Chicken's birthday gift

Big thanks to the special aunty who bought chicken this funky outfit. Here's a couple of modelling shots LOL!!

Am in love with the tights!

I'm back!!!

Has been so hard getting back to this blogging thing after such a long break. have been super busy thus the lack of posts!! Be prepared for major catch up posts over the next few days. Hope you enjoy...

Rain Rain go away!!!

am very sick of rain ...not much to blog about except maybe chickens hair style today....WoooHooo


And the boredom inside lead to the finding of one of my old tapes!!! Boo Hoo!! Upside was that it kept them occupied for about an hour!!



has anyone else got cabin fever???

Wet weekend fun

Had a busy but fun weekend. Mum flew back for the weekend so that she could see friends and my nephew! So Friday night we had some fun with Deck.
The boys..

having fun with the "waterfall of balls"


Eating the compulsory chocolate bicky...

Chicken even let me braid her hair 3 times for church

Had to take a shot of bubba's drawings (chicken's attempts are on the left hand side)...


Sunday we had some fun at the farm..



Hope you all had fun too...

I won!!!

First time ever!! Still cant' believe it . The lovely Dione at sew funky had a giveaway. Check out the stash I am getting here.

Feel like all my christmases are coming at once...what's next??

Nature armbands

Was surfing the other day and came across the idea of putting tape wrongside up around the kids arms and go for a nature walk with them and stick your finds (whether they be flowers or leaves) on the band. loved the idea. Sorry I can't remember where i saw it please let me know if it was your blog so that I can give you credit. Anywho genius idea..kids loved it
Here are their bands



I had to join in too so here is my band

Must say though that chicken didn't get very involved so would recommend it for 3 and up but chicken did enjoy the walk and picking up sticks so it was all good.

photo fun

have been playing around with my camera and taking shots using macro etc..Just thought that I'd share a few
this is my favorite


these are actually the first blooms from our bulb planting here I love the refraction(think thats the word) thru the drips

bikes are back

Kids have had these bikes put away cause chicken couldn't ride properly and battery problems. Decided to get them down the other day!!


Can't get them off them and they live in the kitchen under my feet going around and around!!! At least they enjoy them! Chicken has mastered the steering in a day!! very impressive

Flowers...where are they??

Had to do church flowers the other day and was really scratching for flowers. Found these flowers/seed thingys that look pretty but had to be wired to the bluey to stay up. anywho what do you think??


I love the colours but is mainly leaves from cordylines!!! Even managed to fit in a bit of foxtail flaxstuff!!

Wall hanger

Have been wanting to do something like this at our front door but cant so I thought why not try it in the kids room. They needed somewhere for their dressing gowns so I created...

Braided at last

Chicken has the most fly away hair on the planet I swear! And to make matters worse it never looks done even if I have done it. Not that she is very keen on getting her hair done anyway.but my persistance prevailed albeit for one day. She actually let me braid it the other day!! and left it in all day...maybe there is hope yet. Tell me someone else has this problem???

Playdough Fun

Pulled the playdough out again and bubba was determined to make a polar bear so I let him go for it...

Can't you just see how proud he is of his creation "the polar bear"

Chicken isn't as advanced naturally but she enjoyed herself just the same

OP shop finds

Man did I have some fun(being kidless and all) goin thru the taree op shops. Scored some fab stuff
Soft toys for $1 or less each

Stack of materials

Also got a heap of retro clothes for the bro and some lovely check pants for myself. Then I got to go to Spotlight!!! Very dangerous place for a person like myself to go but I managed to control myself and only got these fabric mostly on sale...

Lastly Mum and I went shopping for a sewing machine for myself!! Got one!! very exciting but will have to wait for another day for a post on it...
