Happy................

In most cases this is not even worth blogging about but in this house it is a remarkable event. Watching from afar our beloved football team finally won a game. We are very happy but we are so very happy for all those lads who have been waiting sooooo long to sing their theme song after the match.

Go Tiges!!!!!!

Friday again!...................

I have found it very hard to get to this little space this week. School holidays are upon us again, 2 weeks this time and we have been busy with friends, having dinners, watching the Va'a sprint championships that are happening at our local beach, waiting hours at the post office( this is a story for a whole post on it's own) and then trying very hard to fit in some general relaxation time. The later hasn't worked very well but we shall get that next week as we plan on heading way up north to go camping.

The very cute teeni tiny Blythe figurines you see are ebay purchases that I received this week. These teeni tiny gals caused the extended time sitting at the post office. I must remind myself next time I am looking at something cute on the internet 

'that yes 99cents is cheap but the amount of money and effort that is put in to the getting this cute thing doesn't always add up to time well spent'. 

Do other people do such silly purchases? Anyway they are very cute and they are going to be added to my new collection of Blythe related paraphernalia.

Another Monday and another public holiday. May is the month of public holidays here in Noumea and there is alot of them, nearly one a week. We are spending this one at home watching the rain pelt down........it has rained nearly all weekend and this morning! Not good for the kids but good for me. I love it as it means I can do a whole lot of crafty things without feeling guilty about being inside so needless to say I have done some sewing, baking, crocheting and blog reading.

As I write the sun is trying to pop it's head out from the clouds maybe we might get a family walk in before the end of the day.

My creative space & the 3 cupcakes.........

    
                              

Once upon a time there were 3 cupcakes. All  3 cupcakes were going on separate adventures to 3 different girls for their birthdays. The raspberry one is going to Estelle for her 8th birthday, the mint one is going to Sophie for her 11th birthday, she is travelling all the way to Australia and the vanilla one is going to Robin for her ????birthday. Number unknown and she proabably won't want me to tell everybody anyway. Not knowing how this story ends i'm sure these 3 cupcakes will have an adventure of a lifetime.

Check in on the others in their respective creative space's.

Red and tagged.......................

1. red, 2. red boots, 3. red1, 4. Margot's new hat, 5. nifty needle roll-2, 6. red rabbit

Ages and ages ago I got tagged and of course it has taken me so long to get around to doing it. Today though is the day you get to see what I have to do in this tag. It is all about colour and I got the colour red!! I went through my photos and found a few I had taken of things that were red around our house.I was originally tagged by Nicky she had the colour green.

Now here are the rules- 1. Say who tagged you and link to their blog;
2. Post 7 pictures of the colour you've been tagged and say why you've chosen these pics;( I only got six because that's how many fit into the mosaic)
3. Tag 7 other people and give them a colour (I don't think I will make it to 7 I am just going to name a couple....)


Kris- she can have the colour Blue
Posie- she can have the colour Pink
Cathie- she can have the colour Purple
Sandrine- she can have the colour red 

There you go girls play along if you like and have the time.

Is anybody else having problems putting images up on blogger? It is doing some really odd stuff........any feedback would be helpful.

Sunday..............

It's Sunday afternoon and we are nearly at the end of a 4 day weekend. It has been a nice 4 days we didn't go away as school holidays are upon us next week and we hope to go away then. The weekend has seen us do a bit of everything some bike riding, some walking, catching up with friends, lunch out, sleeping in and having drinks at a local coffee shop that makes super-dooper fantastic hot chocolates.Sunday for me  always has a different feel to it so I know this afternoon brings the organising for the week ahead. Homework needs to be finished, school bags checked that they have everything in them and a special sunday meal. The meal has to be something that makes us sit around the table so we can talk about what is happening in the week ahead. Tonight it is pumkin & potato soup, I think I may even bake some savoury scones to go with it. Yum yum!!!

Do you have a Sunday afternoon routine?

Edit-have been trying to add in a image for ages but blogger is doing some crazy stuff, image may have to come later.
