Time to stop and smell the roses?

Mookah man has suggested that it is time for us Mookah chicks to stop and smell the roses, having worked so many long days over the past few weeks. It is now only a week, or a few long sewing days left till Magnolia square starts and ends, and then Bower Bird begins.

We decided to take a little of Mookah mans advice. No rose smelling 'cos we both have native gardens, but we did take time out today to smell the pumpkin flowers on the way to the studio!

This particular specimen is a self seeded pumpkin plant that isn't in the vegie patch with his cousins. The pumpkin plant looks beautiful wrapped around the base of the kangaroo paws.

It looks even more beatuiful with the first morning sun shining on it. Cooper and the dogs love to sniff around it, as you can usually find a frog or two sitting amongst the leaves, but I couldn't manage to find one this morning. Sorry.

Time to stop & smell the roses.....or eucalypts!

It's been a little hectic in the Mookah studio of late, with the illnesses we've all had, orders flowing in and trying to build up some stock for all the markets we have committed ourselves to before xmas.



So yesterday we took a little time out in the middle of the day to go for a walk, and enjoy the fresh air and the sunshine on our faces.



It was nice just to take a slow stroll and take in all the beauty surrounding us.

Of course no stroll is complete without checking out the progress in the vege patch.

Cooper was intrigued by these with their super tall flower spikes (not shown).

We must all remember to stop and smell the roses.....or eucalypts.....at times, mustn't we? It's good for the soul.
