My creative space...

A week between drinks?!

Pretty embarrassing really considering how many blogs I read everyday that I am unable to keep mine relevant and up to date!

I have good intentions and then I sit down and think, hmm, well.  Do you really want to hear my sweary rant about how my car wouldn't start on Sunday morning, my husband had already gone to work and I had to drive the Manual Transit Van with three kids squeezed illegally across the front seat so my son could play his last game of U8 footy for the season.  I have not driven a manual vehicle in 15 years.  And I hate weekend kiddie sport.

Do you really want to hear how much money I have spent this week on school and kinder photos - only to receive individual shots of the boys that when shown to a friend gasped in fright!  Or how you get duped at kinder into buying the special frame with the special poster type montage of kinder photos cause you know they produce it in such an obscure shape you are not going to find that frame size anywhere.  Then they charge you $50 for said frame that you remember only cost $30 last year.


Lucky this one was pretty cute.  The dimples just about kill me!

I have been slowly plugging away at Isaac's Mario blanket but need to order more wool before I can really go much further.  Until I find some money for that (the small amount that might be left over after the exhorbitant photo expenditure!) I have been trying to teach myself some other crafty endeavours.

I picked up the cutest little cross stitch sets from Big W the other day and have been teaching myself/remembering how to do it.


I have strong memories of sitting at my aunts house one summer when I was only young while she showed me what to do.  It has all come flooding back and it's pretty straight forward.  I do find I must pop on my glasses and sit in a well lit spot or those teeny holes might send me a bit bonkers!

School Photo Success

When I was in primary school, I totally loved school photo day. I had (please excuse me while I rave about myself!!!) the most lovely, long milk blonde hair and on school photo day we would all recieve brand new little combs with which we had to tidy ourselves up with!









I got more vain every year with that hair of mine.... until year 8ish when it turned the mousy brown I currently live with and try to dye back to blonde every chance I get!

Oscar bought home his handsome prints today and I think they are great (not biased at all... much). How could you not love that cheesy, dimpled grin?!




I mostly love that for about $30 you get this fantastic book filled with photos of various sizes and colour washes, book marks, gift tags, wallet shots etc to hand out to all those family and friends that, I am sure, are desperate for pics of my boy to put all over their fridge!

And then of course, there is that awfully entertaining game of laughing at other people's children who have ended up with their eyes closed in the class photo!
(just in case you didn't know - I am closet bitch!)
