When you can’t just sit

Even when I watch TV I need something to be working on. Since I was away from my metal working over Christmas, I took my sketch book to do some designs. These first few are hair combs, the type one could use for a wedding or ball.

And then I did a lot of pendants. The last one is my fave and the one I will be working on first, when my supplies arrive!

In the absence of a pool

Use a garbage bin and sprinkler instead… like so

He he he.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!

Thanks for all the lovely messages of support, it’s really touching that so many people care! So far everyone is safe and dry and I really hope it stays that way.

Actually what I really want is for everything to go back to normal. The strain of worrying for over 2 weeks, not knowing if you’ve made the right decision to protect your family, really gets to you after a while!

Look out! Run for the Hills!

The town I live in is right on the Loddon river, or Loddon lake should I say…

In all the time I’ve lived here, I have never seen the water so high that it touches the bottom of the bridges! We are apparently on high flood alert as of last night and it’s looking like there will be water over the bridges soon! Eeep!

That red line is where the bank of the river usually is!

I don’t think our house is really in danger, we are at the higher end of town so there will need to be a lot of flooding before it gets to us :)

I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who commented on my market disappointment post. You guys seem to understand markets a lot more than me! It definitely was the wrong audience I think. So I’ll research some of your awesome suggestions and see if I can find one that suits my craft!

Thanks again everyone who made me feel less of a failure!

:)

And Summer arrives… finally

Yipee! Summer has caught up finally! Even though we may be flooded out any day now, the weather has turned fine an we’re making the most of it before more rain this week.

    

Nothing better than being allowed to run around in your nappy/jocks and play with water and bubbles.

Yay for summer!

Summer time fun... Except it's not summer!

Oh well doesn't mean a special Aunt can't take you for your first ever outside paddle!





















Even if you weren't that impressed ;)
