a good read

sometimes...just sometimes i find a book that i just can not put down. I have found since uni i have been really take it or leave it about reading...because i had to do so much at uni! having bought this book maybe about 12 months ago after seeing it reviewed in Frankie, I started reading it about 2 weeks ago and finished it in a week. Easy to follow and quite an enjoyable story line it was great to read before going to bed . And the cover is really pretty too! :)

my place or yours? blog HQ

this weeks theme for my place or yours...is your blog HQ...it has recently changed for me! it was this space...which is mainly Tim's space for computing type activities...games...and a few assignments are written from time to time.

but i think it will become this space from now on...because the spare room is a little more functional now, i can actually get to my little desk AND sit at it! how novel!

this was fun...if you'd like to check out more or play along...

baking bonanza

this is pretty much my favourite toy at the moment...after the badge maker! We received it as a wedding gift and have made some yummy biccys and cakes which have been extra fluffy and good because of the even mixing that this mix master does! :) Tim has even used it!

your place or mine? Bedside table

this is what you can find on my bedside table at the moment...well bedside chair! our dining suite is sort of too big for the area that it is in...in our flat so to make it fit it's right up against the wall and the 2 extra chairs live beside our bed as bedside chairs! i have some vouchers from our wedding, a bible, a journal, badges, bobby pins..and a few other random items!

I have been searching all over and have found some really FUN crafting blogs! I mean i can sit for a few hours and look at all the pretty things people are creating! it is really inspiring, fun AND relaxing! if you want to play along with this game have a look at...meet me at mikes http://meetmeatmikes.blogspot.com

very fun!enjoy!

smiles of different sorts

these sunglasses make Tim squirm! to the point where he is embarrassed to walk down the street with me if i am wearing them!

I am captain bubble beard...

fun in Clare!

I heart birthdays

I really like birthdays! I think it is because you get presents and get to eat cake and get mail...IN THE LETTERBOX!!! i also really like it when other people have their birthday because i like joining in on their fun! Today is Tim's 26th birthday. so this post is dedicated to him! happy birthday to my beloved. We have enjoyed a lovely breakfast and walk through the city. he is now enjoying his game on play station three and that's why i am doing this! later we will catch a movie and then Tim will probably enjoy a big steak for dinner! A very happy day indeed!

new ambition!

Last night Jek and I went and saw Whip it! we have both decided to join the roller derby now! it was SO MUCH FUN!!! I haven't roller skated in many moons BUT i think it will be ok...with a bit of practice! :)

badgemaking heaven!

a couple of weeks ago my small group from church came over and we had a badge making extravaganza! we had lots of fun and made some really cool badges! I had another afternoon today and Kara bought some great papers over and we went nuts! any one want to buy any badges! i have a few hundred!

purely for procrastionation purposes...

these are some chair covers i made for our dining suite. The chairs were beautiful but a little hard for me...and had the potential to get scratched easily...so i found this material in Launceston while honeymooning. I bought it without knowing what it would be used for and then when i decided, had to order more over the Internet. this post comes to you while i procrastinate from finishing my tax. It has driven me spare this morning and I'll probably be forced to eat copious amounts of chocolate treats this afternoon to recover...

ummm

ok so blogger is having a moment of it's own and highlighting random words and underlining posts! :)

Saturday afternoon fun

Because Jek and Dave held a secret wedding we couldn't give Jek a hen's night before the party...otherwise people would have got suspicious! so Yesterday we held her a bridal shower! pass the passel, bridal bingo and plenty of cookies and shortbread to sink a battle ship! the wind was a little annoying but the rain held off and we enjoyed the warmth out in the beautiful wellington square.

Eggcellent

The other night we went shopping and bought some eggs...and when i opened the pack up to see if they were all whole...i saw THIS!!!!

I squeeled with laughter! I was reminded of these little faces tonight when i again opened the packet to start baking for Jek's bridal shower tomorrow, so it's a late night post as i wait for the treats to cool!

other wedding fun!

For our wedding in July I got to do some sewing and badge making! i showed you the badges but didn't post any photos of the sewing! I even got someone else to help me with the bunting because i knew she'd do a great job! it was lots of fun putting the yummy truffles in the little bags! We even got to sample one or two!

food and snow in tasmania

we enjoyed seeing snow in Tasmania, for me it was the first time i had EVER seen snow in the wild...you know not at a ice skating rink or mount Theberton! :)
and we enjoyed lots of different lovely foods at the many cafes that were in and around Hobart. truly wonderful.

and Love and Clutter was my favorite shop from Hobart, it had lots of pretty hand made things in it. Babies clothes, mobiles, hair clips badges brooches, scarves. I wanted to take everything home...and Sez you would have loved it too!

tasmanian treasures

tim and i went to tasmania for our honeymoon and we loved it! we visited hobart, launceston and cradle mountain.
hobart has lots of treasures. the cadbury factory, salamanca markets, love and clutter, lovely cafes! and lots of them. we found some wonderful place to sip hot chocolate and watch people walk by.
Launceston was a very rainy but we enjoyed a low key weekend and triple j's hottest 100 of all time.
cradle mountain had a day spa...no more needs to be said!

i'll continue this later...computer is being a bit silly! :)
