The week that was.

Well news in brief _______________________

and thats all I have to say


Na kiddingI always have some news random or not.
First off
I have been trying to de -clutter not an easy feat with the amount of people and their bits in this house and not easy when kids go back into said clutter that you have put out to remove  and take  out things again.arghh.But have tried with some success but am now on a hiatus from it Well one day of decluttering was better than none wasnt it?. Send me an organiser person as a gift any time people
This is me but with craft stuff and clothes and kids junk HELP I am being buried alive...

Got a collection of my vintage pieces I am going to sell soon YES! it will go towards our car fund.

All this for sale soon.

 Car fund? What car fund?The captian has decided we want a Hyundai Imax.8 roomy seats and room to seperate spread the kids plus great storage in the back.

Have 2 ladies wanting record bags so am making a few to sell also going to car fund.What should I charge  for them?$35-$40 for large and $20-25 for small?Tell me your thoughts please.I have been busy making them.Lots of mistakes along the way while I improve my technique.



Got a conditional home loan approval at last  Fingers crossed everyone.If we get it we can start building the 6 bedder we so need and I will get my double garage all to me!This is not the design we chose  but it will be something like this.....

Yere I know so not me! This is more me..

But you gotta do what you gotta do but one day I shall get my country house!!


Saw a gorgeous older lady with pink hair going into the opshop as I was leaving and I had to tell her how gorgeous it was and she let me take a pic of it but was too shy for a face one.Her name is Carol and as we were talking she said her mum who must be late 80s at least still has heaps of her old clothes from way back (yes I gave her my number in case they ever sell them).Then as we continued talking I remembered I had met Carol one evening a year and a half ago but it too awhile to click.How funny was that? Anyway  she remembered me then as we had similar stories of Bipolic family in common.She was a doll then and still is.Anyway the story is  I took a pic of her hair for my lovely pink hair loving ladies that read my blog.
Isnt it lovely?She has it long and puts it in a braid with a bun.You guys all follow the Advanced Style blog dont you?I think this lady should be in it.


Lovely Laura ran into another car Thursday on her day off she was so upset,Luckily no one was hurt and she is insured and its not unfixable.But always be careful at traffic lights that no one stops suddenly in front of you so always  look and watch and watch and look.She still decided to go camping and took Miss 10 with her.
Her car


and as Laura loves 4 wheeling this is what it looked like when she got back.(All clean now tho)


OK  random thought time.Why hasnt anyone made trampoline beds yet?Yere I know  right?How cool would that be?? "You kids quit that and go jump on your bed for awhile" I like the idea. lol
