One of those weeks

Some weeks all I feel like doing is sitting around doing nothing. This was one of those weeks. Aided by the fact that my sister inlaw dropped around season 1 and 2 of True Blood, and I dont know if its cause I really like it or I just feel a deep need to figure out who the killer was, and what the buggery Sam was, I just kept watching (in between crashing blocks, crashing cars and reading the dog book Kook loves).

Though really, I think it was just the freezing arse cold that did it. I love winter, or actually I love the thought of winter. 

Hot soup, warm quilts, good books and a trashy movie or 2. But in reality, winter seeps into my bones, and gnaws at my soul.

But now I have had my week of sitting and well, pouting.  Im off the couch, I have a layout waiting for the finishing touches, and school holidays to enjoy. 

Bring it on baby!!!!!

Ps Im bookless, what are you all reading these days. I missed my library trip this week.

Slice of Sunday

Todays (or yesterdays) Slice if Sunday is brought to you, courtesy of the RockGod!

Thanks everyone that came out yesterday!

Ps - This weeks Slice could also be titled - The Other Women. Sometimes when he sitting there all quiet, I just know he is trying to figure out, who he would save first in a fire...................

PPs The Rockgod serenaded his mother for her birthday. I really do have the sweetest husband in the world ( even if I have to save myself  if the house burns down!!).

pretty, pretty, shiny, shiny

Met up with Miss Beth this morning for Coffee. 

The thing with coffee is, its right next door to Spotty.................

I was very well behaved at Spotty, just the above pretties for some more flowers. Kept me occupied for most of the afternoon, or at least the part of the afternoon I was able to convince to Kook to play guitar/drums/random noise with Dad, and then when that lost its shine ( or Dad got sick of Kook playing with his settings) to go and annoy his brothers ( again lots of random noise!). Having fun working out exactly which plastic material is the best and the best way to cut them etc. 

Ok enough of this pointless post ( Sorry guys, Im a football widow tonight ), Im off to play with Dollies colour combo - Grey and Yellow, my favourite combo of late.

Ps Im worried its not really the fact that the flowers look so great, but that Im addicted to melting stuff in candles. Hey where are the marshmallows?????

PPs for those scratching their head over the title - My gym partners a monkey,

and for those unfortunate to know the show - sorry if the theme song is now running through your head. 

cause Lyons my last name

My Gym partners a monkey, monkey monkey

PPPs - See why the rockgod does not let me sing in his band

In the Pink.

It was a very special ladies birthday today, My Mil. 

Happy Birthday Carmel.

So I got to get my feminine on ( living in the lands of bugs and boogers it was a nice change).

  I had this paper sitting around for ages, while not exactly my taste I knew as soon as I saw it that Carmel would love it. And cause the paper speaks for its self I went for simple. She loved it. 

It must have been the day for pink, cause I just sat down to escape the news, ( Ive had enough politics for one day) and whipped up another simple pink card for a special friend. Not sure im loving it though, so might have a change or 2 before it hits the mailbox. Seems toooo simple, but the paper is so busy it's colliding with everything I try. Hmm have to get my think on. 

Ps

 Never turn your back while your super cute helper is stacking your cube inks and eating a banana. Blue hands and banana flavoured glass. Yummo!!! 

Scrap Tuesday!

Just an ordinary Tuesday - good food, good friends and good fun!!!!

And I spent most of it, waiting waiting waiting waiting, 

Till it arrived.

 A Hotted up holden ute with a skinny 12 year old driver with a skunk strip in his hair, oh the best part — his number plate spelt chikko. 

Dude ( Sorry sometimes there are just no other words.....), I so do not think so!!!!!!!. 

But he quickly left, after he had carried in two big boxes!

My new bed.

 

Ahhhhh non brokeney bliss!!

So any way back to Tuesday.

Daph working hard.

And since my picture of Beth was very OOF here is a slightly less OOf of what she drags along EVERY week to Scrap Tuesday, now thats dedication! 

My main scrappy business today was finally trying my hand at these flowers. Only singed my fingers once!! Yay Go me!! And im dangerous crafter. If there is a way to hurt myself, I will find it. You should see me with a hot glue gun, actually stay far far far away from me with a hot glue gun!!!

I had read a few tutorials online and so just winged it, but if you want you can find a tutorial here. I learnt a lot from my first 2 and with a few slight changes cant wait to do more. I had a really really light champagne white colour but I think that colour requires more patience then I have, not to get black edges on the pale fabric. 

And just cause he is very very cute, An exhausted Kook, who feel asleep before I could wash his lil face. 

Now if you will excuse me, I am off to watch some dear friends get chased around a hospital by a gunman. And as it's a season finale its 2 hours of wonderfulness!

Ps - Hubbys band is playing at the Alroy Tavern at Plumpton on Sunday afternoon. Its a great place for the whole family, my kids love it there. We would love to see you there. 

PPs for those interested I think there is some sort of Car show on there in the morning. Maybe i should hunt down young hotted up ute guy. 

In the begining....

Me - a long long long time ago.
