LOVE FRIDAYS........................

I Love Fridays this week because:

I finished work on time!
I had a nana nap!
I have this sunday off from work so I can go to the Mill Market in Geelong!
And we just ordered Pizza for tea!

This may not sound very exciting, but this is great for me this week......

To see who else is playing check out Tinnie Girl..




Here is one of my Favourite Kasey Chambers songs, enjoy!

Love Fridays..........................

This is my little Chef Pastry Brush! Today I have a few reasons to Love Friday:

#1. I got a job! After quite a while realaxing in the country I have a job back in the kitchen of an Aged Care Facility in Melbourne.

#2. Mr S and I have found a way to stay in Melbourne for work and still come home to the country house at weekends.

#3. Once I start work I will have more cash to seek out some treasures from the Ballarat Op Shops...

#4. Our 3 dogs will be able to stay with us in Melbourne and come back to the country on weekends too!!

#5. Mr S will start a new job at a Dealership in Melbourne in the next few weeks..

We originally moved to the country because Mr S had a new job working for a friend! Any hoo that didn't eventuate! Lesson is unfortunately never take people at their word....
After a few months of mayhem it looks like our life is finally going to get back to normal, thankfully...

I just remembered another reason!!! We just went to the Supermarket for shopping and found a Packet of Bertie Beetles, I'm enjoying one now!

Late Vintage Thingy Thursday....Love Fridays!!!!

I didn't post this yesterday. I spent the last few days gardening in very hot weather and ended up with a Cold??? Go figure, but feeling much better today! I posted this jam bowl, sugar bowl and milk jug last week. As you can see from the pics the jam bowl doesn't match the rest!

I stopped at Vinnies Op Shop in Ballarat on wednesday and found this Jam Bowl for $5.00.

When I got home Mr S pointed out the fact that the bowl matches the rest of the set!! Yipee!!!

How Freaky!?! Staring at the matching set makes me really Love a Friday!!

I stopped at another Op Shop today but my newest goodies are still in the car, I will get them out tomorrow and show what i found!!!

Last Day of Blogtoberfest! Love Fridays....

First of all I want to thank all the peeps out there who have made me feel welcome to Blogland!!! All the people who have read my blog and left me comments, thanks for your effort!
I have really enjoyed Blogging thus far, although I haven't completed too many projects it has been fun reading all the blogs and seeing what great things other crafty people accomplish each day!

Today is the last day of Blogtober fest so here is a quick glimpse of what I have done this month! I bought a new sewing machine, reorganised the backroom and set up the sewing desk..

I made my first card using my glue gun and vintage buttons. I realised I really like making cards...

We had two uninvited guests during Blogtober! Two Blue Tongue Lizards who had to be relocated so the puppies wouldn't eat them! Oh alright, yes they scared me?? I dislike scaly reptiles OK!

Using some remnants from Spotlight I made a little mat for my repainted cabinet!

I posted this string Doll for Vintage Thursday and I think she creeped out alot of people!!! I also picked up the craft book in the background at the local market!

I won my first ever prize! This Gingerbreadman Potholder specially made for Blogtoberfest by the very talented Hoppo Bumpo!

I actually did quite abit of baking, these Fairy Cupcakes, I also made scones and cakes for my weekend visitors!

That is just a few things I posted this month!

A big thanks to Big Cats Emporium for Blogtoberfest, it has been great to find and read more blogs and make bloggy friends!

Oh I nearly forgot why I Love Friday? It's the last day of Blogtoberfest!

And if a miss a post I won't be stressing out! He! He!

Love Fridays..... New package..

Today I recieved a post parcel!! Very exciting, as I opened it I told Mr S to hurry and grab the camera before I ripped it open! I won Liesl's giveaway for Blogtoberfest and here it is: It was wrapped in Purple my favourite colour!!! And came with a beautiful card attached!

I read the card and opened the package, it was the georgous Gingerbread Men Pot Holder and the generous Liesl also made me a special Pot Holder to match my kitchen! What a wonderful suprise.......

I love the Gingerbread Men it is very original!

One side of the extra Potholder Liesl made me is a retro black and white..

And the other side is a funky Red!!!

Thanks to the Lovely Liesl at Hoppo Bumpo for going to so much trouble just for me! I wasn't having the best friday so timing of this parcel was perfecto!!!!

I am making Cup cakes tomorrow for my visitors so they will be straight to work tomorrow morning..........

Love Fridays..............

What better reason to Love Friday than my first sewing accomplishment in a very long time.

My bathroom wall has Pink paneling in the wet areas, because its an old house.

Photo doesnt quite do the colours justice its a lot brighter pink. I had a Pink Voile curtain hanging there that came with the house so I wanted to add some other colours so I have more choice for different coloured towels etc... The new sewing machine worked a treat, I only had to unpick once because I had a problem with the bobbin......
