Day 77.

Throwback Thursday.
First days. I found all these photos on my mums iPhone.
Cant believe how much she's grown.

Day 76.

This weather is pretty fucking miserable. However, it's pretty good to stay inside & paint.
We popped up out to catch up over coffee with my friend Rene. He basically couldn't have come at a better time. Rene is a really talented photographer that shoots predominantly fashion, and although I have no interest in working with fashion, it was so inspiring to talk to a photographer who has made such a good name for himself. I'm at such a tricky/awesome place at the moment, where I have so many options as to what I can do with my life, and it feels like such a big leap to choose one path.
Rene gave me the kindest pep talk/slap in the face that reminded me to stop fucking around. To just start making opportunities for myself and stop expecting things to come to me. I always find it so frustrating to watch other people with talent or passion but just not enough nouse or motivation to make it happen. I am being that guy !
Anyway, a little bit of a rant but it feels good to have something in cement.
Willow has a cute new hat.

Day 75.

Things have been pretty crazy around here.
We keep ourselves pretty busy, every now and then it's nice to just stay at home, catch up on housework, sleep, knit, cook yummy meals. Being lazy is okay sometimes.
I forgot to mention earlier, Willow has started laughing. It's one of the best things that has ever happened to me. In my life.

Day 74.

Plum's new night light.

Day 73.

We went around to Naomi's for a cup of tea & to work on a portrait series that i am playing around with. Here is a little sneaky look see. & also just some photos of Willow for good measure.

Day 72.

We spent our Saturday perusing some of our favourite shops, Junk & Disorderly being our all time favourite. We go almost every week, so much of our furniture is from there, and it's such a great place to find interesting unique gifts.
We went to raw vegan yumminess Little Bird Unbakery for lunch, & took a little trippy out to Piha.
We got all snugged up, as it was absolutely wild and rugged & so so beautiful.
The west coast is always pretty rough, but I can't wait to go back once the weather warms up a bit and head in for a swim in the waterfall & a little climb up Lion's rock.

Day 71.

11 weeks old.
We had a night off, tonight while my mum looked after missy.
Chris and went to watch George's band play. We had so much fun, but at half time we sneakily looked at photos of Plum on Chris's phone because we missed her, haha.
