Oh the pain!

I am in so much pain. I ended up at the hospital last night and it turns out that i have pneumonia... again. Thankfully we caught it early and I'm on antibiotics so I'm hoping that they kick in soon. I have been taking panadiene for the pain which does help but it only dulls the pain.

I promise to be a better blogger once I am feeling better :)

Where did the time go?

On Monday of this week my little girl celebrated her 4th birthday. Where, oh where, did the time go? I still remember the first day i held her tiny little body in my arms and the first time she looked up at me and smiled her sweet little smile. It just seems so hard to believe that my precious little bundle is now a big Kindy girl!


You are growing into such a sweet little girl Amity and I love you with all of my heart xoxox

Remember Me?

Where to begin? I have been stuck in a craft rut the past few months so havent really been able to find the mental energy to post about anything worthwhile. I'm glad to say that i am feeling a bit better now though and that i have started my crafts again.

First time for everything!


Well i feel very honoured to have received this award from TWO separate blog-friends!

A HUGE thank you to Katie of May The Cloth Be With You and Sarah of Ideyspidey for thinking that my blog is worthy of receiving the Proximidade award!

Proximidade is described as:
'This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes for self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!'

This blog award should be sent to your favorite eight bloggers and they, in turn should forward to eight of their favorites. You should include the text for Proximidade (above) in your announcement blog.

Now the hard part...

My favourite 8 are:

Thornberry

Tin Whistle

Cranky Pants

Flossy - P

You SEW Girl

30 days

Jetta's Nest

Melly & Me

Birds of a feather...

Ok, so this bird might not have any feathers but it is rather adorable, don't you think?
I picked up this beauty from a little gift shop called Realm by Design in Mosman Park, Perth.
It was $35 and worth every penny! It was made by ELK Accessories over in Melbourne out of stainless steel and undyed wood. Check out their website as they have some gorgeous pieces of jewellery.

I bought the brooch back in December sometime and completely forgot I had it until today when I was doing a bit of a tidy up of my craft room. I found it and knew stright away what I wanted to use it for.... to add a bit of style to a crochet newboy cap that I had recently finished making! I don't know about you, but i think it suits the cap perfectly!

The cap is made using a pattern i bought off Etsy from thnkdfrent. I used Rowan All Seasons Cotton to make the cap so it is lovely and soft and great for those inbetween months as well.




The cap!


And being modeled by me :)

So, what do you think? (of the hat and the brooch)
