Summer Daze..

It has been a hot and long day here in Mildura. It's official I'm back in work mode and am madly trying to finish my first year teaching portfolio before tomorrow. I'm sure I'm just writing the same thing over and over now and am dreaming of creating lovely things instead but there is light at the end of the tunnel and it will be all finished by 5pm tomorrow. Then I've the fabulous job of getting my lessons ready for the start of term one next week (which means stationary shopping!)

I've given myself half an hour to write this blog and let my brain enjoy some lovely things before I get back to unit plans and teaching reflections so I thought I would share some of the beautiful things that I've been keeping myself motivated with today.

First up The Selby which features stunning photographs of of interesting people and their creative spaces. There is so much to look at on this amazing website, you need a few hours and many pots of tea to search it all. These are a few of my favourites..

The amazing office of Daniela Kamiliotis

The cutest Tea Pot ever at Cheri Messerli and David Rager's place

Lovely books and trinkets from peaches, bunny and lily

The other beautiful photographs I stumbled upon today belong to lifeLOVEpaper. They are so soft and delightful they made my day. Check out her lovely little Etsy shop. These are a couple of my favourites..

Pale Winter Rose

I heart Fabric (oh so cute!)

Well my half hour is over so I'm back to my year 7 unit plan about 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'.

Oh I almost forgot, I made it into another treasury today! Twice in a week, I'm feeling very special. Thanks so much to Sherry from Esprit * D'Art for including my Les Girls Altered Book Collage.

...a needle pulling thread...

Hope these fabulous photographs inspire your day too.
