids and love our homeschooling lifestyle. I love seeing them learn, develop and grow.
~I am preparing a body of work and a portfolio to apply to a local art gallery to be an exhibiting artist in their gallery.

Thanks Louise - I'm terrible at getting around to putting them on my blog, so I'll just say thanks!
I hurt my back at cubs the other night - pulling kids along the floor with a rope :) (We were rescuing kids from a fake drowning..) It's a dangerous occupation - and I just go along to help!!
Can't wait to see photos of your new space.
thank you so much for thinking of me. it's a lovely award, and thans for your kind words too.
Hello my friend,
I'm glad to hear you're settling in okay.
Ouch, your poor muscles! If you can get hold of some Arnica (via health food stores), we've found it most beneficial when we have tight muscles or bad bruising. It's a herbal tablet, but can be a topical ointment also.
I read your most recent post about the sugar cane. Mariposa was asking about the process of making sugar after we tasted some molasses.
Thank you so much for the award. I'm being very slow to blog at the moment so I do appreciate your support. I do like to see other Australians out there in blogland and from your photos I can see you live in a very beautiful place. All the best, Carol
Thank you Louise! Yes, I need to get out more and make photography less of a rarity. Life gets in the way sometimes, hey?
I'm very happy to hear that you have many joyful things in your life. Times of change require adjustments but it seems you are finding plenty to keep you occupied and the boys are blossoming.
Thanks very much for the beautiful blogger award -- I really appreciate it! :)
