Please excuse me

My Hubby has taken the kids to swim and stay at the lake tonight.

So I’m on my own…

Currently to be found swanning around the house in my undies (thanks to the putrid muggy weather) and contemplating how far I will have to walk tomorrow if I eat this:

See you tomorrow, 10kg heavier and hopefully fully dressed!

He he, I love my Husband!

More jewellery trees off to market

I’m hoping they will be well received. Instead of people walking past thinking ‘Urgh! What are those things?!’, I’d like them to think ‘Oooo… they’re interesting!’.

They still need cleaning up and sealing but I’m getting really quick at making them now. I can usually get a whole one built and start on the next one in a night. That don’t include the cleaning… the only annoying part of making them.

I’m taking them to a big market we have in the North of Victoria called the Murrabit Market. Murrabit is only a tiny town but it becomes completely packed with people on the first Saturday of every month when the market is on. And summer is the best time to go when there are more stall holders, so if you are a keen market goer it is worth the trip on the first Saturday in December! I’ll see you there!

In other news Our Husband and Daddy will now be a permanent fixture in our house!

He has finished his training and is posted near home. Which means, after 9 months, I am no longer a single Mum most of the time! Oh the relief! Aus can ask Daddy millions of questions instead of Mummy. And Noah can be firmly attached to Daddy’s leg instead of Mummy’s!

In short, Mummy can swan around in relative freedom… sometimes. But sometimes is better than ‘notimes’ :)   

 

My Weeceman

Just a few quick photos of our big day out yesterday…

Saluting the Chief Commissioner, Getting his badge, Getting his award

Marching out

The graduation dinner.

We’re totally exhausted after a whirlwind couple of days but filled with excitement for the future! Thanks so much for all the lovely comments on the last post, they are much appreciated :)

Also a huge Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister for yesterday as well! xx

 

The BIG day!

We’re there! We made it, I made it and he made it.

   

I have basically been a single parent for 6 months and now I am so looking forward to living as a family again

Single parents out there, I salute you. It’s tough, like pull chunks of your hair out tough. I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive family though and it almost makes me cry to think of all the help I’ve received from loved ones along the way. Quite seriously I know I would never have made it without them.

After all that, tomorrow the love of my life will march out to collect his badge and become a Police Officer. Not only that, he will also collect an award and be presented with a watch engraved with his service number. So to say I am proud is a huge understatement. I think I’m going to bawl my eyes out and burst with pure glee at the same time.

Jem,

Congratulations my Darling! I love you so much and I’m unbelievably proud of your achievements. The boys will be so excited to see Daddy march out in uniform to be a ‘weeceman’. Well done babe, you’re amazing!

Love, George xx

Wish us luck!

 

I'm going to be super busy this week! My long lost Hubby is home all this week on holidays! So I'm taking full advantage and turning the crafting/jewellery making/woodworking dials up to HIGH! Some of the projects on my horizon...

Masses of jewellery
My Brother's 21st b'day gift
My sister's 23rd b'day gift
My longed-for wall of white frames
Finishing my pretty white table
Finding some mis-matched dining chairs to paint white

Oh the joy of having time!

I'll post the projects as I finish them so look out this week! And as they say on TV, 'here's one I prepared earlier'...

This is a really simple and light copper ring with sterling thin shank and sterling lines hugging the curves





Yep, that's me with my little pink camera in the reflection. It was just impossible to get a shot of it that didn't include the photographer!

More rings 'n things coming up tomorrow...
