All the things

Most people are out stocking up on toilet paper and food, I'm out getting sewing supplies. Thanks to @bernadettebanner for her inspiration. I love watching her videos about historical garments and the way she talks so I'm here with some old sheets, curtains etc preparing to try make.... Something. In between bits of work and other commitments. Let's see how far I get. #StayHome #StaySafe #SewAtHome #LittleByLittle #Fabric #SewingProjects #HowDoIDoThis #ItsBeenAWhile #SlowTheSpread #Isolation #DoingItRight https://www.instagram.com/p/B-JBUOvpgKB/?igshid=i09ggsvexa54

Posting this picture again as I missed yesterday's posting of #ARealNiceDay and wanted to participate. Thanks @jenthinksharder for deciding to continue with this idea despite the crazy times. Yesterday was A real nice day because I ate shrimps and remembered how much I love them.. (John doesn't eat them at all so I often won't think to even buy stuff if he doesn't like it cos I think of things we can do together). I think it's an important time to spend a bit of time making each day special or taking some time to care for ourselves. #SelfCare #Whole30 #HealthyEating #MeTime #MeParty #TableForOne #ARealNiceDay #21March #KickinRadProductions #PriorityMoi https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Aic6HpilZ/?igshid=g6csqwqjnylk

Hello, my name is Doug Judy "the Pontiac Bandit" and I like running around like a psycho, playing with my new toys and snuggling my furless mama inconveniently while she's trying to sleep. Fortunately I'm adorable so I can get away with it. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7HHEvmJCl8/?igshid=b2yi1iagyb3j

Walks in the city. To be fair, this was last week sometime. When it wasn't raining. I just liked the light and positioning. (at Auckland CBD) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0os9vhp6IR/?igshid=14uidm9tkv3qz

I examined the roots of this tree as I passed by and it reminded me of my family tree. My roots are my parents, grandparents and ancestors... The trunk is a strong and sturdy foundation thanks to them. Thanks to all their hard work and dedication. Thanks to the time they spent cultivating our family and instilling values and beliefs. Encouraging us to be the best that we can. Creating a lasting legacy which shows in the branches that are myself, my brother and cousin's. We are all flourishing in our own areas of life thanks to them. Even in the passing of Grandma, her impact will carry on. Her passions and her life have positively impacted all of us. Thanks Grandma for who are, and everything you have given us! Love you! Rest well with God. Peace, joy and love eternal are yours. I'm glad your pain is gone. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0HgSYMp9En/?igshid=yjucb9dktz14

Took this last night on the way to my very first ballet class. Today, my body aches in new ways.... I enjoyed the class very much and am definitely thinking about going back again. Was fun! A twenty year dream fulfilled! #dreamsdocometrue https://www.instagram.com/p/BzL4vMspED6/?igshid=veqcnmtw81qj

Felt like baking yesterday so I made a banana cake with chocolate chips and lemon chocolate icing. It was easier than muffins or biscuits. Sometimes you just gotta take a time out when things are stressing you out and you can't deal with anything anymore! #delicious #gf #df #GetInMyBelly #NomNomNom #TimeOut #WheresMyPeaceAt https://www.instagram.com/p/BylcrHEJBBY/?igshid=1eqr7qfxuco87

It was so peaceful in the gardens this past weekend. I really enjoyed the #womenofcourage2019 conference. Also, hanging out with my cousin was so much fun. Lots of laughs and I'm so glad I went. Much growth, healing and change. #healing #encouraged #inspired (at Hamilton Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx_lTcMp9tx/?igshid=1u9q7a4nh5hef

Taking some time to reflect on all that's happened here at #womenofcourage2019 the past couple of days. I've been impacted and encouraged and blessed. Soaking in all the words I've heard in a beautiful place. #peaceful #HeIsFaithful #beloved (at Hamilton Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx39lqFJVrf/?igshid=unbvggm32vxx

Stopped in Huntly on the way to the Women of Courage conference in Hamilton today. It was so pretty and peaceful. I was tempted to stop longer. #womenofcourage2019 (at Huntly, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxzGMn-pwNL/?igshid=1627mqctl6cp2

I remember when I was young and hanging out at my cousin's farm. My uncle built a kind of fort in the haybales and we could crawl through into a kind of wider space and hang out there. It was a little bit scary how the sound changed, but it was also fun. #memories #childhood #cousins #farm #summerchristmas #suchfun https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxtm0M9JeH4/?igshid=qfp4go0f538p
