Seven Little Things

1. A new challenge is up at SUYS.....use the sketch, add a handmade item.....easy peasy japanesy! Check it out here.

2. Our 19th wedding anniversary rolled around earlier this month and we treated ourselves to a rare dinner out. Beth insisted on taking this quick (rather grainy!) snap of us as we were walking out the door....

3. Soccer season is on again! All the girls are playing this year.....Mimi is loving it so far, she skips around the field with a huge smile.....I think the ball actually came into contact with her foot last week! Go babe!

4. Mother's Day was a lovely quiet affair. Spent much of the day sitting in the sun browsing through my gorgeous new book.....

5. Jemima Cat is thriving on good food and lots of cuddles. Look at her now!

6. One of my fave weekend activities is to pile the family on the back of the ute and check the property. Yesterday we did just that....

......it never fails to renew the spirit and fill me with gratitude.

7. I have been very good and not made a scrapping supplies purchase for months and months and months......but this new collection from Echo Park is screaming BUY ME!!!! What do you think?

Wot Big Eyes U Have!

Everything about our new little kitty cat is miniature - except for those big green eyes and her giant chainsaw-like purr.

Tim brought this little scrawny bundle home to us the week before Easter.....poor little darling was living in behind the Coke machine at his work (a big noisy manufacturing plant). The boys had been leaving their lunch scraps out for her and watching her antics and this day Tim managed to coax her out for a cuddle.  We've named her Jemima and she is fast becoming the boss of the house!

Wow - we had such glorious weather over Easter. Good Friday was spent on the water with friends and family and our new boat.....

Easter Saturday more friends came over for a yummy roast dinner cooked on the barby and a huge bonfire.....

Sparklers, glow sticks and toasted marshmallows....

......with entertainment provided by my brother Tim.....

Easter Sunday we were up bright and early - as is the tradition in a house full of young children! The Easter Bunny was overly generous as always....

To me the break seemed surprisingly long and lazy......with plenty of time for fun and relaxing.....just how they should be.

I finished this library book....

(a light hearted and funny read in the vein of the Shopaholic series)

And started this one....

....the sequel to Eat Pray Love.

Hope you all had a lovely time over Easter as well.

Talk soon.
