The wedding



Here's a few pics from my brother n sister inlaws wedding. Aren't they such a cute couple! My man and I are the ones closest to the bride and groom. Tamara Cadd was the photographer and she was amazing, she can be found at tamaracaddphotography.blogspot.com, and theres heaps more wedding photos on there. Other than being frozen to the bone, it was great fun. Oh, and the soup was the best ever.




Who knows whose wedding this photo is from but i love it!

ect

Alot has happened since I blogged last....we have been to queensland and back, we've had a family wedding, hens day, bridal shower, mothers day (above are my presents miss made me at kinder, which i love), I absailed off a cliff, we killed a heap of mice in the house, our bed broke in half while we were on it (now we are going hippy style with our mattress on the ground), I have become a peppermint tea drinker, found out what planking is and seen alot of people doing it, my husband has a new job as a kids pastor/minister...ect.



And I bought this book called ectetera with some birthday money, and it is awes! The writer collects anything you could think of, it is a great read and has so so many beautiful pictures.

9 for $9





This arvo my husband asked me if I wanted to go to the oppshop with him, I have never heard those words come out of his mouth. He was finding a bucks outfit for his brothers bucks party, and of coarse I would never turn down a trip to the oppshop. This is what I found. So cheap! Incase you were wondering the dark thing next to the gloves is a hat and the things in the bowl are magnets. Have a fantastic easter!

Crafty Mobile







The other week my sister and I made a crafty mobile each, inspired by dotti angel. Mine is hanging on my fan at the moment, not quite sure where I should hang it. Was going to hang it in the girls room but I just know it will get tangled in there, it already got tangled once when JT went in my room and started throwing things at it. Hmmm...

Wedding weekend

This is the 2nd piece of art work I was working on. I painted it for my cousins wedding present. Her wedding was on saturday, which was also our 6th year wedding anniversary! Their initials are even the same as ours, so the gift had our initials and date just the wrong year. The jelly beans were so good, I ate far too many and got a blue tongue. It was such a great day, she looked gorgeous and the groom didn't look to bad either.

The reception was in their backyard in a marque over looking the mountains, the view is amazing. And we even got to spent the morning at the beach before going to the wedding. Below is JT and my dad, he calls him his favourite pop and didn't leave his side for the entire weekend.

Art

A blank canvas is so exciting, the possibilities are never ending!



Iv'e been spending all my spare time doing patchwork the last few months, so this week i got the paint brushes out and it was bliss. This is one of the 2 pieces I'm working on at the moment. Yes my studio is always messy, I try to keep it clean but it doesn't usually last more than a day. I haven't worked out how to be creative while being clean at the same time.

4yr old photography




The other day Miss grabbed the camera and because I didn't tell her off like I normally would, she thought she'd go nuts. When she came back inside there were 68 random photos on my camera including lots of feet and grass shots. These were my favourite ones.

There at the right time...



So heres a little story...

I got my Real Living Mag last week, and I was very excited for it's arrival as I am every month. Anyway the exact same vintage retro canisters I have were in the mag which was pretty cool and I realised i was missing the biggest canister out of the set. The red flour one. A couple of days later i was wondering around savers (secondhand superstore) and sitting down on the bottom shelf all by it's self was the red flour canister!! Can you believe it, the exact one I was missing from the set I bought a couple of years ago, I wonder if it really was the original one to my set, maybe they got parted for some reason and have now found each other again. The family is back together.
