What's not to love about Farm life...........

Last year we rescued a dog from the pound and he has turned out to be a darlin'....a best friend to all the kids and great company....I can't believe we didn't get one sooner. Some things are just meant to be though!!

Here's the two cuties hangin' together.

According to her, this is called "being cheeky" in the branding cradle ...that's about right!

Which way next...?

Poddy calves.....sweet!!!!  Meet our new friend Rossco.

Sticks in the Mud - as opposed to Frogs in Ponds

We were having some fun with desserts recently and we came up with our own silly version of Frogs in Ponds.


A Stick in the Mud!!!

Pretty dodge pics but you get the idea...we mixed blue and red jelly together to get the mud look, then poured on custard and a biccie. Still tasted as good as a Frog in the Pond, but was a Stick in the Mud!!

Chalkboard lunchboxes

I love being able to write notes to my kiddlywinks as they head off to school.  I have laminated notecards on their bags, but also I sprayed part of their lunchbox lid with primer, then chalkboard paint so I can write a message to remind them about sports.....to have fun......or some special event. 

Apron for a Dora fan

We went to a birthday party recently for a sweet little 3 yr old who just adores Dora...so I made this apron and little dilly bag for her.

The little lamb print was a cushion panel, that is sewn into the band, so it goes over the top of the stripe.  I used vintage lace to dress up the ruffle.

I have found that when making aprons, the sash can never be long enough, I make them so they wrap around to the front now and kids can tie it themselves.  It looks cute too.

I made some rosettes and sewed them onto the bag strap

Aprons for school fundraiser

Recently we had a school fundraiser, so I thought I would make some little aprons...these two are matching colours but slightly different.  It would be cute for them to be worn by little sisters...

Vintage Hobbytex prints

These are some gorgeous quirky little hobbytex paintings my Mum did for we kidlets as children...I have always loved them and this week I got the hubby to hang them in the kitchen, they match the eclectic feel of red white and blue perfectly and are special to me....needless to say my Mum was shocked to think I would hang them....but I think they are great!!!

Mint and Orange clutch

Fashion post today......I bought these gorgeous shoes online recently they are perfect....peep toe, a bow, wedge and a lattice effect so I just love them.  But to go out to dinner last night with the fam' I didn't have a handbag to match.....

Sooooo, I went straight to my vintage brooch stash and came up with this one that was given to me as a present as a little girl...it isn't a brooch, actually a scarf holder so I could get the clip to sit on at all...

So once I had found this, I found the glue gun and popped it on it a matter of seconds and my look was complete.

Whooops, I forgot to mention the ultra cool part,...I have been loving mint green lately, well for a few months that's for sure, and I found one at Vinnies a few weeks ago, just a simple little mint green clutch that had never been used for 50c.....

It looks pretty plain from this pick, but it is that really pretty mint green or sea mist colour....

But then how cute do they look together....50c fun for me anyway....
