Not much to report here. Life has taken on a slower pace and we are all participating. I haven't done a whole lot of crafting or much else in the past week. The bare minimum of housework was done and not very complicated meals were served up to all. Nobody complained so that was ok. I need to have those weeks every now and again, do you?. I am hoping this week will be a bit more productive on all fronts.
There was some glory in the week I found a little Japanese store that has a few very cute bits and pieces, not alot but a few. We started getting some things for the upcoming birthday of the wee ones. Some little sticker books and Hello kitty goodie bags.
I have finally gotten around to finishing my PIF packages. My recipients have been waiting a bit longer than the time required. I am so very sorry for this girls but you will see your gifts soon. It is amazing how life goes by without me noticing and I loose all track of time and then a whole year has passed. Does this happen to anybody else or is it just me? Maybe Noumea is a bit like a Bermuda triangle and time just goes missing like airplanes.
Anyway I have given you a peek of what is heading out and I will show all when they have arrived safe and sound at the other end.
Yesterday was fete de mere(mothers day) and what a nice day we had. We spent the morning eating french toast, waffles, tea and plenty of coffee with a friend whose husband was out of town. Then the day proceeded on with more friends coming around who ended up stay for dinner. Even though I had to do a bit of entertain and not a lot of sitting I had a wonderful day. With nice company and a fabulous Pilgrim reindeer necklace who couldn't be happy.
This morning to say a big thank-you to the husband and kids for the necklace and handmade cards I baked them some lovely cupcakes for their after lunch treat.
We are all very lucky in this household.
I have a very special little fact to share with you today and that is I can bake meringue's again. All humidity is out of the air and the egg whites, as is my hair, are doing what they are supposed to do. The eggs are fluffying up beautifully and my hair is not. How can this not be a fabulous Friday. I'm giving you a sneak peak at what is going to be served up for dessert tonight. Are you jealous?I have also been busy putting a few other things in my wee little shop. Pop over and you can see what other little things I make besides owls.
We are into to Pucca big time in this house. She is very cute and very feisty. Anyway we search high and low for clothing that Django can wear with her on it but much to our dismay it is all a bit girly. While out the other day we got ourselves some transfer paper with the idea to make him something and here it is. All his ideas I just had to do the manual work. There is still some crabs to go on the sea floor but he couldn't wait to wear it so I will finish that when he put his pj's on tonight.There is a heart in there I don't think there should be any problem finding it. To find a whole lot more hearts have a look at Kootoyoo
What a very rewarding week I have had so far. Not rewarding in me getting stuff done that I need to but in winning things. It is up to 3 so far but I think that is were it will end. I can't be to greedy. The special things are as follows.1:: A sweet package of barrettes from And she's off as part of the sew mama sew giveaway.2:: I guessed the right twins on little arty crafty crow. I thought this would be a tricky one but obviously the brain was working correctly yesterday.3:: and there was a Pendantic pendant going begging at Pink Licorice-life that needed to come to the Pacific.That is a whole lot of goodness for one week. Now I am going to be sitting and waiting for the sound of our postie whizzing down our street.Thank you again to all those lovely ladies.
The time has arrived to let you know who won my giveaway.
Now with all the excitement of how many comments I was left by all you wonderful readers I decided to add on a 2nd draw. The first person randomly drawn was comment number 77 which was - Djaj and she requested Leon le chouette. How appropriate that he is going off to a French speaker.The 2nd draw winner for a lovely brooch is Christy. I am so happy lots of people came to visit and by you all visiting me I have found myself a few lovely blogs to add to my collection. I will be happily filling what spare time I have catching up on what you have all been up to.I will contact you shortly for your address and so forth.
Cheers againAngelique
