Today the Nice to Meet You gang are linking up again, today our topic is: Favourite things you have made.Its hard to choose a favourite, but I really like how this project turned out. Sometimes they don't quite work like you have planned. I wanted a lantern or mobile to hang under the mosquito net over Little Miss J's cot. Something to move softly and catch her eye as she drifted to sleep. And I didn't want to spend a fortune. And I was heavily pregnant with limited creative energy. To make: One sunshine yellow paper lantern, two packets of gorgeous acetate butterflies, some silver jewellery wire, a glue gun, and about an hour of playing with different placements and I was done. Some butterflies are glued directly to the lantern, some are glued to strands of wire so they hover away from the paper. To finish off I hung a lavender crystal through the lantern which catches the afternoon sunlight, reflecting rainbows around the room.Little Miss J has always loved it. As I put her to bed I shake the net gently, the butterfly's flutter gently, and Little Miss J drifts off to sleep.We would love you to play along.

I really enjoyed meeting you all in our Nice to Meet You link last week. We seem to all have much in common: coffee is a biggie, reading, watching movies at home, exercise, gardening, making lists, making stuff, cooking, and of course the other people in our homes. I loved meeting you all but the ribbon goes to my favourite new reader Chris Olson of Momathon who I seem to have a lot in common with. I hated choosing just one because I loved all of your work.
The fitness junkies out there inspired me to get back in to exercise myself, I downloaded the Couch to 5k app and I did two runs this week. Hopefully this gentle programme will get me fit again without injuring my knee, I have a tendency to try to hard to soon. Yesterday I ran early on the Sydney bay side, it was a glorious morning and reminded me once again to be grateful for the life I am lucky enough to live.
