I HAVE MOVED

I CAN NOW BE FOUND AT www.creativeniss.blogspot.com

a few new pikkies


well hello!

i know i promised to update more regularly, and i know i have broken that promise, and i would like to make it up to you, just tell me how and i will!!



Master Dozer has started Hight School...yee haa, for the first time in his schooling life...HE IS HAPPY! no more drop kick loosers who will pick on anything that moves, no more short bubblers, no more LONG drive to drop off and pick ups!!!! i am Happyyyyy too! His school is just around the corner, he has mates galore, he is doing his homework VOLINTARY (is that how you spell it) please let me know! And he is getting out of bed before me!!! and that my friends is a HUGE deal! He just LOVES it, especially metal work, they are making a bird cage...(i think this means we have to get a bird) As for football, hw is still playing but not for Wests any more, he wanted a clean start with everything, school and football, so now he is playing for another team, and first practice is next week, so i will let you know how he goes!

Miss Hiccup, IS SO CUTE, she has personality plus this little princess of mine (ours), walking everywhere, talking the leg of a running donkey, she makes us laugh daily, and did i mention she is sooooo cute!

The cheque is yes you guessed it working, working, working hard, too hard with the restaurant and now the bistro with dad too, he is very busy, god love him,

and ME, yes i still LOVE my job, and will miss it terribly when we move away from Brisbane, but hey, sometimes you have to make a big decision, bite the bullet and just do it!!!

on the scrapbooking side of things, havent been doing a lot really, which is a little disapointing/sad, i guess its a mojo thing, and i just have to find mine again, i hope it hasn't run too far!

well thats about it today, will leave you with one last word....umm nah can't think of anything!

toodles...Ax



forgot to mention we had Kirsty, Paul and the kids come to visit after xmas, it was great to see them, the kids have grown soooo much, they are such good kids, they played with Miss Hiccup for hours, it was a fleeting visit but it was nice to have a short distraction while Master dozer and the cheque were away!
AND we have some reallies from Germany over at ther moment too, Simona and Brigitta, they are hilarious, cant really understand what they say much, but we seem to have the same wharped sense of humour!!!! i know is that really possible!!!! they have done all the touristy things, Mum took them to sydney for a bit, they loved that!
they did lone pine, they are staying at the coast at the moment, learning to booogie board, and getting some rays! (not that there is much sun) darn rain! seaworld next week, and Australia Zoo on tuesday which i am looking formard too, as i have never been there before!

i and Miss Hiccup will miss them. Her new word is Gitta, which Brigitta is stoked about, and MUM is cheesed about, as she doesnt say granny yet!!! But what can you do!!

well thats it today, thanks for listening, and as Jen says...
seats forward, trays up and thanks for flying with me!!! Ax

thankyou Mater childrens

yes you read right, we spent the day at Mater childrens hospital yesterday!!! our day went like this.

get up early see the boys off to sydney, have relaxing cuppa and update and read neglected blogs, (even manged to leave a few comments), Miss Hiccup wakes at around 7.30.

we have a lovely breakfast together...just the two of us.. ran a bath for her, so now fed and washed, i decided to get ready and have a girly day shopping..
pop herdown on the bathroom floor, and start to blowdry my hair.
Miss Hiccup toddles off to her bedroom, (which can be seen from the bathroom as its right next door)
after 30 seconds she comes in screaming trying to rip off her shirt, the first thing that comes to my mind is...she has been bitten by something and its still in her shirt, i rip her shirt off, pick her up, and bang she passes out in my arms....well i can not tell you what is going through my head!
i gave her a shake and she came through, she was as pale as anything, with blue lips, and out she goes again, so i ring an ambulance straight away...... paramedic, (lovely lady) runs in within 3 mins, by this time Miss Hiccup has blacked out twice more....she checks her over for bites and too finds nothing, by this time an ambulance has shown up, and off to hospital we go...

so after heart monitors, lung breathing tests etc, etc etc (and me busting to go to the toilet, but wont leave her) the doctor comes near her, and accidently frightens her, and she blacks out again, He gives her a quick slap, smiles at me and says... your little angel has learnt to hold her breath!!!! WTF!!!! is my answer to that...how do you explain the screaming before it happened, and he says, something obviously scared her, like i did just then, and her way of dealing with this is to cry and hold her breath!!!!! little monster!!!

all is well and she hasn't done it again since!!!!, they say she may never do it again, but at least now i know what to do if she does!!!

last post for the year

well we had a wonderful xmas, quiet, but wonderful, the dooroo's and aunty S stayed with us xmas eve, and the Cheque cooked us the most scrumptious meal....to start with creamed garlic prawns on jasmine rice, (i dont know how he cooks his rice, but it is always perfect) followed by rib eye, smashed potatoes, topped with baby corn and asparagus wrapped in smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce...yummmo. dessert was meant to be induvitual puddings fruit or chocolate ....mmm choices! with brandy custard, cream and ice-cream, but we were to full and had them the next day!!!

The pinq's have a tradition of always opening one gift on xmas eve, and seeing they couldnt be with us this year we got the conference call thing happening with them on loud speaker and we opened our gifts to each other on the phone, it was heaps of fun, very funny, (and im sure 40mins later has cost a fortune!!!

we were up early xmas morning to see the cheque off to work...aaahhh the glory of being a chef and having to feed the lazy people that couldnt be bothered making there own xmas lunch!! (do it your self next year people....i want my hubby home for xmas...just once...)

we had a lovely seafood lunch (xmas was at my house this year..i have the pool) but i have to say it wasn't warm enough to swim).

Master Dozer didnt return home from his "road trip" with his father till 4.00 christmas day afternoon, so it was a dreary moring waiting for him to arrive home! (we just wanted to open our pressies), but once he was home and the cheque was home from work we were right into it!!! paper flying every where, bows, ribbon and sparkles galore!!! aaah it was great to see...and guess what, i didnt take one blasted photo!!!!! heellooo i hear you all say.... arn't you the happy snap queeen scrapbooker.. well yes i am , but a slack a$$ at the same time!! hehe..

my beautiful husband made me lobster for dinner!!!

Boxing day was spent at the dales, having xmas #2 it was lovely,
and then bright and early this morning... i mean even before the birds had a chance to wake me, (3.30am) we were up, and the cheque and Master Dozer headed off to Sydney, Miss Hiccup and I will follow in a couple of days!

So i am here a 6.15am in total silence, (except for a few crows, and a noisy cockatoo) having a cuppa, chatting away with you.... i may just stay in my jammies all day!!!

so MERRY XMAS...HAPPY NEW YEAR....3 cheers and up ya bum!!!

(god, what have i created) ...

Miss Hiccup is growing daily and in more ways than one....she is now 10.7 kgs and quite tall! she can talk the leg of an iron pot, and has a temper to rival mine anyday!!!! her favorite word at the moment is "no" not in the naughty way, she just likes to crawl around saying it!!! (no no no no no no no, non stop) she has a mop of brown curls and the bluest of blue eyes....geez, where has the time gone! she is 1 in 2 weeks!!

as i mentioned in my previous post that Dozer was in Battle of the bands, and he has just informed me that they won!!!!! yay GSS senior band! a big congrats to you all, with all the hard afterschool practice it has paid off...a well deserved win!

I have just done 6 days at the Brisbane craft and quilt fair with the Threads and More stand, and i have to say i am extremely pooped!! i had an absolute ball working and had a chat with a few friends...Katalin, Lauren, Carole, Jen and Terri it was great to see you all and am looking forward to seeing you all again in a couple of weeks at the awards night!!!

The awards night, ...... i am attending a scrapbooking awards night, it will be heaps of fun and i cant wait i have about 20 layouts in so we will see how i go!!

Little Miss Hiccup or should i say Little Miss (Prending to be) SHY! What a caracter we have created!! sheesh i just cant keep up with the different girls she is every day....
but thats another post..


well thats it today just wanted to update you with battle of the bands...


thatks for tuning in........Ax

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
...Ax

Miss Hiccup is well and truly mobile..eeeeek!! she is crawling everywhere, and pulling herself up to standing on anything that is still long enough!!! I went into her cot the other night and there she was standing holding the rails saying mummumum And the talking OMG! She has also discovered all the muscles in her face and is copying everything we do.. She does the cutes scrunch the face up look i have ever seen. She is hilarious!!! We are in fits of laughter constsntly, But let me tell you she is going to be one horror thats for sure... She already has the "attitude' and is shaking her head NO at everything!!!

Master Dozer is on holidays and hasnt been home one night yet!! He spent yesterday at golf camp and loved it, now this weekend he and a mate are of on a skate board "tour" on the sunshine coast!!! i never got to do anything like that when i was 12!!!

WELL

since my last post, so much has happened.....Miss Hiccup is talking, she is saying muma, dadad, bubub, lala, and fish...lol dont ask me why fish, but everything is fish....she has learn't that if you hit things together they make a racket, and she has also found out thet if she drops things someone will pick them up...little rat bag. She is now on full on solids, eating what we eat, she loves vanilla wafer biscuits and grated cheese and apple...yummo...

Master Dozer had his school fete on the weekend andalthough the oval looked more like a lagoon the fete went ahead and it was good, the kids performances went really well......and as for his rock band...well thats a whole post onto itself....he is still upset by it so wont go there just yet....stay tuned!

The cheque....well he is the cheque...same ole same ole...work work work....golf golf golf....nothing changes there..at least he is over his nasty cold and smiling again!!!! Mind you getting a little narky in the footy tipping, but hey you cant win every week!

As for me, nothing changes there either. Still scrapping, still working....still mumming....
