Blogliciousness: Baby Mac


Blogliciousness n 1 Desirable, yummy, inspiring and/ or entertaining blog. 2 A potential new blog to love.



"Return of the Mac, it's return of the Mac..." 

Oh, sorry... I was drifting into embarrassing lyric mode again there. Admittedly not quite as tragic as my Happy Days moment, but still.

The reason for my mis-spelling of Mack is the feature of this maiden voyage of Blogliciousness.  



Have you met Beth?

She's quirky and honest and very, very brave. Just weeks ago she tree-changed with her darling husband and two littlies. It must have been daunting to leave the inner-city and move to the country, but she has soft landed into one of the most gorgeous parts of the world. Better still, she's moved straight into the pages of Home Beautiful and we get to turn green watching her pull her desirable home together.

So with Baby Mac you get self-reflection, cynical wit, home decorating and acute observations of country life all rolled into one lovely blog. She's pretty handy with a camera too. What's not to love?

Best wishes for your Home Beautiful move, Beth. I'll be right there for all the good times and the bad times.


Pop over to see Beth, but before you scamper, tell us about a blogger whose lifestyle you admire. Don't forget to add a link so we can check them out!

still life sunday

This is the back of our rental. At first glance, it's daggy, dull and in need of renovation. Pick up a camera and you'll see interesting patterns (latticework), textures (flaky paint), shades of white and a place to display the hydrangeas. It's a new way of looking at things and one of the many reasons I'm drawn to photography.


n., pl., still lifes.
  1. Representation of inanimate objects, such as flowers or fruit, in painting or photography.
  2. A painting, picture, or photograph of inanimate objects.
still-life still'-life' (stĭl'līf') adj.

On Monday I showed you the Winter Woodland Christmas theme I am going for this year.

So, last month after a delicious family Sunday lunch prepared by my wonderful mother we all went for a walk in the woods at the back of my parents' house and collected pine cones, silver birch bark, moss and acorn tops. After giving everything a good clean and shake, I have been drying them out in front of the radiator. The pine cones that were closed when I picked them up from the woodland floor have since opened out as they dried and look wonderful.

I am thinking of making a wreath with some of the pine cones, covering some mini bird houses in the bark and using the acorn tops filled with Fimo to decorate my presents! With the remainder I think I will adorn the "Winter Woodland Candy Table" I'm planning.

Have a sweet day!
