On My Computer


 On a Friday afternoon at work -- NOTHING! My job involves supporting technology at school, hence more than one on my desk! It's always good to get to the end of the week. Even though as soon as I get home I will more than likely be sitting in front of my own laptop!!

 At home I do some paperwork (I'm loving Shoeboxed at the minute!), but mostly alot of surfing the web. Facebook is usually open in a window to chat to friends & play a few games. Since I started digi scrapping alot of time is spent finding & downloading digi scrap freebies & working on layouts. Throw in some family history research, viewing missed episodes of favourite shows, emails & photo editing (just to name a few things) -- really don't like to think about how much time I actually spend on a computer each day!!

Cider Time



Nice to relax with at the end of the week. We don't drink much, but cider is our favourite. We're always finding new ones to try. There's a limited variety we can get up here so usually we get new ones when we're away. So when I saw this one in the next town I grabbed it. And boy is it good! It's quite sweet but I like it that way! Hoping they keep stocking it!

    Love it! And I must admit, my desk is even messier than yours.

Camping

Image
Over the Easter weekend we go camping (most years anyway). We go out to P's cousins property & camp in the bush. This was the first time for SJ & we weren't sure she'd like it. See the smile on her face? It was there for most of the time we were there! She loved it. Early on she asked where the sink & bath were (the toilet had to be hurriedly put together when she needed to go!) She ran around most of the weekend with no shoes, playing in the dirt. We had to soak her feet on the last morning. It looked like she had a huge splinter in her foot - but it was just a cut that was full of dirt. The only bandaids we had wouldn't stick (I'd already proved that after I'd burnt my hand the day before), so she got her foot bandaged - she then ran around with 1 gumboot & 1 sneaker until I took her home. E & M love it too. The biggest attraction is the quadrunner. Fortunately they aren't big enough to ride them by themselves. SJ sits up front with who

School Holiday Stitching

Image
This is the first school holidays in a while where we haven't had the whole 2 weeks filled with stuff to do! Yes we are away, but we are staying with family, my husband is working (he's working in Sydney for 6 weeks) and for the rest of us there's not much on the agenda. So there has been plenty of time for me to cross stitch and my 2 girls have been doing a lot of Diamond Dotz pictures. I finished my smallest project - the Iris kit I got from the op shop. I had some time waiting for medical appointments last week so was able to get a bit done then so just kept going until it was finished  It was a pretty dodgy kit! The needle was a normal sewing needle, the dark green wasn't on the pattern and then the hoop type frame that came with it didn't fit!! Irises are my favourite flower which is why I got it in the first place. I'll just find a hoop that fits it and finish it off that way. WIPS The Pioneer Country Threads Kit  http://www.countrythrea

My First Blog Post

Image
I've had this blog set up for a while, but haven't done anything about it. I set it up with the aim of showing off some of the notebooks I make. I kept a Xanga blog for a while, but it's kinda been left to rot now. So the notebooks I make - there's an example to the left. It's basically a photo made into a notebook. The original instructions (which I'll post when I work out how to post links etc) has a photo for the front & back page. I did this to start with, but now work with recycled cereal boxes etc for the back cover. Inside are a mix of new & recycled pages - though some have all recycled or all new pages. And it's developed from there - I've made them out of cereal boxes covered with pretty paper, used the packaging from drinks, iceblocks & am making some now made from free postcards I picked up in Sydney. The photos are ones I've taken myself. So far I've used the one with the bottlebrush + a blossom one but I've got a l
