More photos... and the excuse lol

Well so much for my 30 days of blogging... thanks to the delightful internet provider I am with, I was without any mobile wireless broadband for 10 days. They also can't seem to configure my new phone so I can blog from that either.

Anyway I have turned Claire into my own personal plaything. Like my own Lady Gaga doll. I don't care if you think I am weird, she will have her name in lights whatever she decides to do. So here was today's photoshoot. I only shot a few nice ones of Charlotte, she kept poking out her tongue and posing with her bottom in the air.... she's going through a 'no photos' stage, not that she enjoys having her photo taken at the best of times lol.

I love the influence of Elsie and mags like Frankie and love trying new stuff out on Claire. All the while hoping that maybe she might even enjoy our afternoons at the park in dress ups.

She was trying out her serious face with those lips. When she laughed or smiled she looked like a little bunny.

Oh well it's way past my bed time.... nite nite xx

Day Four - Your Favourite Book

Definately Rudyard Kipling - Just So Stories mainly because of how my Mother would animate her voice while reading it to me as a child, something i hope to continue with my ladies. Another great one for animated mummies is The Magic Pudding by Norman Lindsay. Great names like Bunyip Bluegum and Uncle Wattleberry!

Day Three - Favourite TV program

How weird is this? I have two favs both are from the UK Eastenders (I know, how ridiculous? But I got toally sucked in by it all... a bit like the poms watching Neighbours or Home and Away) and the other is a crazy series called Shameless, it so 'adult themed' that it runs late at night on SBS (which, incidently is how I came to love Oz as well). I really find a lot of TV quite entertaining. I always watch Sunrise before work and try to watch the local news at night. I try not to be a couch potato and do othere 'stuff' while I watch TV.

Day Two - Favourite Movie

Without a doubt fav all time movie... Fight Club! For so many reasons. So clever, twisted and really fabulous message.



My favourite scene is where Tyler Durden steals the licence of a guy who works in a dingey video shop and threatens to kill him if he doesn't start night school to become a doctor... something the guy had dreamed of becoming as a boy. Such a good hearted chap lol

back soon...

Kraft It Up - April

Hello again,

I suppose I should mention the fact that I am on holidays while the ladies are also on their school break. They are however with Grannie for the final week, out at the farm, running amok and wearing out Grannie and Gabu. For that I am truely greatful. I am spring cleaning and managing to squeeze a little crafting in too. I finished this for April's challenge at Kraft It Up

Thanks for looking! Till the next time... adios!

Day One - Favourite Song

Music is such an enormous part of all of our lives and so many songs hold so much meaning. I could never nail down one song that would be my favourite. I love everything from The Eagles to Lady Gaga anything commercial. I've never been a fan of Heavy Metal/Death/Thrash etc and the concerts I've been to probably reflect a commercial kind of mainstream.

In my teen angst years I was helped through with a lot of Steve Earle (NO NOT COPPERHEAD ROAD!!!) I started out quite red-neck probably because I was showing Quarter Horses and the whole cowboy thing was going on. Back to the concerts... Jimmy Barnes - about 6 times now, Robbie Williams - 3 times, Panic at the Disco they were amazing, on the same night as Cobra Starship who have now got some radio play which is good. I would love to get a tattoo with a song which was menaingful to me but I figure once I start with the tatts I wont stop... so far I have 3 peircings but no tattoos... I just know I will end up covered in them and with a sewing machine tattooed on my neck and consequently lose my job lol

Anyway back to the question... I have Brass In Pocket as my ringtone at the moment and I can't nail down a favourite.. so here are some in the favourite file.






OK that'll do pig... that'll do. Lib x

Let's Get Shabby - April

This is my entry for the Let's Get Shabby April challenge. You needed to interpret 'Easter' in a shabby theme.

The whole thing from the top to bottom is, birdie from fred The Needle in Penrith, little bird house from Bunnings, Kaisercraft paper (banner) and pearls, the roof is silver masking tape from Bunnings, Basic Grey PP around the Scrapware birdhouse. I painted the birdhouse in Easter colours, which to me mean pastels, green, orange, pink, blue.

The most exciting thing is the largest mushroom. I made it myself from sculpey/fimo. Such fun even though it took me hours.

There are punched butterflies, raffia and choc eggs in the birdhouse.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! Lib x
