sunlight + shadow patchwork.

--------------
Another week, another peek at the moments in our nest.
Granted, with all this lovely warm weather.. we're more 'there' than 'here'.

Lots of playing in parks.
Swinging in the sunshine.
 Picking fresh tulips from our garden.
----
More sewing, more painting... all my skyscapes are finally done for the start of this show at Black Honey Cafe (up for 6 weeks after Mother's Day!).
<Insert happy dance>
It's been a great chance to experiment again, and I'm really happy with the new collection I've created here (lots more to see at the show, too).
----

It's a busy week/weekend ahead with family *reunions* and mother's day visits... and getting the art all ready to hang.
I may disappear for a bit... 
----
Ch-ch-ch-changes are on the horizon for our wee nest too.
I'm excited.sad.happy.hopeful.unsure about it all.
(Don't you just love vague statements like this..?!)
Sorry.. but I'll keep y'all posted.

All that to say we've been really, really blessed lately.
Seeing God work through His church - our 'chosen' family - to help us, is humbling and wonderful.
God knows our needs.
His mercies are new every morning.
----

That's us, 
how are you doing this week?

Mel ;o)

*Homemade hummus recipe (in the highly unmeasured style of my cooking!)

+ Chick peas (smaller can, rinsed).

+ garlic clove (1-2 if you like a nice hit).

+ lemon juice (2 - 4 tblspns)

+ sesame oil (2-4 tblspns)

+ salt/pepper (dash)

Combine all in a food processor... adding equal parts lemon juice/sesame until it blends to a creamy smooth paste.
Enjoy with raw veggies, pitas... etc.
Mmmmmmm... hummus!
