Only 4 more sleeps to go!!!!!

Well the time has come for my biggest little girl to go to Prep (or for those reading in NSW Kindergarten). Why can't each state use the same terminology???

So Miss Lily decided we needed to have a dress up day to share some photos! And she plans to stay dressed this way until bed time!

Don't you just love the excitement in her face!

To go with the uniform we needed an art smock... not just any art smock but the most colourful one we could make! Thank you Grandma...

Then we needed a matching chair bag! Thank you Grandma!

Next to come was the matching swimming bag, library bag and pencil case!

And the last matching school items come courtesy of a size 12 uniform I found at my local Salvos... now chopped and sewn into hair bands and hair ties... thanks for the inspiration Karen!

Many more of these already made and gifted. Still quite a few to go...!

A long time coming...

What is 6 months between posts? A long time!!! 2012 will be my year for a new computer and better internet connection so that outdated and unreliable technology is no longer an excuse for not keeping my blog updated.

Here are some pics from Christmas... my Mum, Sister, BIL, Niece and Nephew came to visit from QLD.

Look what Grandma made the girls for Christmas!!! Isn't it GORGEOUS!!!! Thanks Grandma...

Here is what my sister made them!!! Not the best picture as it is impossible to stand still when there are Hobby Horses as beautiful as these to be riden! Thanks again Aunty Helen!

Many pillowcase nighties have been churned out here over the last month. Here are the cousins in matching ones for Christmas - gorgeous whether you are 2 or 13!!! Pillowcases found at the local Lorraine Lea Linen Factory Outlet for 50c... it cost more for a metre of satin bias for the straps! My nephew couldn't resist crashing the photo with his new fluoro orange sunnies!
