and some on this kid:

I am starting to find a bit of time left over so perhaps I will fit in other things like this:

Was great to see some familiar and new faces in craft-off  a few weeks ago when I was let out briefly. The sparks were flying off Mary’s sticks.  Life is good here but very busy - trying to squeeze is as much “balance” as possible whilst keeping the little people at the top of the heap.  you know when you go to ground, then go nuts from not doing much so you get the diary out and book it up, and then have to go to ground to recover. Just working on finding that happy medium…..  Hope all good out there xxx

no, its not a ghost, I really do exist.  What a busy time it’s been - starting school, kinder, house re-org, a few other new babies, getting to know Tex - I actually got to have a cup of tea this morning.  Tex is kicking goals and is already 4 cm taller than the other two were at the same age…so easy to lose time - especially now he’s smiling and shmoozing us…  In the middle of a carnivale costume - you know the one, skimpy glittery bikini with big feathers on my head….I wish.  Not quite - will take some pics and potentially get around to loading them on…  in the meantime, i will try to get to qv this weekend - check out their summer series here - i know the parks are packed with summer fun - let me know if you have tried qv and its shite.

Lucky us!!! He’s lovely.

A while back one of the little ladies choose some fabric and I had a go at my first japanese craft book pattern. The sleeves were a bit tricky but I’m pretty happy with the result:

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).

Just parking…

I haven’t had one for so long I forgot how to spell it. Taking ages but it was an exciting milestone to find one in my hair.

did you get yours??

How exciting being in print with such famous people as lady thornberry, ms mikes, planning queen, lizyloo and margaret fulton!!!  Go here to order yours: http://www.handmaderecipebook.com/

I have been making a few of these for gifts.  We had a mass production session recently.  They are sooo fun (as in the tiaras, not the 5 hours of sewing with kids pestering you - although 5 hours of sewing would be fun if you had someone else to manage each and every want 7 children can come up with).   It was actually a lovely day - an almost guilty pleasure hanging out for the whole day - kids and all.  You can’t do that often or with just anyone.

Follow this link to my attempt at a tutorial - Sequin Tiara - and make one for yourself - or for someone who you think would appreciate some party headwear.  Go on -  “HAVE A CRACK!!”
