Lovely Leaves Wall Hanging Tutorial



I love Jenny's Tutorials - so easy to follow and lots of great ideas. The Missouri accent is not my favourite but she's a lovely lady and I can put up with it!

Party time

The long weekend for the Queen's Birthday was a time for Music (Jazz Festival in Mount Barker)  Whale watching in Victor Harbor and the Wine Festival in McLaren Vale - wine, craft, dancing, food, fun ......
Guess which one we chose?









A great way to spend a relaxing sunny Winter's day.

4 Days with the Girls!

Had a fun time looking after Sophie and Emily while Karen and Paul were away in Sydney.  The weather wasn't very kind but we still found plenty to do inside - cooking, craft and dressing up seemed to be the favourite activities.

Coped with the school run but getting up early to do lunch boxes, breakfast ad supervise homework and packing before 8.00am was not my idea of fun.  Looking forward to a lie in from Wednesday when we shall be having a short and well-earned break in Barmera on Lake Bonney
