This weekends events

What a weekend. The funeral of the dead bikie was on Saturday, so many bikes drove past. They even had a police escort. Then I heard a commotion outside, Chloe was barking like mad, thought it was next doors. Later I went to give Sam some food only to find he had been attacked by the hawk, sitting dazed near the trampoline.

On Friday, Amber finally got her first Merit Certificate, probably because the teacher knew we would be there to watch her perform the drums!

Found a very interesting web site today to make carry bags http://www.morsbags.com/

THE DAY OF THE HORRIBLE CRASH

A combination of speed, wet road and bald tyres. The 4th accident in 20 years, 1st death!

Interesting scrapbooking & crafts I found today

How about this lovely paper for scrapbooking. I found it on Activity Village UK. Loads of other things too - a plethorah of free downloads - just up my alley!

MORE DREARY WEATHER

Mouse taking time out to play on the trampoline.

Yes, winter is definately here. Yesterday, we had fog all day. Having a break from Jodie who is at Tracy's so Amber invited Sky over. They are making icypole & matchstick toys with the hot glue gun.

WINTER IS HERE brr

While searching for something for the Joey convict activity I came across this craft site, lots of freebies, just what I like! http://www.crafthead.info/index.php?id=370

Off to Beacy today for the Gross Eating Challenge but before we go, Jodie has broken her braces so an unscheduled trip to town!!

GARDEN UPDATE

Well, just look at this..................... Broadbeans and Peas galore with lettuces, silverbeet and beetroot peeping through.

Cardmaking

My terrific efforts with a serviette:

MEMORANZA AT WENDY'S

Last Sunday was spent scrapbooking at Wendy's. I felt very enthusiastic and finished 4 pages.

THE DINING ROOM CHAIRS

Nearly finished the chairs, what a hard job it has been.

Lenah/Palava Hop at Carnacoo. We enjoyed crafts and

making icecream in a bag. Jenna-Lee
wanted a better look during the trail so

climbed up the

blood tree to get a better view

Here we are making the icecream

The week that was

Nothing unusual this week, canteen for both High & Primary Schools. Cards on Tuesday, had a demo from Kazzaz Cards which was fun, town on Wednesday for mystery shops and Rawleigh deliveries then into the museum in the evening for a free look at the new exhibition, bit boring. No Joeys, was to be Thursday but due to a muck up, that was cancelled! Jodie on the bus for Scouts Thursday and now Friday - Sarah visiting and she and Amber are having SUCH fun with the drums and guitar. Amber into town for Cubs and me another Mystery Shop at Mackers...... then off to camp tomorrow.

THE BIG WEEKEND

Took Amber to Cubs then off to do my mystery shop, Rawleigh Delivery Ethan. Saturday, we all went to the revamped Exeter Market while Peter continued with the shelving.

Mothers Day AGH I woke feeling awful and the girls brought me breakfast in bed of pancakes with jam and youghurt. Jodie made me the most wonderful power point Mothers Day card and Amber gave me some lovely things she had made at camp - what a lucky person I am.

DAY AT AGFEST

What a fantastic day we had at Agfest. 9.30 getting home at 3.30. A quick look through the crafts where we only bought some fudge and some special pens for the girls then off on a marathon 7ks around the site. We bought a drill sharpener, scissors & blade sharpener and a chainsaw sharpener - golly Peter's work will be cut out for him now.

WEEKEND ACTIVITIES

Took the girls to Port Sorrell for yet another Scout camp. Got there early 1/4 to 6 so we could set up Jodie's tent in the light but the rest of the group, apart from Robbies family, didn't arrive until after 8. This meant getting all the tents including the auto tent up before they went to bed which was after 11pm! Still, by all accounts, they had a good time. Amber got laringitis. Jodie didn't find her camera so no pics.

Peter went to town and on the way back, picked up Ethan to give Tracy a break. As I didn't get home until nearly 10pm, he had to put him to bed - good one! Peter has been madly puttiing up new shelving everywhere. We have now got a lovely new floor to ceiling mirrored wardrobe in the bedroom and it took him just 2 says to put 12 shelves in. Ethan thought it was great fun to ride the tricycle around the garage while Peter was out there.

I have even managed to de weed much of the vegie garden after the wonderful efforts of our French backpackers and now there are lots of broadbeans coming through and hopfully peas very soon.

Back to school today and the mountain (again) of washing.............

DAY TRIP TO LATROBE

Another very cold day but a lovely visit was had with the ladies of craft to LaTrobe. Of course, I went and did my own thing. While they looked through the patchwork and lace shops I checked out the op-shops and Chickenfeed. Got a peg holder as I guess I will never sew myself one and some bits and pieces of craft for Joeys next week. I brought my packed lunch and sat and ate it in the park. The others were going to Relaquare but decided they would have lunch to so we wondered off to the RSL.

An excellent meal was had by all, apart from me who had a lovely hot chocolate. Will highly recommend this establishment and take the family next time for a devonshire tea.

While the rest went to Relaquair, I went to the Card and Scrapbooking shop but amazingly, didn't buy a thing. It was lovely to look around for an hour then went back to the others. We found another patchwork shop which they said was far better than the first one and I got some bias binding to make another casserole holder which Jenny is going to show me next week.

We got back at 4pm, a very relaxing day. Am putting a bid on a very nice -5 sleeping bag, just 2 hours to go. Let's hope I have more luck than with the back pack. 15 bids already and it is up to $51, don't like my chances but you never know. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=170324634285
