This week we had a whole day at the bush, we love it out here. Chillin out around the fire, it's so relxaing. The kids always love it too, and there seems to be less fighting and sooking, it must be all the space and fresh air.
Little Miss thinks she's cool when she wears my glasses.
I can finally sew again with my black thumb! I have missed it the last couple of weeks. Yes were still on the floor but it really doesn't bother us. So I put my quilt on the bed the other day to see how far I have to go, it finally covers the bed! It's been 7 months of sewing almost every day except for the past couple of weeks. It still needs another row of flowers on each edge but the finish line is in sight. I've spent so many hours stitching away, that I think if my house was burning down and I could only grab a few things, this quilt would probably be one of them.
Last night I went and helped teach an art class, we got the kids to draw an image over the top of a coloured splatter, some of the pictures had a couple of different coloured splatters which looked really cool, after helping the kids I quickly did one, so this is mine.
I found so many great things at the oppshops today, the jeans look brand new and the quilt is amazing and was only $6!! I also found a little white board in a chunky wooden frame which I am about to paint and a few things to start off my second hand Christmas present collection. (Sisters, don't worry, I won't give our side of the family oppshop presents) 
Just about every time I have the camera out one of the kids are in front of it..........at least they're cute.
On monday my husband and I went on a little getaway to the city for a night for his birthday. On the way I slammed my thumb in the car door, I am so retarded, I'm still not quite sure how I did it. I can't remember ever being in that much pain in my whole life, I've had 3 babies with no pain killers and didn't even shed a tear. But this....man the tears were flowing. Anyway other than that we had such a great time, it was so nice to spent whole days together, we wondered the city, stayed in a nice motel, had a buffet dinner at crown and went to the movies. 
Since I can ever remember I've loved beanbags, I bought my first one when I was about 12 or 13 from my paper round money. And ever since then I always thought it would be cool to make one, but I never knew how or where to get a pattern from. The other week I bought Pip Linclones latest book, Sew La Tea Do and it came with the instructions and the pattern! I made this one out of some old vintage table cloths I had in the cupboard that didn't fit our table. I was very surprised when it actually turned out the way it was suppose to, I even sewed my first zip and it worked!
