Facination with Feet...


My big girl was invited to a PJ party on Friday night & she was most concerned about going out of the house in her slippers! It was a very funny experience for her & not the norm but alas she left the house with a bounce in her step....& arrived home full of sugar!!!!


Then this afternoon we decided to plant out the small spaces next to our newly laid driveway. The kids choice was a mandarin tree, my choice to move the existing lemonade tree that wasn't happy in it's current position & man about the house requested a lime as Corona tastes better with lime! We also transplanted two Orange Blossoms from the back to the front.


But the feet came into it when we started to get everything ready & Middle Miss thought the patch of concrete next to the driveway was set...well it wasn't & the result, her favourite sparkly sneakers were covered & Middle Miss was very embarrassed!

Friday..

I started this morning with a vision & that was that I was to do no house work & utterly NO paperwork & thus far I have nearly achieved it! Only 2 loads of washing to my credit on the domestic chores & that has been plenty enough. I have managed to finally create my world on madeit & have posted some of my new dress designs...you must pop over & take a look.









I have also had my first Mum's Business sale on Mel Quick's site Green Goat! She has some fantastic kids products, well worth a visit to her online store!

In anticipation...

Our extension began late 2009 & we're getting close to completion if only some tradesman would turn up to finish the job....the floors are to be polished tomorrow yet the plasterers are turning up very sporadically! Hopefully we'll be in within 4-5 weeks & I think thats being generous.

The entry from the front door looking through to the existing part of the house.


The office


Craft space, picture taken from the office corner (it's one big room with two seperate areas)


The bathroom which opens out onto the pool (this photo is of the shower wall & the full wall is where the WC is...all open to the world! A window is on the left hand side where my bath will run along....DID I say my bath? Good because that's what it is! ALLL MINE!)

Anzac Day



I'm a little behind the eight ball but after downloading my camera & just feeling so proud of my big girl I thought I just had to post these pictures. She marched as proud as punch with my father in law. Middle Miss wasn't too keen on marching this year & took advantage of a birds eye view on daddy's shoulders.




After a lovely service she had a nice lunch with Nanna whilst the servicemen took to the RSL for a beer & 2 up! I went home with the littlest for some much needed sleep (for her) but I'm sure she'll be marching next year.

Special times...


I love spending time with the girls, especially where they can roam free & enjoy the simple things. A visit to the local botanic gardens is such a special place for us. The girls call it the jungle as there are so many places for them to explore. Nell x
