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.

HARVEST FLU PRESCIPTION

Its that dam crazy time of year!!! Harvest flu has hit all our hard working farmers, their wife's & kids.

If you see your hubby for less then 1 hour in 24, your kids are out of sorts, you feel like your going through sleep deprivation like you have a newborn....

Your being ripped apart by your arms....Hubby is arriving home at midnight with red itching legs from wheat stubble allergy and wants nursing....You suddenly notice all the things you find spunky about him because you haven't seen each other for as long as your drained brain permits you to remember...but your both  so sleepy to care for, well, need I say more. 

Your worried about the cleaning and the wheat that is accumulating all over the place with big invitations for rascally little mice...

I think if you are experiencing all of the above and more, then you need my Prescription for Harvest Flue!!

• When hubby gets home, or when you happen to see him, give him a big hug and tell him how wonderful he is...Your both working very hard for the same cause....and if you have the energy, just sit with each other for 5 minutes and say hi, your both on this journy together and it just a season.

 

• I can't stand the mess that arrives this time of year, but its not for long, and its not going anywhere...so to keep your sanity, this is what I do....A quick tidy through, once a day, will allow you to see the small mountain. So as long as the basics are clean, STUFF THE REST. So many arguments can occur from silly little things.

• Last but not least, make time to sit and enjoy the kids, dog, cat, chock, budgie, whatever.....make time with a friend....see the big picture with a little mole hill....And Laugh

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JJKIDLET & SOMETHING FUNNY FOR HUBBY!!!

Something  that had my Hubby in a belly laugh....can you see what this picture is ???

Hubby dumps the fire place ash in some old bog holes and as you can see, the girls luv it....I know they bath in dirt but who would of thought ash was so much fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JJKIDLET!

I really truly made a cake (shock). Well I can't just walk into my favorite cake shop BRENDO'S in Narromine anymore....So nothing flash, but my boy thought it was great!

He had a wonderful day turning Nine....wow, scary.

'OOOOOOOPS'

Wood cutting day again meaning more strange happenings!

How did it know to grow just in that spot!!

Puts a new meaning on tree hugging

So I have been really enjoying taking all these picture on my OLD camera, that I'm just starting to learn how to use.....thanks to a few friends that are very clever...I am liking this picture clicking thing!
We came across the yellow paper daisy. JBoy Kidlet went crazy when he found a field in full bloom of white ones.....while I was hunting for smaller subjects...

And I think that's the last wood cut for the season....It is my most liked part of the winter....I luv the smells, things to see and explore with the kidlets, the only exercise I get all year, and most important is the time we have fun as a family......However GKgirl kidlet went off to her first camp adventure for the week.....I wonder which of my limbs I'll lose first....LOL

"NATURES GIFT"

A quick post today....I want to share a family moment. A few weeks ago, we needed fire wood, but I won't let hubby go it alone, (as my mum had a chain sew go into her arm ). We all headed off, kidlets in toe, and although it wasn't spring yet, the day was beautiful.

I just luv when our kidlets learn something new know matter how small....it's something about the look on their face's....that expression of wonder that brigthens  my heart. A tiny daisy the size of the top of your thumb, but it was the fact that they were paper that had them gobsmacked...picking like crazy...I'm certain we have all done it, but its such fun introducing the kidlets to something new!

They are so pretty don't you think......the bonus is every time I walk past them, I'm reminded of that luvly family time spent together!

'CRAZY BUT TRUE' Farm Fun.

O.M.G, it's a crazy world I live in...I have all intentions on blogging some craft but who doesn't mind a giggle?

was a bit of a secret agent photo...good spy technique!

One morning last week I heard some carry on outside...when I checked, one of our strange chooks was getting very comfortable in the very plush
dogs' bed !!!!! And to my surprise when I checked later........!

Well the job was done. Then poor dog Ginny was found sitting beside her bed given the intruder!
The next day, same time, was met with much commotion when strange chook headed for her new found nesting bed. Much to her dislike Ginny had beaten her to the mark....the squarking when on for half an hour. Think I'd rather the kidlets fighting.....The omelet for dinner was great!

NOT ALONE ALL DAY WHEN I HAVE TASMA!

This little story shows how living a few hours from town doesn't have to be lonely!
Introducing 'TASMA', A beautiful Seal Point Old Style Siamese. I got her from a breeder as a retired breeding queen....She was desexed first so as to protect the breed. I grow up with this breed  and just luv what they bring to the family. At some stage we are thinking of getting a male kitten as all the dogs we get go to snakes. Lyn at Rosemarie Cattery is such a luvly lady who is very dedicated in her field and to her beautiful cats. She has sent her babies all over the world, with much effort spent in protecting this old breed of Siamese.
Now as I said my days are not lonely.....I may have also discovered why I am so disorganized...lets see now!!

 

What a luvly spot to sun my beautiful coat !

I do have a weight problem and have unsuccessfully been on catty craig!

Now see,  I don't see any reason for doing any filing today!

Now we can both relax!

So now she wants to do the folding...not if I snooze here!

So there you have it , Dogs have Masters and Cats have Servants.

Not to mention, you have cats and then you have Siamese......Any breed or moggy is beautiful....Pets are so great as they never judge....they don't tell you in the morning that you look like Marge Simpson....And always luv you unconditional!

Cheers Nic

MR PRICKLES

'The great escape has happened' ......Well kind of. I have had an Ecidna living under our very low floor boards for a week or so. ( How do I know its a Mr....I don't, the name sounds good ). A Lovely scrapping sound comes with the pleasure of hosting this guest.

After hanging out washing & returning to the back door, I was surprised with what I saw next.... 

So the rescue began...with the removal of bricks & some help of a crowbar, Mr Prickles was close to freedom!

Now the trick to picking them up when you don't have leather gloves is to roll them on their back with the crowbar & have a wheel barrow close by !!!!!!! Leaver them from the back feet gently and quickly gently pick him up from the hind legs and place in borrow.....now they do enjoy a little srcatcth on there feet.....but be careful, some poop.

Now you just find a nice clump of trees not to far away as if Mr is a Mrs she may have some Puggles (Babies) close by...they hide them in hollow logs or leaf matter.....Sounds like very good parenting to me!

Now just tip Prickles out.....yeah......FREEDOM.....Must have been very noisy under our house...!
