More Cupcake Goodness!!!

Man oh man this is slightly addictive!!

I lovin' these so much I've made a dozen already! These are going to be great for a little person's pretend play......a tea party perhaps, a pretend bakery or even a picnic.
I've got a bit of an idea brewing for these stinkin' cute cupcakes.......stay tuned if you think you'd like some for your special little person.

Yum yum!

One down....

....and one to go!! Yay for me I finally finished this 100% wool blanket I've been working on for Megan. The worst part of it all was stitching in all the ends and joining all 100 squares.

To finish it off I did 3 rows of dc around the outside and for some funny reason it wants to curl up...maybe after I give it a bath in some wool wash it will flatten out. It's really heavy and great to snuggle into, and the final measurement turned out to be 150cm x 150cm. Now I have to finish Ryan's off......I've only got about another 50 squares to go.....wooohoooo!!!

Hope you are all having a great time through the school holidays.....even though it's a tad cold!!! My kids don't seem to feel it as much as I do, even as I sit here typing this post they are outside in the wind and rain doing something......maybe finding some more wood to build a fire with, as I said great entertainment and a great way to get your paddock cleaned up!!!

OK gotta go thanks for calling in.

I love mushrooms and when I saw one of these stools on Melissa's blog a few months ago I wanted one. As luck would have it my sister only lived a short distance from the shop and even better knew they lady who owned the shop where Melissa bought hers so I asked her to check them out.........I really wanted it for Megan's room, I had to keep it a surprise for her birthday so even though I ordered it a while back it only arrived this week.
The cute little felt mushrooms next to the stool I made from a pattern I found on Melissa's blog also........thanks Melissa for all your creative inspiration!!!!

As I was saying my baby girl had a birthday this week......the big Seven.
Wasn't she over the moon when she opened a gift containing one of these........

I have never seen her brother be so nice to her...... ever!!!! Now he's counting the days down to his birthday hoping that he gets one also.

Speaking of big brother's her is Ryan at the Rugby a bit over a week ago ( in need of a hair cut I know ), he loves this game and he and his team mates are getting better each week it so good to watch.

Unfortunately at this game one of the boys in the under 13's broke his leg and the Ambulance had to be called........guess who was standing over the poor boy the whole time the Ambulance Officers were treating him ??? Yes she is one big sticky-beak, and she came and told us all that it was OK the boy wasn't dead, he just broke his neck!!!!
It took another 20 minutes to explain that they only put a neck brace on as a precaution, as they do with most accidents!!!

OK, I'm going now as we are about to light a big fire outside and make a damper in our camp oven over the hot coals.....fun fun fun!!!

It's Eisteddfod time again.

I have been trying really hard to get caught up with things around the house so I can sink my teeth into some serious scrapbooking.......I've got some new goodies on the way can't wait to use them.

But first of all I have to get a few other projects finished, Eisteddfod starts on Friday and it looks like I'm the "Prop Person" for grade 1.....fun fun fun!

I turned this.......

Into this..........
And once it was painted it turned into a huge predator which lived on my dining table for 3 days.It's so amazing what you can do with an old discarded cardboard box! The kids think it's awesome.......and I gotta say I think it's pretty good shark costume also!! OK I've got to go and work on some more props.....bye for now.

Got creative today

Cute isn't it ? If it looks really familiar it probably is as I totally lifted it......Tara Scobie got an honourable mention in this years Scrapbooking Memories Masters for her calendar, a little owl just like this was part of her entry.

Here it is a little closer........ I think it took me around 3 hours to make....heaps of stitching, beading, stuffing and presto and new little friend in our house.

Here is one of those catch up things.........can you guess what it might be ?
I have noticed myself squinting when on the computer, watching TV and when reading.......so I could no longer put it off, I had to get my eyes checked. My eyes aren't that bad and I don't need to wear them all the time but I am so sick of squinting and getting a few too many headaches......the change is amazing!

OK that's all from me today....call back soon.
