Hello Friday!!

Can you believe it is already the last day of October?? It seems like it was only yesterday when the year started!

I've been busy the last week sewing Christmas Ornies, still need to put the finishing touches on them! made a doll, which I will stuff over the weekend.

Need to think of what I could do with 12 little pie tins! LoL as usual I bought them without giving that any thought!

and finally my roses are starting to bloom! I don't know why, but every other rose bush in town has been flowering, I've gavethem fertilizer but no flowers until this week!! Even my new Dublin Bay rose has a flower!

Recipe Tuesday!

Chicken Wraps

2 pieces of Lavash bread (any flat bread will do really, I just had Lavash in the cupboard!)

1 cup BBQ chicken ,shredded

1/2 avocado

1/2 cup grated cheese

semi-sundried tomatoes

After a busy busy week, with work and family I realized it was nearly a week that I wrote something here on my blog!
We have had a rather busy week at work with all the drought assistance paper work coming through for a lot of the farmers here. Lordy the paper work it brings for us though!
At home, I've been hounding the kids more then usual to clean up their rooms. Specially the girl have trouble realizing what a wardrobe is for (besides kissing it with lipstick on that is!) and just dump their clothes washed or unwashed on the floor. How they know what is clean or not Ill never know.
On a quilty note, I've now finished 17 of the red/white Courthouse Steps done (only 60 more to go!) Then I got my Create and Decorate magazine today, and my to do list has grown once more.
And after waiting and waiting for the kids to use my tray, I've made myself braekfast in bed Saturday morning.

On Sunday we dragged some of the kids to Bendigo for a visit to the Art Gallery. Lewis and Megan enjoyed it a lot and the lovely lunch we had across the road from the Gallery was fun too!

Work in Progress

11 done, only 69 to go

Farm work

No I don't really live or work on a farm, but this morning I was called to do farm work.

Herding sheep that is! In the garden (and I use he term garden losely)next door, they keep 2 sheep to keep down the grass (easy job for the 2 sheep! it is so dry here grass doesn't grow much!)

So this morning I open my blinds to have one sheep standing on the veranda looking in, and I can see the other one making a B-line to my rose bushes. So like the shy petal that I am, I threw on my robe, grabbed my thongs and was out the door to get it away from the rose bushes!(if I wasn't so shy, I'd run out there almost nekkid! why are the most comfortable pjs always the more ratty ones??

Funny thing is they weren't impressed with me chasing them, kids thought it was very funny watching me! One of them managed to get a pic of one of the sheep (thank goodness AFTER it was pee-ing and not while it was doing that!)

Baby Sitting Duties!

The things you do for your kids!


I was looking forward to a nice quiet day all by my self (hubby working, kids either to Bendigo or the Show)
In storms Danielle with her friend who just got himself a kitten at the show! "Mum can you babysit for a few hours?? Pretty Please??
Now if you look at that cutey in the above picture, how could I say no?? So here I sit with a little furball snuggled into my neck! Oh lordy, I just hope I can let it go in a few hours!!! Coz heaven knows we don't need anymore animals!! (1 dog, 2 cats is enough!!!!)
