Another sneak peek

I have been sewing again today..... lovely clean sewing room, a pleasure to be in there.

So I am now caught up on my long over due PIFs. Never again. Can't seem to make the deadline. I mean a whole year??? Yep I failed.

Anyways I hope the recipient thinks it was worth waiting for. A few other goodies to be packaged up, just not photographed here.

Colours aren't true either, what appears blue is really purple.

I have been told by some you don't like sneak peeks.... haha!

Will reveal all soon!

Life on the Lake

Kookaburra!

We have our fair share of feathered friends visit us on the Lake, but in almost 5 years, this is the first Kookaburra to land in our yard.

What do little sisters do........

When big sister has a week of swimming lessons?

Dry their already dry hair, that's what!

Scrolls

Tried out a new recipe yesterday with huge success. Vegemite scrolls. Found it on the vegemite website under breakfasts. Now please don't call me un-Australian but I don't eat vegemite - anymore. Remember having cheese and vegemite sandwiches for lunch as a kid. Vividly remember my Dad being most put out one day when at work he had cheese and vegemite sandwiches for lunch and was certain my mum had given him my lunch by mistake! So this is what everyone had for lunch today (except me). DH even taste tested them after dinner last night and gave me the thumbs up. Rather than bready, they are like a scone dough.

So not wanting to miss out I made some more today - spread with pesto, olives, semi sundried tomatoes, feta cheese and then sprinkled with pine nuts. Yummmmmmm!

School broke up today for two weeks holidays! So looking forward to not rushing in the morning! We are going to road test some more scrolls too... maybe ham and cheese? Feta, pumpkin and spinach? Also think if I add a little sugar to the dough and spread some jam and berries we might get some sweet scrolls. Oh, the options are endless!

A sneak peak and lots of thankyous....

A huge thank you to everyone who sent me good wishes for my 40th birthday.... and to the chookster for the announcement. I will be replying personally to everyone who's comment was reply-able!

So where have I been? ........I have been sick.... I don't think turning 40 really agrees with me! I finally gave in and went to the doctor this week and am feeling much better since the antibiotics kicked in.

As for what have I been doing... I can tease you with a sneak peak.... these are gifts that are long overdue and will soon be in the mail!!
