Love Notes

Grow old along with me the best is yet to be.

Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly.

Sorry I’ve been quiet the past few days. I’m nearing the end of this pregnancy and feel like I’ve been hit with a truck, I’m just so, so tired. I managed to pull out my art gear today (I’m not venturing out to my studio at the moment so I’ve been storing things in my spare room) anyway, hopefully tomorrow I’ll have some photos to share of some new work/progess.

I hope you enjoyed the above photos. The lipstick one is in my ensuite. It’s been there since Valentines day. I don’t want to get rid of it just yet. I had written ’10 things I love about you’ on post it notes and scattered them amongst the house. I also did the hearts and A + C on the bathroom mirror. When my husband spotted the mirror drawing he joined in and said ‘let’s make it really authentic’ and added the 4Eva lol. It was fun to act like kids again.

Yesterday my daughter came into the lounge and said “Mummy, it says I love You Chavah on the mirror?!” Confused I asked her what she meant. It seems my husband left me my own love note, yay! I love that he tolerates the hopeless romantic in me.

Do you have any little things you do with your partner? Feel free to share them. I’m always looking for new ideas!

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself...

My name is Chavah. They say for a relationship to work you need a dreamer and a realist. I am the dreamer. My dreams are what I MAKE my reality. I am passionately curious, sometimes awkward and I have a somewhat ridiculous but infectious laugh. I live in the deep south of New Zealand, married to my realist husband. I need him, he keeps it real... like realists do. I spend my days raising four out-going children, it's as exhausting as one would imagine. Currently I live and breathe transforming my body into a powerful weapon. It's my new found love, so if you need me - find me at the gym. Actually don't, I dislike talking while I'm training. I've been described as eccentric, I quite like that. The definition of eccentric is 'deviating from the recognized or customary character, practice'; that sounds about right. I'm the crazy creative type, well actually I'm not that crazy. I know exactly what's up but I am creative. I'm an Artist that's exhibited extensively throughout NZ and sold pieces internationally but right now I'm busy raising children so instead my creative tendencies have been refocused on up-cycling furniture, redecorating my home, event planning and writing.

Stick around to read all about it.
