Home & Away

Unlike previous summers, we spent most of ours at home. We usually spend the summer in a bit of a mad rush between families and friends, never really feeling like we have had a break. So with this in mind we thought we would stick around, spending our days in a balance of renovations and swimming in the river.

We headed north to visit my parents in the new year, it’s quieter and feels more like home at that time of year.  It never really feels like summer until I am swimming in the Northland waters.

And now to get back to ‘normal’ and get stuck into 2015!!

  1. Your photography is insane, Blackbird! Can you share what you shoot on, and do you do a lot of editing?

  2. Hi! I adore your blog, your photography and the things you create. I’d love to try creating my own Cinder block shelving and wondered if it was ok to ask what type of wood you’ve used for the shelves? Thank you!
    PS That puppy! So gorgeous.

    1. Thanks so much Yeshe!! I used plywood for the shelves and cut it to the right width and length! Good Luck!
