Artist Trading Cards

I must confess I have become addicted to creating these little cards.  They are so much fun to make and swap.    I love the fact that you can use so many different elements when creatying this little beauties.  Here are a couple I put together for a swap earlier this year.

Have a fantastic weekend.

Its the simple things

The kids had so much fun decorating and playing with this empty fridge box over the holidays.  It really does only take an empty box, who needs toys?

I'm still kicking

Hello dear friends, I am finally on the mend and now up and about.   The girls have been driving us nuts they are not used to their mum being down and out.  Since I've been laid up nothing exciting has been happening, but I have managed to do a lot of crafting.  There are some benefits to having to leave your feet up.   The girls have a new little friend, heck, they adore him and he keeps them busy playing.

Have a great week.

Hello Again

Finally getting back on track here is little E overseeing the broken leg, making sure its comfy.  This is currently how I spend most of my days with my leg up.  The swelling won't seem to go away so I have been told to be a good girl and keep my leg up.  Still not allowed to put any pressure on it, so the crutches and wheelchair have become my best friend.  The upside to this is that I am getting a much needed rest and plenty of crafting time, which has been perfect, especially leading up to Bush Christmas.  The girls have been enjoying everymoment with Nanny and Pop, they love it here in the bush.

Thankyou everyone for your bestwishes, Looking forward to catching up with you all again very soon.

Have a great day.

Much needed break

I have been MIA for a few weeks now, and will still be for a few weeks to come.  I am currently stuck in bed with a badly broken leg and have been told to rest for 8 weeks.  So my blogging will be on hold till I am on the mend and can get up and about again.

Have a great day dear friends.

To Market To Market

We are off to Surat Fathers Day Markets this weekend.  This will be our first market for this year.  Now the weather is growing warmer we have decided to do a few markets to end off the year.

Surat is a lovely little country town about 1 hours drive away.  It is a great community, we enjoyed our visit to our last lot of markets there last year. 

I have been laid low the past couple of weeks with this nasty flew that won't go away.  But we solider on.  Emeline woke up with it this morning so I hope she doesn't get it as bad as what I have had it.  It has certainly drained all my energy.

I have also been busy making my felt decorations, here are some of the latest.

Have a great week.

Neglected

I am so sorry dear friends for being absent for nearly 2 weeks, we are a little overwhelmed with everything that is going on at the moment, I'm afraid I don't even know where to start, I feel like I am just treading water, getting things done but not really moving forward.   August, September and October are probably our busiest months on the property along with schooling etc...  It doesn't leave much time.

The girls and I spent the last few days in Charleville for the School of Airs Sports Cluster Muster.  The girls had so much fun catching up with their friends and learning new sports they are exhausted but estatic.

The girls at the school disco waiting for some dinner with their bestest friends (4 blonde princesses).  They were wearing these handbands with butterflys that flash bright blue lights, very cute, but very distracting on the eyes.  They were sad to have to leave their friends and come home, luckily it is only a short time till mini school where they will see each other again.  They get to talk to each other on air, so cute.

I have been making some inchies (1"x1" square) for some swaps..  These are what I have managed so far.  I must say, these are quite addictive once you start making them and the girls like making them to.

Have a great day.
