Holy Monkeys!!!
Can you believe that it is Christmas Eve already?
I have no idea where the second half of 2009 disappeared to. It seemed as though one minute it was July, and the next minute we were putting up the Christmas Tree.
Does this mean I’m getting old?
I mean, can you remember the anticipation when you were [...]
Little Miss Five finished her at Pre-School this week…
I love the inflatable Santa suit, which one of the assistants donned for the Christmas Party.’
We’ve had a fabulous Kinder year. The staff there are so dedicated, and involved with the kids. Little Miss Five adores them all.
I wanted to put an extra little something in with [...]
Ahhhh… I see you found your way to my new site.
I have moved all my blog posts, tutorials and patterns over here… and will soon be launching an online store. Take some time to look around – you can use the tool bar at the top of the page to find your way – and [...]
Today was hot… and I don’t cope well with the heat.
By the time that the kids came home from school, I was ready to find a nice quiet corner and have a quick snooze before heading out to the school picnic.
Just as I was getting myself settled, I hear Master Ten calling out from his [...]
So, here are those DIVINE earrings that I was telling you about earlier. The ones I like to wear them ALL the time.
They are my first effort at making earrings, which was surprisingly easy once you see how it is done. I have used new wire and hooks, but the beads are all recycled from [...]
I volunteered to be a Swap Angel for the Christmas Swap over at Crochet Lovers Victoria. A Swap Angel takes over when one of the participants isn’t able to follow through on the committment of sending their gift. Otherwise, someone who had sent an item, would miss out on receiving one. And that’s not nice!
Anyway, [...]
Okay… before you start thinking that we must have some weird Christmas traditions here in Australia… let me just say, that the Christmas Bat is not something you would commonly see here. In fact, I’m pretty sure he is a one-of-a-kind!
I made him for my swap partner. She received him yesterday, and got a wonderful [...]
Once again, we have had a Christmas Swap over at Crochet Lovers Victoria on Ravelry. The idea being to make a few small decorations to send to one of the other members in the group.
I’ve really enjoyed my time at Crochet Lovers Victoria (CLV). The group was started on Ravelry by Stramenda, so that local [...]
Over at the Silly String Group on Ravelry, we have been challenged to create a Japanese Wishing Pot…
Well, my first task was to find out what a JAPANESE WISHING POT is!
Actually… it pretty much exactly what it sounds like. The idea is that you write your wishes down, and pop them inside the pot. Generally [...]
I’m very, very good at losing things…
Well – maybe not losing as such – but definitely MISPLACING!
I MISPLACED my cross stitch project. You might remember I was talking about it in this post here. I was determined to get it finished before Christmas, and was working on it at every opportunity… but then one day… [...]
