Homelea Instagram Happenings: Loving May

I love May, it’s my favourite month and it always seems to go so quickly! The weather turns from summer to winter, the country shows happen, the winter racing carnival gets underway and did I mention it’s my birthday month as well?

These are the May Homelea happenings from Instagram so far . . .

I found the most awesome duct tape at the supermarket – goodbye boring grey duct tape! I’m looking forward to sealing up boxes with this tape.

There’s been heaps and heaps of crochet happening. I’ve made a chevron rug that’s been entered into the Chinchilla Show – I’ll get to see it on display next weekend. I’m calling it the “Downton Chevron Rug” because the colours are a bit Downton Abbey-ish and I watched the full three seasons while making it! It’s made from 100% Australian merino wool and it’s oh so very soft. It smells lovely too.

I’m lovely coral colours at present, the colour of this notebook makes my heart sing.

I tried this Goat Curd from Woodside Cheese Wrights in the Adelaide Hills and it was so good! I’m avoiding dairy products at present so it’s good to have a yummy cheesy alternative.

I think this is the most awesome vintage sugar stick holder ever!

It’s been the perfect weather for fruit toast and coffee, and this fruit toast is fantastic. It’s wheat free and organic, and comes from Yummioh at the Eagle Farm Markets in Brisbane. The huge bits of fruit and the nuts make it so good.

I must admit I’ve got a soft spot for wood panelling and leafy green plants. I’ve also got a soft spot for retro tiles and old school “cloak” signs. I found these in the members area of the Eagle Farm Racecourse in Brisbane, it was like stepping back in time.
