You know what I like about socks? They travel anywhere.
These ones remind me of vibrant hibiscus flowers and thus seem very tropical to me. I feel like I should have my knitting in one hand and a large layered fruity cocktail in the other.
Don’t forget to enter the Raffle for the Monsters!
Such a weekend you never did see! Well, I did, and you might have, if all of your circumstances came together like ours did! You know when you see a stuffed life sized tiger in a white hearse that you’re in for something a little different!
We had an Adventure all planned out, and at the last minute decided that this really may not be the perfect weekend for that particular Adventure. The weather was not cooperating with us.
So we decided to go play tourist instead by purchasing some tickets to the Sydney Aquarium with some left over holiday money we had.
We got there about lunch time, and there were queues, and we were dispirited, so we decided to find food, re-group, and come up with a new plan. We re-grouped here;
Such a steak you never did eat before! So tender, so juicy, so LARGE!
Three hours later, the queues to get into the Aquarium had mysteriously vanished, so we thought we’d try our luck!
We saw Dory
and Marlin
and Pony-Boy
and Bruce’s cousins …
And a MERMAID!
*cough* I mean, Dugong of course!
Such an amazing day! We had so much fun! We’ll definitely be going back!
Now don’t forget the Raffle to raise money for the QLD flood relief is still going but ends next Monday, 24th, at 9am. If you have yet to enter Just head to this post and follow the directions. The clean up efforts are just monumental, and every little bit helps.
Something a little different in today’s post.
I am holding a raffle for my Monsters. You remember them …
They love you and want to live at your house! They also want to help people like this,
The rules are simple –
The Raffle starts now.
An entry in the raffle is going to cost you $5 paid directly to the Flood Relief Appeal. (If you can afford more than $5, please think about making a more significant donation.)
On that site you can make an online donation, and once you are done you will get a receipt number.
You then need to stop over here, and leave a comment with your receipt number and email address and you will be entered. It’s that simple.
The Raffle must end on Monday 24th at 9am.
At the close of the Raffle, I will contact the winner and the Monsters will be winging their way to one lucky person. I will cover postage anywhere in the world.
If my prize doesn’t interest you , there will be raffles, auctions and sales popping up all over blogland – Just pop on over to Make It Perfect blog on Friday when the master list will be up.
Please help. Please spread the word.
It’s a new year, it’s a fresh start, and as I do most years about this time, I’m culling all the clutter in the house (Himself and I may, or may not have hoarding tendencies). With the pulling down and storing of the xmas tree for the next 11 months, I have played some furniture tetris, and rearranged the living room to give us more space. The Studio is next! (Vinnies usually do quite well out of this process)
I hope everyone’s New Year celebrations were wonderful and you’ve begun the new year with a sense of purpose and determination! *grins* Our celebrations included Raspberry and Vodka martinis!
So far this year I find myself on a health kick, and I’ve lost 6 kilos since the beginning of December! Who loses weight over the holidays?!? Who though that having an iphone would help me lose weight?
I have put myself back in school and am studying for the first time in years! This could be interesting, as being a student was never my strong point; much as I love learning. First assignment is due, and I have to keep on track!
There is a new day job which is wonderful in it’s ability to pay me. Not to mention filling my afternoons, leaving my mornings free for study.
But I won’t be abandoning you little blog and my three faithful readers! I’ll still be able to regale you with all the crafty things I’m up to, and hopefully a little more information about what’s in store for the shop in the coming year!
And so this post isn’t completely dry, here’s a local hibiscus I spotted while getting fit
And these are the socks I’m working on.
Eye bleeding! Aren’t they?! *grins*
I may be spending some of my time off with pretty string and sticks in my hands.
You know what’s better than one monster?
Two monsters!
Daw! He has a big brother!
Monsters are more fun in pairs *nodnodnod*
