HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!!

On the 19th February 1969 a wonderful man was blessed with Identical twin girls on his birthday...For the first time in many years, we have spent our birthdays together as a family.
My twin 'Kylie' and I organised a photo (that I can't find now)and an etched keyring as a gift. I also took much delight in making a little bag for my twin....she had admired mine so a gift choice was easy.

 

This little bag is also reversable

As bit hard to see

My nephew has a very cool camera. This next picture is from his camera

It was a wonderful experience, and look forward to many more years.

Thankyou

PROMOTIONAL ORDER FOR GORGUS JOSH....!!!

Yehaa, I'm back...been a busy little bee. I have been organising a promotional order...And the ARMATREE HOTEL have taken me up on my idea.
I was very excited when the publicans of the Armatree Hotel accepted my offer to design some promotional Key Fobs to sell in the hotel. I have used the standard Key Fob supplies and added the Hotel logo to labels. The white label may also be used on other items.

Two labels were used, targeting male and female customers with different ribbon.

Clipstrips are use to display

I couldn't resist these little kitchen ideas (a gift) to help keep up with their yummy Pizza...!

This place is  AWESOME....The Armatree Hotel is located between Gilgandra and Gulargambone. My first `visit to the Armatree hotel was spent munching on The Yummiest Home Made Pizza, and without any question, the coldest refreshments this side of the Blue Mountains...They also provide accommodation at this truly unique hotel...The hotel was rebuilt in 1929. Over the last few years, the publicans Ash and Lib Walker have done a beautiful job restoring the interior. A new kitchen was built in 2009, now providing the Best Pizza's. Functions are a regular event, and fundraising family days always popular.

If you are ever passing through this way...it's well worth the visit. It really is a beautiful piece of history.

Thank you to Ash and Lib Walker for supporting

DRINK BOTTLE BUDDY

I luv this idea, when I saw this drink bottle holder, I had to make it. I found it here...pink chalk studio. I didn't follow the patten to the T, but I'm happy with how it turned out. Don't look too close at the stitching...didn't have my glasses on...hehe

This pattern is for a 500ml bottle but I have managed to put a 1litre bottle in the holder. I'd say I'll be punching out a few of these.
Cheers Nic
P.S just email me if you would like to know the different way that I assembled the holder

HUSBANDS, DOGS, CAT...PLUS LOST PICTURES

My Husband has been on holidays for 3 weeks. I have a project I'v been wanting to start for a while. Hublet was ever so helpful by making a start....can you tell what it is....will show the finished product at the end of this blog....

LOST PICTURES

In my previous blog, I sent a picture via my phone....I forgot that I had taken some earlier....So now Thimby can get a better look....Cheers Luv!

DOGS and CATS
Our sweet dog Ginny

Ginny is waiting on tests for breast cancer....Hang in old girl..... :(
CATS

I give up on this pair....I found some rrrreally cheap cat beds and thought they would be great for the end of the marital bed....for cleanliness reasons mainly....so lets see how that went!

 

No more treats for them....I guess the saying is true about 'Dogs having masters and Cats have servants'

Hublet's finished project

                                                         I luv old stuff soooo much!

                                                 I must change the back splash....yuk

   Thankyou wondeful hublet..........I can buy the 80mtr rolls from town for only $2.53 per roll....BARGAIN
Cheers Nic

                                                                                                                                                                  

WHO REMEMBERS THIS OLDIE ?

My Girl has gone away and needed a bag....I picked up this bag from the Army Disposal Shop and thought that it wouldn't be "Cool 4 School".....Well she luuuuved it, even before I started to Fluff it up....So what do you think ?

I suggested that she buy some souvenir badges to put on her bag...rather then junk...See what it looks like when she gets home!!!
Cheers Nic

KNITTED FOOTBALL COVER MAYBE

O.M.G.....One of JBoy Kidlet's friends dropped around.....Friday is friends day. The friend was so excited for JBoy Kidlet to see what was in his backpack....I could see out the window and thought, he must have a fish....Errrr.
Hublet and myself thought that the footy would do the rounds of the front yard for a while as the boys normally do......
                            WHAT THA

JBoy Kidlet was taught how to knit by his Nan.....His friend went home and asked his Nan to teach him as well.....Its great for their motor skills, and its so nice to see the lads sitting quietly on the porch knitting away. JBoy is now fascinated with my crochet....however, being left handed would leave him needing the mirror.  Cheers Nic                                       

BRAIN EMISPHERE WAR...MY LEFT HAND WINS AGAIN

I really really enjoy crocheting, but I'm left handed and go cross eyed trying to read some patterns...But wait, this gets me out of my rut.....

A mirror...works great.

So now that I have won the fight with my 'Richard Crainium' (Brain), I can take on the crochet world.

I was at the Dr surgery the other day and found a luvly pattern in a book and ACCIDENTALLY took a loan of the book....(only to find out the my M.I.L dropped them off)....so I feel better about the accidental loan now.

Anyway, this kept me busy & ears smoking

I put a clip on the back so it can be warn in the hair or on a shirt....can't wait to make more.
Cheers Nic

STILL ALIVE & MOVING....& SHOW 'n' TELL

Yuk, Luv, Yuk, Luv. What a mixture of emotions....I'm so in luv with our new/old home, but moving totally SUCKS.
I have much better things on the drawing board, but have to wait :( 
Here are some pic's of a project I did a few weeks back. Do you remember 'Yumyum in a Bubble' that  I posted a while ago....Well she now has a friend. The owner - Tasma, is one my GKkidlets bestie buddies....she has a black belt in Karate, so I couldn't resist Melly & Me new Ninja pattern. Of cause it's name is 'Tasma in a bubble'.....I luv making these cute softies.

A bit of a bo-bo on the badge, but covered it up alright.

Now for something else that keeps me amused....Tasma the cat has been doing a fabulous job with her mouse duties....Although there is know need for the stand over tactics.

When she is finished playing with the mice....she eats half....so I find little 'mouse pants' around the place....how GROSS. It's the price you pay for good help these day's.

OOops, not what I meant...Don't know how that got on the scene....anyone mind?

For those of you that luv wild life and hate cats, we have built a 4mtr x 3mtr cat run for the new/old house. I shall takes some pic's...It's a win, win outcome.
