Two and a half years!

The new 2015-2016 Stampin' Up! Catalogue!  Very excitin!

Not many posts for 2.5 years at our 'new' farm! Never mind!  I've been busily posting on my Facebook Page (link in the column to the right) and busily making cards and working on the farm.  Winter lets us slow down a bit, but there's always things to be done! 

There is a lot of progress with our new fencing!  Woolshed yards are being 'tweaked' to help the whole space flow and hold stock more securely, paddocks are being rearranged and beginnings of lane ways are popping up!  It's very exciting! 

There have been accidents, wonderful visitors, a wedding, special birthdays, first day at school, first lost tooth, rose gardens, field days, crochet lessons, epic trips, girls weekends, crafting, cooking and working!

Our nieces and Goddaughters are growing up and we are very blessed to spend rare visits with them all.  It's never enough but a treasured time when we do manage it!

Lots more always happening and too much to talk about, so here's some pictures instead! I can't seem to control where they are going at the moment, so they are a bit randomly placed!

My FAVOURITE band in the whole world is releasing their new album VERY soon!

This year I am introducing a monthly evening open house!  Designed to help interested crafters and friends make time to learn some new techniques, work on current projects, help and inspire each other, and really, a chance to get-together combined with some casual creativeness.  To attend you only need bring yourself and either $10 per person to make two cards, OR $5 per person to bring your own supplies to work on.  It's a great chance to get a little supervision, learn a few tips and utilize my equipment and products!  I'm really happy to work on specific techniques or projects that you suggest! Come along and learn how easy it is to do some beautiful projects!

Hello Life 2015!

Happy New Year everyone! 

We saw the new year in 80's style, frocked up, taffeta, mullets and tunes for a friends birthday party! Awesome fun! 

We have also begun caring for two of our puppies whose mum suddenly died before Christmas. They are doing really well and bring us so much joy! It really is a privilege to look after them! 

We have had lovely visitors already this year and are excited to be expecting many more over this month! The farm work must still be done however, and we start shearing lambs on Monday! 

Let's hope for a cooler week next week! 

Stampin' Up! Have released the new 'Occasions' catalogue and it will go live on Jan 6th! Drop me a line if you'd like to get your hands on a copy and I'll post one out to you! Also starting Jan 6th is the Sale-a-Bration catalogue!

It really is easy an easy, fun and versatile craft and I'd love to show you how! Book in for a workshop to see some of the new product in action and get your 'hands-on' and make a project to keep!

These are a few of my first cards using the new Occasions catalogue products! I'll be posting more projects as soon as I can (when I'm not in the shearing shed or hiding from 40+ heat waves!!). 

Stay safe and be prepared in this bush-fire season! 

Happy New Year!

 

Ho Ho Ho!!

Two days till Christmas! I'd better get busy with the cake today (don't worry, it's a tropical one this year!), and if I have time I'll do some mince pies too, yummo! It's not Christmas without mince pies! 

This year has been fun, hard work and inspiring. My only resolution for next year is to squeeze in more craft and sewing! We are very lucky to live in a wonderful area with fantastic neighbours and a safe roof over our heads and it doesn't take much these days to be reminded of our fortune. I hope more people can find peace. 

A very huge thank you to all who have supported me in my first year as an Independant Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! especially my lovely hubby who has given me time when I needed it to complete projects!   I have really enjoyed my roll and hope to have a lot more fun next year with great classes and workshops.  I won't prattle on but instead will pop in a few photos of the last two months and simply say.....

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy & Peaceful New Year!
