Don't get blown away with all the dust.....

Back In The Land Of The Living

Hello to everyone,
It has been 105 days since I last wrote. Where has the time gone.....
It is only 105 days till the start of the New Year.....Where has the year gone.....

Where do I begin with what has happened in those last 105 days......mmmmm

First thing to talk about would be I am now married to Jason and so far in our nearly two weeks of marriage things haven't changed apart from us having less space in the house due to all our lovely gifts - Thanks Everyone..... We love them all.

Secondly our trip to Europe was amazing. I saw so much and experienced so many new things that I will remember them for a long time. It was an experience that I am glad to have experienced but I ws glad to come home. I am not much of a big city girl, to many people for me.

Thirdly due to new rules in the education department I am no longer able to access my blog during the week so will only bebale to blog on the week ends or when I have access to H's computer.

I will only be able to post photos on the weekends hence the fact that this blog entry doesn't have photos.

What else has been happening in the last 105 days....

On my way to and from work I pass a big patch of Sturt Desert Pea. They are a rear sight out here and I have taken lots and lots of photos of them. I have also been creative with my wruiting skills and wrote a acrostic poem about them which I will include in my next blog entry along with some photos.

Last weekend was the annual Louth/Trilby Scrap Booking Retreat. Thanks To Gabie for organising a wonderful weekend and to all the ladies who attended. It was lots of fun. Only 359 days till the next one.......

Shelley, my dog is due to have pups again soon. This time we did want her to have pups (not like last time). The father of the pups is Jason's black dog called Dog. We have a bet on what colour they will be. Any one want to join in.... Shelley is nearly pure white and Dog is apart from his toes pure black. I think they will be like Dalamations.

I have gone the whole of winter without having a cold and what hppens....... I now have one. Blocked nose, sore throat, head aches, ear aches, cough..... I have the lot..... I am slowly getting over it but the forever changing temperture isn't helping - cool mornings, warm to very warm days, cool to cold evenings.

Well I think that is about it. I will hopefully post on the weekend with some very random photos from the past 105 days. Along with a few craft/journal/knitting/wall art/inchies/creative everyday entries.

Till next time which will hopefully be before 105 days......
Emma

HELLO

HI Everyone

Where has the time gone? I seem to be running out of time and there are not enough hours in the day for me to complete everything that is written on my to do list.

Apart from having the flu and staying in bed, not having internet access (still not working properly at home) being away, rain and wet roads I suppose the reason that I am so busy is I have two major things in my life happening this year and I need to have them orgainsed before they can happen.

What are those two major things you ask?

- Number one is in July – Jason and I are off over seas to Europe/Germany for a month

- Number two is in September – Jason and I are getting married

So as you can see I have a bit on my plate at the moment. Both are good things just lots to get orgainsed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to MY LITTLE SISTER TRUDY who celebrated her birthday and is longer a “Teen”, on the first of June along with my grandmother and HAPPY 2nd Birthday to RYAN – one cheeky little Boy :-)

Lots of photos now for you to look at.

Photos from the May’s CED topic – NATURE
My Bark Dog :-) :-)

Love watching Ants rebuild their nests/hills after the rain - all the fine crumbles of sand.

A cool leaf I found on the ground - it looks like it has fossilised.

How cool is this sun set...........

This Red Robin was a very patient Bird. It took me six photos before I managed to have it focus - the sun was directly behind him so I had to keep moving around him.

Very Foggy - I like fogs - they are magical - They feel like an Unicorn or dragon should appear through the mist

Some Collages that I have been doing with the girls as part of their school work.

A bower Birds nest/bow that is near where Jason is staying at the moment. It always has new things each time I look at it.

I am lucky enough to know a person who has an opal mine - he was showing me some of the opals that he had when he was up and this one had to be my favourite. I love the circle patterns in it.

Here is one of the Zebra Finch nests that we have under our tank stand at home. There are three of them - when I hang the washing out I can hear the baby birds calling out to their parents. They have all left home now but I am hoping they will be back again next breeding season.
Photos from this months CED topic – SOUND

I change the writing on the black board ever other day – it is out on the side verandah and you see it as you come back from going to the loo – the girls like it when I change what is there, both trying to guess what the next picture will be.

Seeing as this months CED topic is sound I thought I would write my top ten sounds at the time of posting each blog entry: -

1:- hearing Jason’s voice when I speak to him each night
2:- rain on a tin roof
3:- birds singing their morning song
4:- random music playing softly in the background in the school room
5:- girls laughter while they are playing
6:- the timer on the microwave to let us know that our dessert is cooked
7:- gentle breeze blowing through the tree tops
8:- sounds of pencils moving, rulers being put down, scissors cutting – school is in progress
9:- boiling water in the kettle – coffee time
10:- friends chatting over the coffee

Just a random thing:-
Leaving foot prints in the sand

The Beaches of Cheyenne By Garth Brooks

They say she just went crazyScreamin' out his name She ran out into the ocean And to this day they claim That if you go down by the waterYou'll see her footprints in the sand'Cause every night she walks them beaches of Cheyenne.Nobody can explain itSome say she's still aliveThey even claim they've seen herOn the shoreline late at night. 'Cause if you go down by the water You'll see her footprints in the sand'Cause every night she walks them beaches of Cheyenne.

I Love this song by Garth Brooks. (have only included the last two verses of the song) The song talks about how her partner went somewhere and never came back and then she went crazy etc
I love this song not because of that reason but the foot prints in the sand – you never see her but her foot prints are there.
When we go for our walks in the mornings and afternoons – we see small animal tracks in the sand but we never see the animals that make them and I always think of this song – we never see them but we see where they have been – leaving their foot prints in the sand.Yes call me crazy if you like for relating animal tracks in the sand back to this song but I have thought of it ever since I started walking in the sand and seeing the tracks.

Just Some random photos I like at the moment:-
- three dogs on the front seat - very squishy :-) :-)

Saw this gnome in the shop - just had to buy it......

We have some spolit dogs at home - not that Jason will admit it though - this is where Milo (dog at back) and Oates (dog at front) sleep when it gets cold - on the lounge in the back shed. Other dogs sleep on the single seat lounges on the other side.
SPOT THE DOG...........

Milo was very buggered this day - didn't move when we threw the cushion onto him....

Well that’s about all I have for this entry.
Don’t know when I will blog again but hopefully sooner rather then later.
Happy Creating

What a weekend

(wish I said I grew these but no. Jason's mum did :-) Love mothers day flowers)

Firstly HAPPY BELATED MOTHERS DAY to all the mums out there. I hope you all had a realxing day :-)

Saw these tulips in town on Saturday and really wanted to buy some but decided that they wouldn't last in a hot car all day then the rough trip home so took a photo of them instead.

Well I have been busy over the weekend. Busy doing NOTHING!!!! Jason and I decided we wanted to go fishing for the weekend so that is what we did.

The following is my entry in my journal on Saturday morning

Saturday morning around 6.45am on the 9th of May.

Am sitting in front of a fire

Under a big tall gum tree

with a view of the river

waiting for the sun to show it's self through the trees here

All the birds are just starting to wake up and sing their morning tune. The kookuburras have been the loudest so far.

The only thing wrong with this picture is I don't have my morning coffee in my hands as Jason doesn't have a billy any more :-( but apart from that you can't spoil the morning.

We ended up with one good size Darling Cod and some nice size Yellow Belly (which I am cooking for tea tonight out at work) YUMMY

A picture of the moon from the weekend.

Couple of other random photos:-

Me relaxing on trampoline at work with coffee and book in the afternoon warmth

I thought my squash plant was dead until I found this on the weekend. Isn't it a beauty..

Art in Progress picture two - have more canvases so am working towards my sisters present.

Well that's it for another entry

Till next time

HAPPY CREATING

Colours and Nature

Hi Everyone

Lots of colourfull art works happening here.

The girls created these ones - a line one and a circle one each. They are their mother's day gifts for Sunday.

I like how bright they are so had to make two for my self which I will hang in my scraproom when I get home.

My sister Trudy liked the blue line work I did and wanted some so am now creating some for her to hang in her room at Uni. This is how much I have done so far.

This months Creative Everyday Topic is NATURE so I thought what better way to start off this topic with making our own paper. The girls, H and I had lots of fun making the paper as well as making a very large mess.

I won't be making paper again in a hurry but haven't completely wiped it off my to try again list. This is the sunrise I had coming to work on Monday.

Well I had better get back to work.

Till Next time

Just a quick post

Hi Everyone
It may be the first of May today but it felt like the first of winter. I had a look at our school thermometre this morning around 7.45 and it was only 4 degrees C. Arrgghh Imagine what winter will be like. Thankfully the days are still warming up.

Just two quick pictures today:-
Here are my Bling Inchies - Love Hope and Charity.


Here is something that I have been working on this week while the girls have been busy with there school work.

ONly problem is I don't know which way I will hang it in my lounge room. Out or in??????

I will be hanging a picture in the middle.

Am looking forward to the Creative Everyday topic this month - NATURE - will ebable to have lots of fun with it.

Happy Creating Everyone.

Till Next Time
