Want Rain ?

Every time we have planned to go for a bush walk to a gorgeous mountain near us it rains!. So if you want rain, I will plan to go bush walking :) I am thinking positive thoughts that it will stop raining in about ten minutes, the sun will come out and it will all dry out till Tuesday morning :) Then it can rain. Alas, this does not look likely. Instead I will go shopping, bummer.

We have school holidays at the moment and we were going to take the kids to the great barrier reef, but then we decided we want to go to the U.S so we are saving our money for that. So we have planned something for each day of the holidays. We have gone to the museum and the science centre, hmmm won't be doing the science centre again,

Funny shots at the science centre :)

 then the beach

 - it even clouded over for us then!,

animal show,

Bearded dragon

Python

Squirrel glider

Sugar glider

Barking owl and it really does bark like a dog :)

Shopping with their allowance and bowling. We went to a helicopter show that was a bit of a fizzer but still cool to see the helicopters.

So going for a bushwalk tomorrow is about the only day we can do it. You watch, it won't rain for the rest of the week :). Some farmer really needs this rain and I am whining :)

I found a fantastic looking vintage shop the other day and so I am really looking forward to going back and having a look at the gorgeous goodies.

I have done the painting on the Leaf.... not sure what to call it, maybe something with Mosaic in it.....

Okay, so I went and made dinner in between, scrumptious enchiladas and potato bake mmmm and we were discussing cosplay and dressing up and I said that if I was hot I would be wonder woman and my son says " but mum wonder woman is skinny!" hahahahahahahahaha he just kept on playing on his computer :) soooooo funny :)

Found a good author that I am enjoying, Hester Browne and have found some fun shows on Hulu. Rehab Addict is fun, it would be great to be able to use all sorts of tools and be gorgeous and skinny as well as do up houses to look amazing :) that is what I will be when I grow up.
Tired, had sick kids and have been up all sorts of hours and times looking after them. Sleep.

Felicity Again

I finished another Felicity art quilt and it is now up on Etsy  waiting for someone to buy her so she can feel loved :). I am having so much fun doing these and it is nice and quick getting them out. I still want to put together a huge quilt with triangles all over and full of soft reds, pinks, greens and whites but the thought of how long I will spend on this quilt and time away from making more Felicity dreams stops me :) cloning would be handy wouldn't it?? I would make about three of me, one to clean and cook, one to make big quilts and the other to be a perfect mother. Bliss.

I got my paints, so quick and they are divine!! Have a look at these gorgeous colours! And the gloss and shine to these paints are amazing! It doesn't come through the camera, you need to see them in person to see how yummy they are :) I will be spending all day tomorrow experimenting with these gorgeous paints.

Bright greens, gorgeous yellow and a copper colour mmmmmmm

Red!

This black is actually called gold black and even though the photo doesn't show it too wel, there is gold flecked through this black paint!!! suuuuper coooool

You can see the sparkle to this paint, weirdly the photo has shown this as blue even though it is a gorgeous purple.... really need those photography lessons :)

The name of this gorgeous paints/inks...

I actually did ramp it up on the exercise front this week and wohooooo I can see results already!! I know I am slimmer and I feel great that I did something I said I would do! :) it hurt real bad riding the bike but it was worth it :) will do another ramped up exercise week again and will have that great body by my birthday :)
Just read another lovely Maeve Binchy book. They are great reads and so relaxing, need more of that :).
