xmas has come early in our house...

yes due to the fact that they we going out of stock fast so we had to buy pronto...best purchase for the whole family....What I hear you say...a motorised 2 seater go cart of course!!! Got it Thursday so we spent the whole day Sunday driving it around. Bubba is super excited and we have actually been able to let him drive it himself with chicken hanging on for dear life but with the hugest smile on her face...He's some video of them...Please note that soon after this I got run over but thats another story altogether(Totally my own silly fault)
had Nanni B and Grumps come for tea tonight so we went out and showed them the delight!! Here's some shots of the 2 daredevils..


of course Nanni B had to have a ride ( note the white knuckles!!!)
Chicken with her fav...Grumpy
Someone wanted to play peekaboo
Then there was some chipmunks who turned up...

Hope your weekend was as fun as ours.

Spotty fun

my BF and I went to Spotty last Tues for the late night sale!!! What fun it was to shop at leisure and have sales to take advantage of too.

Went crazy on the material side. Was so much fun and theraputic!!! Now I have to create!!!

destressing creations part 2

The one and only hubby also created for me yesterday 2 wonderful shelves. They were inspired by this photo of Tara's

So the following photos are my version of Tara's genius...

Bubba's shelf

I found this feather ages ago and love it framed...(PS..Mum note the little toy soldier for Xmas bubba loves it)
Notice I covered the E too. Think the spots go well with the spots on the feather??



Then chicken's shelf...

have finally framed one of the divine prints from Tiel (again Mum note the rocking horse)
see the D??? repainted the aqua frame and rubbed it back alittle before the paint dried to reveal a bit of the past colour..

well that's all folks...hope you like ....thanks tara for the inspiration..

recycled gumboot

I bought these gumboots for chicken ages ago in Hervey Bay and loved the funky girly pattern. Alas a couple of months ago we misplaced one and I have finally given up the hope of finding it again....so what to do with this gorgeous boot??? Make it a pot of course!!


Put some lovely succulents in it and walah!!!! I love the way it just adds a little more permanent colour to the garden. What do you think?
