Monday Craft

It seems like forever since I've sat down and actually followed through on a crafting project. It's not that the ideas aren't there, but the lure of mindless internet browsing, coupled with staring at the TV of an evening have me not doing a great deal in the creative department. Yet again, looking at other people's wonderful work seems to be my new craft. So today I fixed that.

Guess what these are for?


 Monster baby houses.


 To be more precise, Monster beds. Teensy tiny sized.


These little ones are from the book Microcrafts.
I've made three already, the possibilities are endless, such a quick, simple craft that is really very cute. And cheap. I like cheap (not looking cheap, but sometimes its inevitable...).
These are for the kid and her pals for Christmas.

I've also made these and am waiting for everyone to hurry up and finish the last jar of cherries that's lurking in the fridge so I can add another. Plastic farmyard animals glued to lids and spray painted. Sheer genius.



And lastly, a work in progress. Rock Candy. Day one.

The Anniversary

  It was just one night away from all the busy-ness that is our life, but boy was it a treat! We tootled down the road to Kyneton and stayed in the loveliest apartment, right there in Piper Street. Should you ever find yourself in that neck of the woods I highly recommend staying at Apartment 61A, a self contained, two bedroom apartment, gorgeously decorated and very well equipped.


and although I took hardly any photos, I did manage to snap a few of our digs.





The perfect night away, charming company, and a delicious meal at the nearby Royal George. Thoroughly spoilt I was!

Growing Up

Like weeds I tell ya. 


Colourful weeds though...


and just a bit nuts.


Then in the blink of an eye, you find yourself with a teenager.


Luck I still have one baby about to keep me company.



November is our busy month. Two birthdays AND our wedding anniversary.
Whoopie Pies have been made (and eaten)


Party bags made 


and giggled over


And I heard a rumour that Christmas is only a few weeks away....

Thanks to my talented gal-pal for those gorgeous kid and dog shots, if only I had half her talent.
