Having delusions of being 20 again. My daughter recieved a Hairdryer with a diffuser for her birthday so thought I’d have a play – anyone remember life before straighteners?? It was fun and way easier and faster than straightening.
Needed to make and finish something, so decided to try one of Heather Baileys super cute headbands(www.heatherbailey.typepad.com). So fast, have now made 4. Will try to get a better pic (maybe better model!).
Must be off to bed. Sue and I (and Joe) heading to Adelaide at 6.30 am tomorrow for 7 Gypsies Workshop – see the sacrifices we make to keep our skill levels at their peak, so we can share all our tips with you? Oh well, someones gotta do it!

Sue made this funky bracelet the other night using shell beads and memory wire.
Pretty funky, huh?
I feel a beading night coming on….

…that’s what little boys are made of.
This is the scene that greeted me after my shower this morning. 4 rolls of toilet paper unravelled between the kitchen, playroom, and lounge.
When I calmly asked Joe “Why?”, he replied, “I was being a dog.”
What else is there to say?
(Not the best photo, but please note the headwear!)

And we thought it had forgotten how! Boy did we get a drenching today – 9mm in 1/2 an hour – flash floods all over town, but you could barely tell an hour later.
Many happy gardeners, some happy farmers, and hopefully not too much damage done.

My lovely friend Rachel came to visit us a couple of weeks ago for some chenille – then she whipped this up! A very lucky baby will soon be the recipient.
Love it, Rach!

The Racing Season is upon us, and at this time of year, it’s all about hats. Colleen decided to give hers a new lease of life with some beads. Pretty snazzy, huh?

It was Chelseas 8th Birthday last week (I know, how could I possibly have a child that old??), and we celebrated with a cupcake themed party.
Instead of lolly bags, everybody took home a Pink Poppy Cupcake trinket box (with a surprise inside), and a very cool helium ballon.
Naturally I got a bit carried away, and decided I would use the Material Posessions cupcake book for inspiration and make napkins – I know, what was I thinking??
So, anyway only one (sorta) got finished before I realized the ridiculousness of this plan, and moved on. That said, if time had been on my side, how good would these have looked?
Of course, the cake is always the main event, and Chloe from Just Desserts gets all the credit – they were a hit!
Not only did they look gorgeous, they tasted pretty good as well!
Happy Birthday Chelsea,
Love Mum xxx

Well done, ladies!

We were very spoilt by Janome last week, with Dinner and a night at the Grand. So we glammed up (as you can see) and enjoyed ourselves immensely…we even hit a karaoke bar for a night cap. Fortunately, we managed to restrain ourselves from belting out any tunes.
Oh, and we are now up to date on the latest products and accessories!
Sue and Claudia also caught up with Toshi, Janome’s new Australian MD (very charming!)
