Sold!!

Well I sold An Easy Way to Get Love!! So excited, here I am thinking it looks like a child's drawing :) And I sold Dream Tree too. Good timing for back to school and about another ten bills as well. I get so excited every time I sell something :) someone actually likes my stuff AND gives me money too!!:)


Finished the next Felicity in the series, it was slow going as the kids have had friends over and all I do is feed them and then clean up after them all. Fun. But they have fun and there is no arguing so give and take :).













Will have to fix that eye, :)

 So now just to bind it, I find it hard to match a binding colour. I used to just bind  it in some funky gold I had but I ran out and the fabric shop I go to get all sorts of different stuff in and not always the same. Will have to look again for something tomorrow.



Then one of my wonderful friends went back to the U.S, so sad and not fair :) Helped clean her house and then when it was empty it looked so nice and clean :) of course, so I came home and did a huge declutter and went through the kids rooms and just cleaned everything!! Now it feels better and when the kids go back to school (wohooo) next week I can relax for a few days before having to clean again. Ha ha ha funny. Dreaming. Nice.


Went shopping and there was no chocolate on special!! What??? I never buy chocolate at full price $4.80 for a block of chocolate? No way! So I have to check if there is any stashed at home or keep going back to the store waiting for a special :) This is news people!!. This is important.

My daughter wants to make her own quilt and she has designed the quilt top up and will start drawing on it tomorrow and then paint, we will then go get the backing and wadding which thankfully is on special at my local quilt shop. Said daughter said well then we should be done by the end of the week then mum once you've done your stuff! hehehe I wish I was that quick or had a long arm and it would be done that quick :)
Dinner, what a chore!! off I go...

Finished and the Next One

Well I finished 'The Easy Way To Get Love" and have just listed it on Etsy. This is the first in a series of ideas that I have for this lucky woman :).










Here's the beginning of the new one, her dress is her thoughts and feelings....



So in their hands will be their hearts that they are giving to each other and on her dress she is already dreaming of a white picket fence and a house and the ring... it is a bit hard to spot, can you see it?

Where as he is not thinking of anything like Felicity, he is as free as a bird :) with not another thought on his mind. Trust me, that really does look like a bird :)









School holidays must be over right?? It's been 6 weeks already hasn't it? The kids had some friends over yesterday, in total I had eight kids here... no fighting so it was good really :) Just felt like I fed them all day. I had just finished lunch by only half an hour and my son came up to me saying" I missed afternoon tea, I want afternoon tea!!" what on earth???? it was 1:30!!! Go play with your friends!!

Today was one of those boring cleaning most of the day days. Took oldest daughter to the optometrist for the final payment and it was more than we were expecting!! Plus the contacts weren't working as well as they were supposed to and we had to buy other stuff of course. It gets me a bit down when all this money just pours out of our account. So many more things to pay for too. But I think that we are blessed to be able to pay for these contacts so our daughters eyesight can be helped.


The whole family hopped on the Wii the other day and it had been a while since I do the Zuzanna workouts and my husband who eats whatever he wants and does no exercise AT ALL, at all, and you know what??? He lost 4lbs whatever that is in kilo's from his last weight ages ago!!! Me well I have lost 4 kilos in 5 months!!! seriously. It is soooooo frustrating!!. But again with the positive thoughts :) I am healthy and strong... doesn't help when I want to eat chips and not gain weight.


I read a book a few months ago that I told you about called The Monuments Men about WW2 and the art theft recovery by these 7 men and I just discovered today that they have made a movie of this incredible book and it has George Clooney and Matt Damon in it!!! Holy heck wohoooo :) the book was amazing and now I can see it in film with a couple of hotties :).
Off to relax and read a good book hopefully :) wish I was eating chips too but here's for a flatter tummy :).
