Tigers and Bears Oh My

Craft at school today - once again I am exhausted but I bought home this Tiger with me for tea. I wonder what is on the menu hopefully not me!!
Now I am itching to get stitching on this gorgeous layer cake which arrived here 2 weeks ago. Sherbet Pips- I have what looks like an easy pattern in mind and I am hoping this weekend to make some big process. I f only the weekend would arrive (a couple of working days to go!!). I just hope it warms up the teensiest bit because it is soooooo cold and wet here today I just want to go to bed and sleep - perhaps I am part bear Oh my!

What does everybody else do to stay motivated and warm. I am thinking if I could motivate myself to sew on some binding, the handstitching would keep me warm.

Cheers

Lots Happening

This is the lovely picture I had painted for me as my Mother's Day present from Miss B. It came along with a little pair of socks wrapped up like a cupcake. A new coffee mug and a big chocolate chip cookie. It was a lovely day lunch cooked by my brother at the restaurant he works at, breakfast in bed with the whole family. Our household is madly in preparation for our school's annual Shed Men Go Bush Camp. This is a weekend where the dad's take the children on a rough it camp and they do lots of fun activities. It is run and organised by our Shed Men Dads. Who get together once a month for a meat only BBQ night. I am looking forward to a big weekend of crafting and Doctor Who and blissful peace and quiet. I hope to have some good blog posts coming soon

Cheers

Sunday Science Experiments

Hey its Mother's Day so what do you do - help the kiddo who desperately wants his Bronze Boomerang. So a quick explanation - In cubs you can achieve a Bronze Boomerang by doing 10 small blocks of activiteis 7 compulsory and 3 of your choice. Sir Tp lovess badges and he wants lots of them - he got his Joey Scout Challenge which was the big hard badge to get at Joeys -he is wearing it on his Cub uniform but if he gets his Bronze Boomerang then he has to take off the Joey one and work towards getting a complete set Bronze, Silver, Gold Boomerang and the fourth one is the highest award in Cub Scouts The Grey Wolf award. If you get this one you get your name on a fancy wooden plaque at the Hall -there are only 2 cubs names on it ever -Sir TP wants his name there. So today we did science experiments. Here are our seeds on cotton wool and observation book, we have also managed to show how to remove Oxygen from air and prove it exists!! We will be drawing what happens to our seed every day (hope they grow!!) Leave a comment if you need me to prove the oxygen thing

Running - HELPP

Just ran first day on my treadmill - 2.7 km in 20 minutes - someone call a paramedic I wish they'd stop playing the drums in my head. I can't even type straight - first draft was hilarious

Scrapbook Surprise or When Bloggers Block takes you by Surprise

I got trapped at school this morning making turtles with New New receptions , Receptions and Year Ones. Hard Work let me tell you it was a lot of cutting out. When I finally got home I couldn't get in the driveway because there was a delivery fan, dropping off this huge parcel. But I wasn't expecting anything mmmm. Inside a huge Pizza box and a pink fluffy parcel - How cool.

Inside a massive array of Scrapbooking surprises. I have only had a quick look and can't wait to spend some time organising fondling and dreaming.

And why did I get this lovely package. Well way back in January during the flood auctions, I put a bid on a similar package, and with going on holiday etc, I made a donation and told the organiser it was done before bidding was finalised knowing I might not win but we wanted to make a donation and it was better for us to do it before we went away. The organiser of the auction decided to send me a parcel anyway which was soooo kind. Now life gets busy for mummy bloggers and business owners, and I never saw that package so I thought it might have taken a walk off my verandah or at the post office and I certainly was not going to hound the auction organiser who didnt need to feel guilty about me not receiving it (I just hoped she wouldnt think I was rude for not blogging about it!!)

Anyway this is my package so huge and I cannot express my thanks enough to the lovely Tamar from Tarisota and A Collection of Thoughts here For this wonderful package. It will take me quite some time to unpack it and does mean I really need some help to organise my craft supplies they are taking over the house aagh.

It also gave me something to Blog about as I suddenly found myself speechless for the second day in a row.

Cheers

A May finish and a Good start to Christmas

Two cheerful Santa's from Natalie Ross' Christmas Book- Get Red Red Ready for Christmas (and I am !) - I have made these as gifts for the Children and I have been determined that they would be finished somewhat sooner then previous years. It has become a little tradition to open a present from Mummy on Christmas Eve -these presents are handmade by Mummy and usually the stitching is still wet and the wrapping paper uncreased. Not this year !! The winds are changing in the house of Lavender Green and the gifts are finished and just need to be hidden. Please don't spoil the surprise.
Cheers

Getting to Know You - Blythe to Blythe

Gwen and Angel had a little tea Party out on the lawn. Angel got out her china and the girls chatted about their hobbies. Angel showed Gwen her sketchbook and her dog, Gwen showed off her new halter neck and skirt.

The girls enjoyed a shady spot and took in one of the last fine days of Autumn.

Cheers
