time flies.....little man looking quite grown up in his little 'mini me' shirt...like daddy.

hot-not.......mmmnot my exact words

Not a big fan of the word 'hot' used for good, or nice, or even cool. I just think of Paris Hilton....

So hot.....

my wedding anniversary dinner last night... Cafe Silk -Cuban food! What a revelation, YUM.

Mum- for looking after the kids while we ate.

A whole night of uninterrupted sleep.

My friends had a baby boy yesterday, wonderful news...ethan is his name.

Rain on my strawberry patch.

Now Not.....

My big girl biting me yesterday...grrr, it better be a one off thing!!

Having so many things to do before 3rd Birthday of my big girl.

wet washing.

not enough time to muck about on the computer without feeling guilty.

Recipe of the week....mmm

Another fine  recipe...traditional I know, but lets not forget about 'piped' potato rings as a 'modern' touch. Bon appetit.

Recipe of the week....

In the vein of Master chef...I have been inspired by  this very old, but apparently classic recipe book. just look and try not to be sick.

No original ideas on this planet....: (

In my travels today...coffee, walking, newspaper for P, Frankie magazine for me, playing in the park....I spy this. I realise that there are no new ideas, and of course I love this site, but I did want to feel a bit unique in this new avenue I'm on. Never mind...I will not be deterred. I'm approaching a likely store in Queenscliffe next week.

Je ne parle pas francaise...petit...oui..non?

I have a new favorite place to look at very interesting pictures...and wish I understood a little bit more french than I do... it is here. This blog is BEAUTIFUL...and very inspiring

elsewares.....

Come over and have a look at what I've been up to in the small wee hours....at E L S E W A R E S

My thesis

Well, I'm putting my thesis on blogger...I thought other weaver-y people might like to see/read it. It's certainly no literary feat, although for me it kind of was. Plus, I thought it was a good thing to do to mark this time of year. It was around this time last year when we lost Kate. So the title of the blog is the same as my thesis, which sounds pretty pretentious to me now, The low art of looking. There should be a link, in my link list. I have to do it in installments, because of the nature of the file, and the amount, or lack of time that I have. If you like it as I go, (It starts from the end), Please let me know.There is a hot cuppa waiting for me, have to go.

some little things I've been making

I've started doing mail art again, some of it I just do on my own. Other things that I think I can include E in, she does it too. I'm not too sure if the organisers think much of a 2 1/2 year old taking part in ther art projects...anyway, I thought it might be a good way of thinking of things for us to do. It really involves a lot of different processes that I think she really digs. Like sticking, drawing, putting things in envelopes, putting stamps on, and posting things...receiving personal mail and also learning things about other places in the world. Plus it's really fun.

This is a very new pic of Charlie. He is 1 day old. Very new born looking, a bit puffy. He looks very much how Elsie looked.

It's been a while....

This is from Remo's Blog...See to the right, you can see all the splendour of Estonia in the winter time.
I have had my baby boy! A beautiful and whopping 10 pounds 6!! Yes, that's right. No drugs, no ceaser....phew. I'm very glad he's out. The labour was officially clocked at 3 1/2 hours...How did I get him out so quick??? It's all a mystery. So we have called him Charles, Charlie for short, and he is very nice. Elsie has taken a shine to him and seems very proud of her baby brother. Photo's of our boy will appear soon. He is very newborn at the moment, and is a little bit spotty. He was born on the 11 March at 3.38am

happy to you

Today is Elsie's birthday. She likes to sing the above words to Happy Birthday. This is she in her birthday present...full of sugar.

What a week!

I cannot beleive the week I've had with our little girl. Saturday night she woke up at 1am and did not go back to sleep....at all, until 10.30am the next morning. So, we watched a LOT of Charlie and Lola.
Talk about marathon. The poor thing has had a temperature and a nasty head cold. She really didn't come good until thursday. But, in the mean time she hasn't slept through since Friday night, except one night, just to lull us into a false sense of security. Both P and I also have colds, so, we feel great getting up to see to elsie at 3.00 in the morning.....and the little poppet will be 2 on Monday. I just wonder when will this sleep madness bit be over?
Not for ages, because our little fella is coming!!!
