sunday night ...


i nearly didn't blog ... i am tired and ready for bed! so this is just a quick one!


I am really excited to share this new necklace i have been working on ... its has my girls names on it! I really love it! I will be sellling them now at Enjoy Jewellery, i have bought the software for the website, however ... don't know how to use it yet (will need lessons lisa!) so will post an entry on the jewellery blog here with all the details!
I am getting closer to being creative again ... i did spend 2 hours organising my scrapbooking area ... and its feeling so nice and ready to be used! maybe tomorrow ...
we did do some more painting in Gianna's room today, and then took the boat out this afternoon for a spot of fishing ... em and i caught little babies ... to be honest, it was just so nice enjoying a beautiful afternoon with my family! I forgot to take the camera tho! duh!
I did get in my vege garden on friday too, have planted corn, beetroot, spinach, tomatoes and zuchinni ... major goal: KEEP TURKEYS OUT!
i will share photos this week!

Winter Sunshine ....

The school holidays officially finish tonight :-(

I love the change of routine the holidays bring. I know its a busier type day with the kids all at home, but i love having the around and it is changing as they are getting older - you get to do different kinds of things.

On friday it was my aunty's birthday ... in the holidays i like to take the girls up to visit my grandmother who now lives here (so nice to see her more often) so on friday we saw her and also celebrated with Maryanne for her birthday. It was so nice to have a day off ... just get out of the house and not do any jobs. I feel like i've been going a hundred miles an hour for so long ... to leave it all was such a relief!

After our yummy lunch, the girls were giving their "famous" massages ... so cute! Gi is famous for her chops! ha!

We were lucky enough to spend the weekend up at Caloundra ... the weather was stunning, i love getting a good dose of sunshine -esp in winter. I am not a fan of winter (unless i am going down a snow mountian on my snowboard!) so it makes me feel alive getting the warmth of the sun!

I also love a car-less holiday ... where you can just walk around to where you want to go. We did LOTS of walking ... it was great, although Gi's little legs often tired and i ended up piggy backing her.
Close by they hire out bikes of all shapes and sizes, and the girls had been busting to hire one all weekend. When we finally got there yesterday the guy had packed up ... (you can imagine the disappointment ... soon to be over-shadowed by going out for dinner tho ... amazing how quickly things can turn around! lol!) so that led to us finding this great little restaurant right on the beach called Salt Water ... i loved the styling and the food was superb. I think its our new favourite place up the coast - so good.

Today we did get on the 4 person bike ... the girls all crammed in the back and Gary and I were on the front ... it was alot harder than it looked. And considering i had already run 10kms in the morning ... my legs were burning up! Seriously we were the talking point .. it was hilarious! so now ... i am absolutely shattered, and really need to go to sleep! (i am mad i didn't get a photo of us all on the bike ... )

I have some cool new jewellery to share too ...

blogger is REALLY slow uploading photos .. so will have to share more tomorrow ... sleeping really is the priority right now! :-)

i am here ...

hello!

i don't really know where to start ... i guess i have not had the motivation for bloggin much lately! i think its been more a lack of time thing - or maybe energy!

so i realise that it is alot easier to stay on top of bloggin ... as now i feel like i have TOO much to say! So i will do a little re-cap of the latest ...

right now ... Katya has 3 friends here for a sleepover (it seemed like a good idea at the time - all i can here is giggling and major issues because they cannot find the lollies they have lost! i am trying to block the noise out ... i am not very good at that!) we have just been to see Hannah Montana movie - which was great - I loved it, and i cried! seriously i am such a baby! lol! So it was me and the 6 girls at the movies ... i love that part of having girls! So funny ... they were all in the bathroom putting on makeup and doing their hair before going! its all down hill from here!

Its been a busy time lately ... the girls have had dancing competitions, which have been very time consuming! they love it ...

We have had end of financial year here in Australia ... which makes me feel sick! lOL! ... so i am trying to knock it over quickly so it doesn't hang over my head forever! sigh!

The jewellery has been pumping ... i have a huge order arriving tomorrow ... i love it when orders arrrive ... there are always new things in there ... yay yay yay!

The girls are on school holidays now ... loving the change of routine ...

We were out on Saturday night for my Aunt's birthday bash ... we went to a Tepenyaki bar in the city .. it was so fun. They thru fresh eggs at us and we had to catch them in cups ... so one landed on the floor, one landed on my cousin ... many missed, i am happy to say i DID catch mine! also he tossed bowls of fried rice ... which everyone did catch ... that could have been very bad!

We are also painting inside our house ... which i guess is killing my creativity! after all the sanding and painting, i just have not been creative! something on my list of things to do tomorrow ...

This is katya's room ... its still not finished yet ... but i thought i'd better show you where we are at ... Emra is back in her room, and we are working on gi's room now ... phew! Its very time consuming and quite draining ... all the stuff! oh man ... so i will do better updating the rooms this week. I really want to get back into my photography. I am planning a photo shoot for the jewellery, have rooms to finish here ... and i am feeling more inspired to blog again! (i promise!) :-)

the winner is ...

melanie brewin .... yay for you.
