yes im still alive!

sorry for not paying you all much attention, between darling Miss Hiccup, the scrap awards and extra hours at work, i havent really had a lot of time, and i know every post i say this will change, but hey i will admit i am a slack a##. (excuse the language) .


i wnt to start off today by saying happy birthday Lyn-Maree x x x x x
i hope it ws a good one, because the night before it sure was!!!!! I have a new hobby, or should i say hobbies! yes i know you are thinking, but what about scrapbooking well i may soon have a little rest from that we will see within the next two months!! so i suppose ypu would like to know what my new hobbies are.......................................................well i have started making sock monsters or MOX as my brother Mr Pinq has named them, the are soo cute and so much fun to make, and my other new addiction/hobby is felting....it is so cool! i did a course last week with the wonderful Raewyn Penrose who was in Australia for a fleeting visit and i felted my little heart out, i made a sample and a wall hanging (the cheque is rolling his eyes. ANOTHER HOBBY!) and i just love the fact that you start with a hank of unspun wool and just create with different yarns, organza, satin, silk threads etc and it turns out wonderful! the girls, made clothing, rugs, wall hangings, cushions, scarves, bags, hats the results were all wonderful..

Well miss Hiccup is well and truly mobile, she can be by your feet then 2 seconds later when you look down she has dissapeared and is all the way down the hall... and for those of you that know my house that is a looooong way! she doesnt sit for any more than 30 seconds, and is yabba yabba yabba all day long! She said Brayden the day before yesterday as clear as anything, we all just looked at each other dumbfounded and asked did she just say that!!! and she now asks for things and does the actions to twinkle twinkle...she is so cute..

Master Dozer, missed his football presentation the other day, ooohhh you say, but it was for good reason, he went off to Toowomba for his first ever live concert...yes you guessed it he went to see powderfinger and silverchair... and loved it!!!
He has his battle of the bands on this weekend, all the schools from brizzy competing to find the BEST of Brisbane... we will see how they go, mind you they are very tallented, they do this amazing orchestral piece where his TUBA has a solo, it is called LIGHTENING, and the first time i heard the orchestra play it, i was speechless, the noise just runs straight through you, it is suppose to be the timeline of a storm, and it is fantastic, i unfortunately i have to work, but Pa is taking his and is going to video so all is well!

The cheque has been for a quick week in sydney to visit his family, he had a good time and i am glad he is home!!!

well that is all for now and i PROMISE i will update with in a 10 day period...PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE
