This is what the birthday painting ended up like. The dress was Jacinta's valedictory dress, made for her by her amazing mother. Her mum made a lot of her clothes, but this was an extra special one, and Jac wore it a few more times while we were at uni. It was so heavily boned she sometimes couldn't quite sit up on a couch. This dress brings back so many lovely memories of our friendship all those years ago.
This is us now. A lot more black going on. Hopefully we'll be back in gold again by the time the 50ths roll around.
And look at Jacinta's amazing blue eyes. She's just gorgeous.
On a totally different note, here's S checking out the roosting box in the new chook shed.
Here it is. All ready to go.
And here are the chooks. Patiently waiting for their check in time. One got so excited she laid an egg, which was carefully washed by young J, and then fatefully dropped, just in front of the sink. So egg number 2 will be our egg number 1. That's how he's figured it anyway. It's all very exciting.No more art or craft to report. Made chocolate cupcakes and have covered school books, but that will be all until school goes back on Wednesday. And then the year can really start!
Hi Anna! What beautiful memories with your friends. Love the chook shed - why are they so beautiful? I always get so nostalgic about them :) Your first egg story was so funny - I could just see it. Happy 2010! K
ReplyDeleteGreat painting Anna,
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh about your friend not being able to sit up properly on the couch because of the boning in the dress ... the things we go through for fashion!
I also agree that the chook shed looks great ... wish I had one of those.
