Our fun, yet exhausting day...

After not leaving the house yesterday due to the extreme heat outside and my need to sew today i thought i would take the girls out for some fun! We went to the shopping centre which had Strawberry Shortcake there for the school holiday activity. The girls got to give her a big cuddle! The girls, especially Caitlyn have been big fans of Strawberry Shortcake for years so they were very excited



They got to decorate a cupcake each (they were given some frosting and some lollies to decorate with)



After decorating the cupcakes and cuddling strawberry shortcake again the girls and i went and had some lunch with my sister Kez who works there! I had told them before we got to the food court no maccas then as soon as they saw aunty kez she said lets go get some maccas!!! Got to love sisters :-) It was great to see her for lunch and lovely to spend some time chatting!

We then went up to my dads and had a big swim in his pool and played for a while



And this was the end result of the day

First time at sewing!

Well, today i finally used my sewing machine, that my lovely hubby bought me for Christmas! It was another one of my ingenious ideas, i think i will start sewing! Yes it was that simple in my mind! However after sewing ALL DAY today and still not finishing my first ever sewing project (an apron) i have learnt its not that easy!!

Here are a few pics of my WIP!

This is my setup at the kitchen table, halfway through the days work


This is the pattern i am attempting to make. Notice it says its SO EASY!! Ha!


This is how the apron looks after todays effort! I need to add the pockets and also i think i will add some ric rac or some other sort of embellishment to finish it off!


Here's to more sewing and getting quicker at it!!!

My little scrapbooker...

Hannah (7), got a scrapbook kit from santa and has pretty much been asking every day since Christmas if she can sit down and scrapbook.  I finally got around to printing the photos for her from her party so that she could complete the scrapbook.  The smile on her face says it all! I think we will be doing more of this...(I know mummy certainly has been neglecting hers!!)

I might even be a rock star....

Yesterday my girl Eleisha, who is 3 years old was dressed up in Hannah's "Hannah Montana" wig and guitar with the headpiece on singing loudly and knowingly to each of the songs! Was a very cute and very typical Eleisha moment and i thought i would catch it with photos, who knows, one day she might be my very own rock star!!

Hope you get a smile out of this!

Well its been AGES since i last blogged!! I have for some reason found the interest and time to want to start blogging again, so lets see how successful i am this time around!  Maybe its just the new year, you know, all the resolutions you make and good intentions you have!  I certainly have plenty of those.

Some of my "resolutions" for this year 2009, are to make more time to do the things that i want to do (crafty mainly!), to be more organisined (two kids at school this year I'm thinking this might be a good res to stick to!!), and to eat much more healthily as a family (more so just knowing what is going into our bodies, less processed and more FRESH!).  I am sure i have more than those, but they are the ones i can think of at this late hour of the night!

Anyway i am going to leave it there for now, i am going to post a couple of photos from the past few days!

More blogging soon...(fingers crossed!)

Lollypop faces!

I love this photo. Even though they were all windblown and therefore a little (ok a lot!) hyped up a nice combination of all the sugar they were consuming and the wind it still captures my girls looking very happy! I am actually a little sad today that my two weeks of school and kinder holidays with them has now come to an end!! I really enjoy having them home, but im sure it will be great for them to get back into the rountine of school and kinder!! One day in the not too distant future i will lose all my babies to school! ARGGGHHH!!!
