10 on 10
ten photos of my day...over ten hours
on the tenth day of the month
9am...the window in my sewing studio
checking emails before the school run
10am...inside our front door
french fishing nets
a badminton set
vintage windbreak
endless muddy wellies
baskets of very loved footballs
11am...stuck in supermarket christmas isle
went for loo paper & washing powder!
vowed to not add to reindeer collection
succeeded!
remember that i passionately hate supermarkets
12noon...drove home with camera on lap
clicked this across a farm on the edge of our village
love that after a supermarket trip
i drive the whole way home past working farmlands
makes me hate that particular supermarket a little less
1pm...hear that beautiful baby Bea has been born to one of the school mums
the first baby announcement my new i-phone has recieved
know in my heart that this is good luck for little baby Bea
think i will name my i-phone Bea
cut out baby Bea a special welcome to the world cushion
2pm...eat a very late lunch
with
sultanas
whilst checking off orders i've sewn
3pm...gather the orders into piles
stamp tags
wrap in black tissue
race out to school pick up
4pm...h.s gals maths homework
amazed at how much smarter than me she is at maths
amazed at her in general
love that she shows me all her finished work
know her work ethic is being adopted by her brother
who is doing his first on-going assignment with enormous enthusiasm
& love that he asks her for help & for her opinion
5pm...early pasta & vino dinner with kiddos
hubster at premier league football {read soccer if a sandy aussie} game in the big city
football {ditto above} mad son out for elite squad training
gals & mama at home eating italian together
6pm...a few ballet moves in jammies
tonight happiness is an early dinner
&
jammies
a glass of wine
&
remembering to capture moments of the everyday

Aww so beautiful... I have a big smile at little Audrey doing her ballet moves. Edie keeps asking to start, but we haven't sent her for classes yet... I think the hubby is procrastinating (many hours spent at his sisters recitals)... Our family dog is called Bea (Beatrix... after Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill... again because of the hubby)... Oh, and after seeing your wine... I think I'm going to have a glass of red! Thanks for the inspiration! Really wish I could share an actual glass with you! Lx
ReplyDeleteLove this set! You know I especially love the jammie ballerina! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's also always so gorgeous to see the foods you prepare. Reminds me of our family trips to Europe eating crusty bread and salami with mustard. Yum!
What a lovely set of ten!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your day...and now I'm hungry. You eat good, girl!
I love how you store your silverware!

ReplyDeleteLove it. What a lovely tale of your day. A very full day indeed. I love the sky snap and the silverware actually Melissa, I like them all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, lovely post. I spotted "Tesco" on your iphone and instantly got a pang of supermarket envy - I actually miss Tesco?? How sad! Love the idea of capturing a day like that. x

ReplyDeleteps Miss Sew and So do you taken on-line orders? If so where could I find you? I'm really liking your bunting and my gal (11yr old daughter) loves your Jack cushion (bottom of blog).

ReplyDeleteHi Melissa!
ReplyDeleteWell, again, a peek into your day is so lovely to watch, your pictures are really good!
And you know, you have your own style, in writing and photography that I begin to recognise as you! Love the little ballerina moves, and the curtains.
Thanks for sharing your day Miss M., loved it!

ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Melissa

Busy day! My favourite was your daughter's maths book and your musings about your admiration of her talent for numbers and her work ethic. And your son asking his sis for her advice on his school work - just beautiful! Your love shines through in your words and photos.
ReplyDeleteDearest Melissa
