Taking Stock :: September

I've always loved reading Meet Me at Mikes' Taking Stock posts, so this month I thought I'd join in.  A little about my life right now...

Making : A new range of silver jewellery, inspired by the scales and colours on Koinobori.  I've also been making some Kanzashi again.

Cooking : A birthday cake for my mum, yesterday actually.

Drinking : Tea, lots of it, all day long.

Reading: The Service of Clouds.

Wanting: Some more free time.

Looking: At the mountains on my morning walks.

Playing: With my daughter, we're loving the beach in this weather and our year-long pass to the zoo.

Deciding: On designs for my bathroom renovation.

Wishing: I could clone myself.

Enjoying: The weather and my garden.

Waiting: For a night time cough to go away.

Liking: My life.

Loving: The "Tuesday Adventures" that I have with my daughter.  We're trying to make the most of the time before she starts school next year.

Considering: A bit of change in the direction of my work next year... 

Watching: Reign.  Oh how I love a historical drama, especially one with gorgeous costumes. And my guilty pleasure, The Block.

Hoping: That I can arrange another trip to Japan next year.

Marvelling: That our new nectarine tree is fruiting so well already.

Needing: A good night's sleep.

Smelling: The jasmine flowering outside my studio.

Wearing: Right now, pajamas.

Following: Lots of people on instagram.

Noticing: How much better I feel by cutting out certain foods that my body doesn't like, which sadly includes chocolate and strangely enough, cauliflower.

Sorting: Wholesale and online orders. 

Buying: Locally grown produce.  The strawberries are delicious at the moment.

Feeling: Content.

Snacking: On left over birthday cake.

Hearing: Right now, a wonderful silence which means that my little one has fallen asleep.
