Party photo boards

Another little hobby of mine. I find it makes people more relaxed about having their photo's taken at our parties and is a nice little keepsake for them afterwards to remind them of the good times.



This was the first one I did - it was for Lucy first party which was a circus
theme


Followed by this Elmo and Cookie monster for her best mate Cooper



Then this teddy bear one for Coopers cousin.


Then this one for L's 3rd fairy party
And lastly this little monster one for Flynn's first birthday.
Hopefully I can keep up the tradition for my kids while they still like them. I have missed one of Lucy's birthday's already because i simply run out of time. But i have kept all of mine if anyone wants to rent them. Can also make them to order to suit whatever theme you want!

Vegetable Patch


Okay let's get it out of the way. Yes I have one.... a vege patch that is. Originally I had this dream to completely feed my family from only my vegetable garden. Turns out that I have not found it as easy as I thought it would be.

But none the less we have supplemented our food supplies and are slowly learning what each crop needs etc. Luckily I find the whole process quite therapeutic. And the plants are really very pretty

We have had a small aphid problem of late but during the warmers months we do tend to have a lot of lady bugs so I'm not too concerned. PLus they are only eating the brussell sprouts so the kids and hubby aren't complaining!

Losing my blogging virginity

Yep, I have finally joined the blogging world. Suppose there was little I could do to fight it. Baking, sewing, vege patch growing, children wrangling. The only thing missing to my list was blogging and then I will almost truly be a suburban housewife right?



Who knows, this may blossom into a lovely little past time.



Loves to the future
