New dresses!!






















Hi all! Just thought I'd share my latest creations with everyone! Last week I booked the girls into schoolcare on different days to give them some "one-on-one" time with Mummy! Abbie chose chipmunks and then a trip to the fabric shop so I could make her a new dress. I also chose fabric for Caitlyn.

The pattern was $10 and has done both girls. The fabric was $7,50 a metre and I needed 1 1/2 for each dress. I'm really pleased with the results and so are the girls!!

Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays to all the teachers out there! Well, it's been a busy few weeks and I've been slack at updating my blog, but as they say, better late than never!!!
The last week of school was chaotic!! We had an excursion to Australia Zoo which was fabulous! The kids had the best time and the croc bus up there and back was awesome! I got lots of photos ready to display in my classroom. I was exhausted Wednesday night though!!!

Then Katrina went for an interview as a Sunshine Coast South numeracy coach and found out Thursday night that she got the job!! So that led to lots of tears, cleaning and me feeling very nervous about having a new teaching partner for 4th term! I still don't know who it will be!

This week has been crazy! Here's a rundown:
Monday: Took Harry for a "playdate" at Vicki's house with Bella (her new maltese x poodle) puppy!
Tuesday: Work. Cleaning and planning. Yeah!
Wednesday: Caitlyn to schoolcare and Abbie and I went to Chipmunks! Went to Eastcoast fabrics and bought material for the girls to make them a summer dress.
Thursday: Shopping centre with both kids (arghhh!). Printed photos from Aus Zoo.
Friday: Abbie to schoolcare and Caitlyn and I went scrapbooking. Lunch at coffee club. Went scrapbooking with Vicki at Blossies 7 - 12midnight!

I also made a fantastic purchase from House and Garden. I saw these tiles and just had to have them! They are hanging behind my couch. I don't normally like oriental designs, but I just thought these were gorgeous!!



Also, my Dad has been really unwell for a few weeks. The dr thought it was bronchitis but after further tests, it turns out that he has whooping cough!! Thank God my kids are immunised! He's been coughing for about 4 weeks now, so he's on the way to recovering thank goodness.

Now I have updated you all on my doings, feel free to update your own blogs!! I look forward to seeing what you've all been up to! Especially Toni and Deb, expect to see lots of photos soon!

Take care all and I hope we can catch up soon!

We had a busy but fab Father's Day! We started with presents in bed, then off to shops for a few last minute treats, onto my aunty's for a BBQ lunch and then a trip to an appointment at 2pm!!! By the end of the day, we are now exhausted, but have had a great day and got a few lovely photos... Happy Father's Day to my hubby and my Dad. xxx
