A Disaster…& A Giveaway!!

marley&lockyerhome

I know it’s only Thursday, but…far out…it’s been a challenging week to say the week.

There was an upside…some much needed rain and straight away, I felt the need to cocoon and while we had a public holiday here on Wednesday…and the boys were playing, I sat in bed while the rain bounced off the French doors and done some work on a photo shoot for an upcoming magazine.

I did get to do some baking and made these dark chocolate puffs with vanilla bean ice cream

They were a huge hit…but that’s were the good stuff ended….

First up, my Murchison Hume cleaning products arrived with one of the bottles being damaged in the post and leaked through the whole order…the other bottles were saved luckily.

Then today, I came into the studio to find this – a big cast iron screen I have in here had fallen down and collected one of the big drying racks that the green clay goes on while it waits to go into the kiln…the screen pulled it over….and a whole weeks worth of work was shattered in pieces over the studio.

Gutted is an understatement.

But as we like to say here…everything happens for a reason…not sure why, but hey – let’s move on…
