it is school holiday time for us - FINALLY!

yes! we are on hols, today is the first day.

we need it, it has been a. long. hot. wet. term!

I love, LOVE, LOVE school holidays!!

I am not delusional....

Miss Paradise is 9 and Lil Sis is pushing 7,

but right now they thing I am way cool!

(Now people, DON"T SPOIL IT FOR THEM!)

so today, we played hair dressers!

Lil sis, has some twisty action that ends in my first attempt at a fishtail plait. we are all pretty impressed with me on this one!

then we come to Miss Paradise.

She has my hair - I am sorry gorgeous, people will comment for the rest of your life, it is so thick, it is so strong, it has such curl.......

- you will always wish you got your sisters hair!

so for Miss Paradise we went with a controlling braid - that I have never done before!

for a first effort we are both pretty darn impressed!

as I told her, it can only get better!

so onto the really cool stuff.

We (the 3 of us) have been working on an old WIP.

A shaggy for Mr P.

we have laid out the design,

laid out the backing, and we have 5 rows fully assembled.

YAY US!

Long weekends, campertrailers, pretty birds and Oh! she is actually sewing!

This weekend is another long weekend here in Paradise, Queen's Birthday Long Weekend. Although our camper trailer is progressing it is STILL not ready. Weather here is not that good for camping though, nights are cold and it is still raining on and off.

See all that mess over the canvas covering the tent? That is from these gorgeous guys - Rainbow Lorikeets. These pics are from this afternoon. I have another pic from a little while ago over at Snappy Friends.

I have been computer less for over a week. No crash, DH rented out my laptop to a Dr going to a conference. Consequences of marrying a self employed computer tech! Still don't have all my files back (like my PHOTOS) but at least I am online. So instead of wasting all that time on the 'puter, here is a peek at what is currently gracing my design floor..........

Argh!!! Photo won't load.

DH's birthday present! His birthday was May 28, but he didn't say he wanted a quilt until the day before. It is all flannel, op shop pjs and shirts, plus some solid blue and green donated by my mum. Not sure what to back it with, so it productivity has halted.

Enjoy your weekend!
