Busy Busy

We are off to Melbourne today to see our sister Jen who has just found out she is pregnant. An exciting time as we have two new babies on the way both due around a similiar time. We have lots planned for Tees 2 Knees whilst in Melbourne but high on my list of priorities is some time to indulge in all the precious handmade bits and pieces that are on offer. I love it as Queensland just doesn't seem to offer the same variety at this stage. Well until our return.........

Fossicking











I had a day to myself today after my gorgeous mother offered to take my little boy off my hands so I could have some "me time". The only problem was I didn't know what the best way would be spend the time afterall I didn't want to waste it on something frivolous and non productive. After deliberating and having a few thoughts, I decided to trapse around the local area and do some fossicking to see what I could find. It doens't take much to excite me but during my time I found an old book with these gorgeous illustrations in. I couldn't resist them as they conjured up inspirational thoughts in my head and made me want to do something creative. So I have made a promise to myself that after getting back from Melbourne next week, I will dedicate some real time to letting my creativity take me somewhere away from the rush of daily life. I cannot wait!!!!

The Sun is Shining







Well the rain has finally cleared which is lovely. My son and I were able to get out the house over the weekend and take our very boisterous chocolate labrador for a much needed walk. After staying in for most of last week and the a good part of the weekend I was fiddling around with some bits and pieces and made myself a couple of brooches to brighten my day. Inspired by the little things around me I rumaged through all my beads and fabrics to create two little pieces. I did realise however that I seriously need to clean up my collection of fabrics and bits and pieces but who knows when I will find the time to do that. Somehow I just know where everything is.

Its Raining Its Pouring

It is raining like you wouldn't believe here on the so called sunny Sunshine Coast. Perfect weather for just being inside with a hot chocolate on the couch. So whilst my little on is sleeping and the washing machinge is washing away, I will take the opportunity to catch up on blogging (not that I know what I am doing) and other computer things for Tees 2 Knees. It has been a bit hectic of late. We celebrated my little boys 1st birthday on the weekend which was heaps of fun - not that he really had any idea as to what all the fuss whas about. I attach a couple of pictures including one of the birthday cake which I spent ages on the night before not without mishap. Thankfully the icing was thick enough to cover the pot holes. It was devoured with gusto despite the green icing so that was reassuring.

Anyone out There

I am still trying to get the hand of this blogging business and just envy all the people out there who have such fantastic blogs happening. Thursday here and my little boy is sleeping at the moment - he has such a big mornig sleep when he goes down do I can usually get plenty done although this morning I have become totally frustrated by how slow my internet has been so things haven't moved as quickly as I would have liked them to. Drives me up the wall. My husband has just texted as he is getting on a flight home from Melbourne after a couple of days of snowboarding so I will be hitting the highway soon to go and pick him up. Anyway I thought I better try to keep on top of this blogging so that I too can have a site that I love to blog on. I had to go and get some fruit and veg this morning and I had such a lovely comment from a young girl about my tees that I make and sell on-line. She had seen an article on me in our local paper which was just so great. It is always hard starting out in business so it was a great opportunity to do some marketing too. Well until next time..... Chow!!!!
