When happiness comes from spending time ‘alone together’, that comfortable fit where you don’t need to try, or talk, you can just be. Water color paint, pen, ink, charcoal, graphite pencil and collage.
This is a famous historical building located in the famous Matilda Bay in Perth, Western Australia.
Imaging how the famous Matilda Bay Boatshed would be like say 50 years ago.
A little Cow i made out of wine corks, toothpicks, pipecleaner & the little wiggly eyes, a birthday present for my sister, :O)))). i used the oil painting program in photostudio for a different look
The boatshed, situated in Matilda Bay, is thought to have been originally constructed in the early 1930s. Panoramic view.
Probally one of the most photograhed boat house in WA / 3 stitch panorama

The Whitehead Place, Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA These cabins are tucked away on a road I missed on my first visit to Cades Cove. I did not know the story and was amazed at how small the cabin in the back was, the door was so short my mother of 5’7” towered above it and had to duck to go inside. The story of Matilda Shields is a sad one with a happy ending. The tiny cabin is a testament of how folks in the cove cared for one another in times of trouble. Matilda and her small son were abandoned by her husband, the baby’s father. Matilda’s brothers worked very quickly to buid this cabin for her protection and shelter. This is the most rugged cabin remaining in the Cove, as it was built very quickly of rough-hewn logs with a felling axe and rubble used to contruct the chimney. In time Matilda was re-married the widower Henry Whitehead who in 1898, out of love and sympathy built her one of the nicest log homes in Cades Cove. Matilda and Henry Whitehead’s new Smokies home had a brick chimney, unheard of in Cades Cove at the time. In Cades Cove if you wanted bricks you had to make them yourself. The process was accomplished by finding clay soil, and digging and then filling a hole with water. The surrounding clay soil was then scrapped and stirred with a hoe until thick and smooth. Then the wet clay was put into molds where the bricks were dried. Afterwards the bricks were fired to make them durable. Later Henry stacked his bricks with mortar into one of the first chimneys in Cades Cove. / The rest of their Cades Cove cabin was made of square-sawed logs that were finely finished inside to be smooth and attractive. In fact the cabin was so nice that it looked very much like the frame homes which were soon to become fashionable when the first sawmills were constructed in Cades Cove. The couple’s masterpiece was especially warm according to Cades Cove standards as square log construction was naturally well insulated by approximately four inches thick walls and practically no space between the logs. The Henry and Matilda Whitehead place is the only square-sawed log home to remain in Cades Cove as well as the only one left in the entire Great Smoky Mountain National Park. It is considered a transition house from the early Cades Cove cabins to the modern frame homes that later were popular in Cades Cove.

Now in the Sonate. Calendar and available as cards and prints / Matilda was born and lived on the remote Island of North Rona. Her mother died in childbirth. Her father was a poor and humble man, and he worked hard to support his beautiful daughter. But one night he had a dream about a nectarine tree which grew in Greenland. He became obsessed with the idea of farming these trees on his island, and was sure that in this way his fortune would be made. One morning Matilda woke to find her father gone – on the kitchen table was a note which told her what she had feared….he had gone to Greenland to seek the fruit tree of fortune from his dreams. She was but 14 years old, living three hours by foot from the nearest coastal village. It is said that she spent every waking hour playing the piano, hoping that her father would return…..but he was never seen again. She died, presumably of starvation, on a date unknown. It is said that she plays the piano still in the remote cottage on this remote Isle.

My niece Matilda Slade is Jeremy’s youngest daughter. Matilda is two years old. She is such a confident, outgoing, direct and honest little character. She would come in the morning to see me… ‘Good Morning Aunty Annie…’ I bathed her and pushed her on her swing and she was not afraid to tell her mother and I when she felt I had taken too many photos of her lol. Her honesty and forthright approach was endearing – I get the feeling that one will always know where they stand with her. On the first day meeting her …we were singing songs from sound of music and Matilda (naked) and Lily were jumping all over me…a memory etched forever in my mind. 3 May 2009
Her eyes say it all…Matildas blue eyes were aware and knowing and she is only two years old. My niece Matilda Slade 3 May 2009
