valentines day

I was a very lucky wife yesterday!!
I got thoroughly spoilt

....and I like it!!!

Things in my Garden!!!

These are some of the beautiful frangipani flowers from my garden - they have been so great this year! So tropical!I love to put them in a float bowl or a big long vase - just to show the off!! I have my plans to get a couple more tree's put in - Just need to figure out where!! This is my little Austin.... ok ok BIG Austin! He's not fat, just really fluffy... and the fluff weighs a lot...

This is my favourite spot - on a nice calm evening this spot is magic with candles glowing - or during the day when its hot, I can sit under the shade of the grapevine and read the paper and enjoy the serenity!My Sister in law Trace kinda gave us these fushia's (in a long roundabout fashion!) They have been fantastic and this year have been quite prolific - so much so that I had to have words with it - using my secateurs! (that is how you spell it isn't it??)

Hi Lilly-beth!

So many creatures and critters hiding in the garden here - careful where you step!

This is Mr Mungo man! He is a statue we bought with a wedding voucher present from my friend Lynda - don't know that she knows about him yet... hmmm?.

PS: Lynda... we love him! He's so great in our little "tropical area" of the garden!

mosaic fish

This is a mosaic that I have been working on lately, its a lot bigger

than anything I have done before.

I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. These photos were taken before I grouted the peice

I love these colours - they worked really well together.

This is Dave giving me a hand... helpful chap to have around he is!

TA-DA!!!

And this is the finished product!

PS: the fish I picked up for $2 at a trash n treasure stall!

(I loves a bargain!)

mosaics continued

I said when I had some piccie's of my new room finished that I would put them up

A little pile of "creative junk" - stuff that I may find useful...

cos I am not allowed to leave lying stuff lying around the house like this, but in my room I can do whatever I want!!!! mwah hahaha

Yep - I even have a TV and Video

I love having to something to listen to, or watch, while I work away at whatever project I am doing - I usually have a about three different projects on the go... sometimes its easier to get them all to the same stage of grouting and then seal them all at the same time - lot less waste and hassle!!I like it when Dave comes in to visit, and sometimes he helps me out - which is cool!

As you might be able to tell -I am really pleased with my little place..

summer fun

My fears of the pool not getting used enough this year were unfounded!Me and Chanel after Kyles Birthday!

she makes for a handy shield!

Check out the super flying boy!!

Meet Porpoise Pete!

for some reason we always need to refill the pool after they all visit

...Hmmm why is that???

how much fun does this look Jake??

This Summer Dave got to play on a really neat Jetski, we were invited to go with our cousins in Perth. However the January weather kinda let us down....

looks like winter doesn't it Oscar?

Reilly hits the big 7

Happy Birthday to Reilly

His birthday was on Friday - he had party at the pool, with a big blow-up play thing on the pool, although I didn't have my camera to record it - it looked like heaps of fun.

Hope the rest of your Birthday was fun too!!
