That’s how I’ve been feeling lately regarding my assignments. I’m still not feeling very challenged and in turn I’m feeling less and less enthused by each menial task. I’m working on all three assignments at the same time. I work better that way. Today I made a conscious effort to turn the internet off (after [...]

Halloween Costume

11:09AM | October 30, 2008 | 4 comments

Yes, I am indeed a dork… … who has crazy eyes… … the grace of an elephant… … and weird bendy-backwards hands. It’s not quite completed yet. I made the wrist cuffs out of xmas ribbon and sewed tiny little bells on them. I then attached one end of the pink shawl to one cuff, [...]

I think I need to go to Op Shop rehab

So I’ll start with something I received as a gift. I got this lovely perfumed shimmer powder and puff from Paula. It smells so sweet and makes my skin so wonderfully soft. Perfect for all the humid weather that will be upon us soon. Thanks Paula. Now onto the Op Shop bargains. I have been [...]

Fancy Free and Gorgeous

Yesterday was a busy day yet I felt like I achieved nothing in the grand scheme of things. Ticking boxes. Crossing off lists. Phew. I had so many plans for the day, just not enough time. Dress Fabric First I needed to go to Spotlight and buy fabric. I’d been meaning to do that for [...]

PhotoBooth Mania

03:52PM | October 27, 2008 | 0 comments

I was emptying some folders on my computer and I found these gorgeous pics in my trash can. I just couldn’t delete them and had to share. It was very cool to see they love Photobooth as much as me. It’s a program on iMac that is self timed with the inbuilt camera. It’s how [...]

Nutrimetics Party

09:54AM | October 27, 2008 | 2 comments

Sunday was a big day. Playing with the girls, going to the markets, driving them to the airport, picking up stuff from the BBQ, dropping more stuff off to friends and a Nutrimetics party to boot. A 6 o’clock I was ready for bed… but more about the party. Charlotte (formally known as Charlie) invited [...]

On Sunday afternoon the girls flew out of Sydney to visit family further down south. Before that Dani and I took the girls to the Windsor Sunday Markets for a bit of food and face painting. I took the opportunity to get Dani to snap a quick picture of me and Effie (Jos was a [...]

Bruce’s BBQ Mixer

On Saturday evening we dressed up and went along to Bruce’s BBQ Mixer I helped organise. It was really good fun. Bruce was a great host and the food was fantastic. Alice made her rocking potato salad and enjoyed the afternoon sunshine. Jos was loving all the food, music and new people. I gave Danielle [...]

Saturdays at the Park

02:58PM | October 25, 2008 | 3 comments

The little lady bug found me at the park. No kidding. Such a camera whore this one. We all munched out on chips and gravy… …and lazed about in the sun. Good times!

Ducks go "Quack Quack"

We have some very special visitors staying with us at the moment. Danielle, Effie and Josceline. All very sudden and all very awesome. I love impromptu visits. We spend a lazy Saturday at the duck park and it was wonderful. How many Black Swans are there Effie?… “TWO”… well done Effie. Me and Ef throwing [...]

This is Me. Not Dee. As it says on my name badge.This is my new $2 bag, Love it. The little old ladies made a whole heap of hair gems for the up coming Melbourne Cup. I picked this pretty comb up for $2. I love it I think it looks fabulous. I also scored [...]

Wedding Albums

01:36PM | October 22, 2008 | 8 comments

It’s only been 19 months since we got married and I’ve finally completed our wedding albums. Originally I planned on making one of those photobooks that you can create online and have printed and I did so but with each computer crash I lost all my work. In the end I decided to put them [...]

Far away places…

Soldiers Point NSW, this is where my parents live, right alongside their Yacht and we’re lucky enough to visit in November. Mum said the water is warming up and I can’t wait to go to the beach and dig my toes into the sand. Steve and I will be walking hand in hand along this [...]

Status Update: Danielle is…

02:11PM | October 21, 2008 | 7 comments

… feeling cranky and uninspired. She doesn’t even know what she can blog about. Nothing interesting has been happening to her so far this week. There are more roses blooming in her front yard, but she’s already blogged about that. There was a small hail storm last night but she forgot to take photos and [...]

Bowl-A-Rama

Bowling turned into a double date, Me & Hubby, Steve & Kristi. It was a fun night out.Here’s Steve going for a strike. My hubby thrashed us all and won both games. Steve going for a Spare, or as the little girls playing beside us called it a “Square”… too cute. I think this photo [...]

Eye Exam

12:35PM | October 18, 2008 | 6 comments

I went and had my eyes examined this afternoon. Perfect 20/20, despite staring at my Mac most of the day, everyday. Steve made me book the appointment as I haven’t been tested since high school… so about 6 years. Once that was ticked off my list of things to do, Steve and I did a [...]

Friday’s, Accountants and Peaches

Phew… today isn’t even over yet, just a brief pause before even more mayhem commences. I worked last night and again today. I’m glad I don’t have to work this weekend. It’s a nice feeling to know I can drink as much as I like without worrying about suffering a hangover at work. I’ve worked [...]

Lamp Revamp Idea

05:01PM | October 15, 2008 | 2 comments

This is my lamp. The lamp that doesn’t go with anything else we own. I was looking at Notebook Magazine (Real Living Magazine is #1) and found this revamp idea online. I didn’t want to just spray paint it and slap a new shade on. The gilding idea seems a bit more “me”. I still [...]

Enjoy the Sunshine

It’s this pic dreamy. My neighbours must think I’m nuts. This is my new dress from work and it’s called “Watercolour Orchids” and isn’t it divine. It’s strapless with a neck tie and it’s oh-so feminine. I feel like a spring time goddess in it. I also bought a very sweet red and white polka [...]

Rock* Party

I can’t think of a blog title for once…

These are my new work shoes. I needed a pair of flats that I could wear without socks so I could wear all the pretty dresses and skirts that are coming in at the moment. These canvas ones from Payless were the best ones I could find. I worked 6 hours today, didn’t have a [...]

ALL ACCESS PASS

07:25PM | October 12, 2008 | 3 comments

I know I originally planned on making the Bjork Swan Dress, but shit happens and I never got around to it. My heart obviously wasn’t in it. Then, whilst fabric painting “SECURITY” onto Steve’s black T’shirt I was suddenly overcome by my own brilliance. At every social gathering I always end up taking photos. Why [...]

Re-Loved

Today was a very busy/lovely/hectic day. I helped sort out some minor mishaps with the rosters at work. I helped Luke move some of his stuff to his and Gerard’s new house in Richmond (I’m soooo excited for them) then I went to the Op Shop to grab a bowl I saw last week (but [...]

Thank You

Just had to take a pic of me, my smile and my flowers. They came at just the right time, celebrated something that made me proud and reminded me how much I’m loved.
