wanted to share....

Getting Started... i have found this- and just wanted to share.
i have to say i am the most clutered/disorganised person i know! i have been wanting to get this house sorted for ages! its a small house and we just have too much stuff. stuff that i had before Mark- and he me. so combine it all and stuff it into our small space- and you get an overcrowded messy house. so im hoping i can get my butt into gear and GET STARTED at the verry least!

End of the Month..... AGAIN!

i just cant beleive how fast the year is going. every time i look at the callendar- i should of flipped the page over 2 weeks ago... im clearly running on my own time.




its now the last day of October. which means tomorrow is November, which means 11 days til rememberance day, my nephews birthday, my sister in laws birthday, which means only 2 weeks later is December, which means almost Christmas, which means the end of yet another year!










scary when you think about it like that huh? our beautiful girls are 15 months already- and on Chrissy day will be exactly 17 months! 17months old seemed so far away once upon a time.... but now? now its less that 2 months away...
it feels like we have gone from this...


to this in a blink of an eye....








well i better leave this thought here for the time being. might jump on later...

i really would like to learn how to sew.

Aunty Therese (Dads sister) is a great sewer. curtains, clothes , crafts, dance costumes- you name it - she did it. in fact she is quite crafty in many areas. i always loved that about her. and i would really love to be able to do the same.
after seeing all the wonderful things Naomi had sewn too- it just me want to learn how to sew even more! (those too cute dungarees she made for Anna!)
i guess to start i could go to my MIL for help- she has a machine and im sure would be able to show me some basics. before i go getting my own machine.

id love to make some for our girls. id also love to make them new curtains for their room. ones that match with the fairy/flowers/stars/ i have started for them. will have to see how this all goes!

firsts

well this is new... i have just set this up. now for the moment im not sure.




not sure if this is going to be a "just for me" thing, or if i will start throwing my link about to everyone...


maybe i could start with a few pics? i have been slowly changing the girls room. changing it from "nursery" to "girly" ... i scored these wall stickers off ebay. so i have some on the window (sorry its a tad dark isnt it? )



some on the mirror, door and drawers...






i want to make some wall deccorations too. probably out of some sort of timber- possibly just mdf- so i was thinking of doing either some like these fairies.. or the ones that are on the girls big bed doona covers...or i might just go with flowers or something...




well i think i will just leave this first post there for today.
