House to myself, lovely rain outside, what’s a girl to do? Curl up on the couch and get reading…. new format, lots of goodness…

Wow, it’s over.  Yep, I did a market. I was skeptical but it totally exceeded my expectations.  I had fun, thanks to Threadden, all the lovely visitors, known and new.  And of course BIG Thanks if you bought something.  Fabo. Thanks to my Market Mentor for her furniture and Kimmy for her most excellent and appreciated rack (i know, another rack joke - i still find it funny).

We recently took the kids for a mini holiday to one of my favourite places within sensible driving range.  I LOVE the river.  As soon as I get up there I feel calm.

We squeezed in quite a lot, and I even read a book. First stop was the races:

We had a lovely (although slightly slanty) picnic:

And the girls got some practice in (I used to love doing this with my dad - such a brilliant memory - for me anyway - it probably wasn’t quite as much fun for him until I’d had enough practice……):

And then there was the Golden Cow, the pedicure and massage,  a wicked kids playground, golf for the bloke, the very little cooking, the pool, the very yummy dinner and the just going slow for a few days…..  Lovely…..

I have had big plans for much blogging but alas, time is short and the sun is hot (melting my house I think).    However, have got to share what Andi found here:

Have been busy making stuff other than babies:

I’m doing a market - how funny. It will be interesting to see how it goes.  I have always admired anyone who gets out there and makes the effort but Lara’s post a feww months ago got me thinking.  I figured, this is the local one and its now or never.  So come on down to check out my rack……. filled with boys and girls dress ups and everyday wear made from recycled, remnant and reclaimed materials.  Or just come and say “Hi” -  (there is a fancy flyer but I’m too technically challenged to sort it out):
