Here's a few of the things that have been keeping me busy over the last little while...
I've been transplanting succulents into little pots. Although the use of 'transplanting' is pretty loose, I pretty much broke some off the plants in the garden and stuck them in some soil in the pots. So far so good!

I helped out at a chick's conference at church, I ran a jewelry making thingamajoby. It went off! There were hardly any supplies left by the end of the second day, it was great. I bought a stack of charms off ebay, made fabric flowers using
this tute although I cheated and used the sewing machine, ripped up strips of fabric and had all sorts of hairbands, bobby pins, embroidery thread, beads and other stuff for the girls to get their creativeness flowing on.
I've made some little kimono shoes for a precious little bundle that arrived in Amsterdam just over a week ago.
I baked a lemon curd and raspberry cream vanilla birthday cake for a very special Geelong friend.
I've started to paint a hand-me-down cupboard (with help of course).
I've made an owl for a birthday party, and wrapped it in customised wrapping paper because there wasn't any other kind at home.
And I've written and illustrated (although not in that order) a few hilarious stories with my awesome husband.
I love making, and any kind is good with me. Painting, drawing, sewing, gardening, cooking and so on and so forth!
As we don't have lush long locks or spiffy lighting the hair and the photo's weren't fabulous...however one very chuffed school girl went off this morning saying that she looked like Princess Leah and really she rocked it!
I had Joy and Snips giving their opinions and offering their advice. They are good offsiders and never very far from this animal loving Princess Leah!
Kenzi's amazing dress has been done for a while now and we haven't been able to get 1 photo with her in it. People gather around and admire it all the time. One day there will be a photo with my model...but today we just wanted to say thank you so much. Thank you Liz for spoiling Kenzi and to all the W's for the interest you take in our family.
These photos are from Monday morning. Very cold here now with the wnite stuff looking like it will be hanging around.
Our backyard...mum and dad you can see Mt Iron in back left hand corner...it has been covered in snow the last few days! You might not like to walk up there at the moment!!
Just a light sprinkling in the backyard! Enough though for me to still get excited about!!
