special gift

I just logged into my blog a little while ago with the intention of uploading the photos below and telling you about another fellow blogger whom I greatly admire for many reasons. I always have a look at my blog roll to see who has blogged since I last logged in and lo and behold there is a lovely feature about her on flowerpress

I received this lovely gift last week but as the froglet had borrowed my camera for school camp until today I wasnt able to take photos.

I have made great use of this gift already and showed it off to my friends.


Thank you Cam for my lovely gift

4 days and counting

yes folks only 4 days till I go round the bay... well part of it anyway lol.

I have managed to get in the last week 3 pump classes, 3 rpm classes, one boxing class, one step combo class, tomorrow will be another boxing class, do you think I have done enough to be ready for my ride???

I took my friend with me to RPM last night, she gave me evil looks throughout the class and told me she hated the class and probably me too, but today she loves me again and isn't too sore so I might get her back again!

My friend Claire has been very busy lately and is featured in her first magazine article in this months issue of Homespun. She also has created her first softie using Mellys beautiful new range of fabrics

She brought him into our sewing group the other night, but he had lost an eye and some teeth and we all thought he was very cute being a one eyed monster.... we were thinking of names for him but I don't think Maddie the monster is going to stick!!


I can also brag here that I have another very talented friend, Anita who recently quilted a stunning quilt for Melly, she quilted my daughters quilt and our camping quilt, which I think I have posted about in much early posts.

While I am spreading the word about my very talented friends I should also mention Jennifer who made herself the bestest nappy bag ever!! She got some of Rosalie Quinlands plastic coated fabrics and came up with a cracker of a design. We were out fabric shopping a few weeks ago and several ladies commented on her bag... she should make up the pattern as I know there are many bag ladies out there! I personally love Bruce posing, versace eat your heart out!!

One of the things I love about my blog is my blogroll. I can read all about other peoples lives, some of these ladies I know and some I have gotten to know through reading their blogs. I have met a few of these very talented ladies (and their partners) selling their beautiful crafts and creations at markets. I hope to meet some more of you in the not too distant future.

new background

I added a new background to my blog today. Thanks Kay for showing me the link that was too easy! But then choosing a background oh my goodness!

I chose one and decided bluk... changed it to this one but hmmmm not really sure about this one either.

Quiet day today.., got to go and get some milk as the froglet drinks it by the litre. Extra day of work tomorrow... think of the money...

Raining again today yippee! need to fill that tank up.

Have sat here and opened up a million tabs full of other peoples blogs,
saved a few that I liked more than others. need to get up and do something.
Or do I? *evil grin*
