Sunset...

This was a sunset that I snapped from our verandah. I also wanted to clarify that I am not trying to fry up the little chickens in the frypan.....that is their feed dish.

Here they are....

....yes these are the cute little chickens. (Sorry for the wait). This photo was taken when they were very new, now they are so much bigger.

We also have another chook who has had a little chick. So now there are 4. Will keep you updated as there could be more.

Injune paper bag challenge.......FINISHED (Yeah).....Can't give you any sneak peaks as it is a secret..... You will have to wait until the 18th of December and all will be revealed.....I'll give you a little hint....It has ribbon, buttons, paper, material and lots of supertape. Can you guess?

Little Chickens

We have 3 cute brand new chickens that arrived on Saturday. They are very sweet. As there are 3 I said that I could name one and my 2 daughters could name one each. I thought of KFC as the name for my chicken.....Can you come up with a better name for my poor chicken before it gets stuck with KFC for the rest of it's life. Will show you a photo of KFC soon.

Yes.....

.....We are still in the land of living.....and living we are.....so many things happening this term and I am finding it hard to fit everything in. I always find term 4 this biggest struggle as everything gets squished in at the end of the year.
What about this rain we are having? Isn't is amazing.....I am glad that I didn't rush in and wash the car....More mud to add to the collection.
Use this weather to your advantage and make some Christmas Cards or handmade Christmas gifts (below are a few ideas......Maybe a tin covered with Christmas theme scrapbooking papers and filled with Christmas treats or a cute little button pot) It is only 71 days until Christmas now.

Have a great rainy day

Injune Challenge

I was talking to someone (you know who you are) about this Injune Challenge recently and said that I would add some photos to the blog.
I attended a scrapping day at Injune and took part in the Patchwork Challenge. It came in a brown paper bag (all very mysterious) and had some instructions on the front.
The instructions were along the lines of ....it has to be useful......have a verse or word on it........use most of each item........
The bag contained..........a small square of material with cupcakes and cakes on it............chocolate embroidery thread............and some beads.....
This is what I made...... a recipe box......it is useful, I have laminated my favourite recipes so that they can be wiped clean, it has my favourite verse.......I'd give up chocolate but I am no quitter.....

I have taken another Injune Challenge on. To see this one you will have to wait until December when all can be revealed. I can however show you what this brown paper bag contains and its instructions. Will do this soon.

All ready....

Yes today the Showing of the Quilts was all set up. I did have a sneak peak (sorry there are no sneak peak photos for you our camera is away on camp) and it is all very exciting.

Open my fridge and what do I see??

I am sorry this is not really relevant to much at all but I thought that it was quite cute. No. 2 has given all the eggs in my fridge door faces. So when I went to the fridge (and no I wasn't looking for chocolate) this is what I had found.
