So this happened the other day after rugby..(I don't know if ive ever mentioned I play for an all girls rugby team??)

Id been at work and the pain in my thumb was getting pretty bad. It had been sore for about 2 weeks after a dodgy tackle. So I got it xrayed and it turns out my thumb is broken. :(  So blogs will be postponed for a while (or maybe be sporadically posted) as it takes AGES to write them. Miss the blog already as I have so much to post but at least I can still check out the internet say little g'days to you all. Maybe might even do a video blog....... hmmmm thats got me thinking!! xxx.

'Lest we forget' by David Frazer

Yesterday was ANZAC (Australia & New Zealand Army Corps) day. It is a day Australia marks  Nationally to say thank you to all the fallen and current soldiers who continue to protect our country and those who have died doing so. Its such an amazing day of mixed emotions. I guess for me hearing the helicopters fly over at dawn sends chills up my spine, but I love seeing all the soldiers, and their representatives in the ANZAC marches. I think its such a proud moment for them and for me as an Australian.

We get to play two up in the pubs and shout diggers beers. Its such a great celebration after a sombre morning.  I know im grateful to be Australian. 

Lest we forget.

Happy Earth day for Friday peeps! I had a great day today with my sister here visiting- I had a Saturday local market wingman! We trekked off to enjoy a good old fashion market day.

I loved seeing all the upcycled market stall holders, people with their odds and ends everywhere, and granny's with their yummy cooking!

This was complimented by an amazing chat with a stallholder who had upcycled woolen jumpers into slippers! they looked so cool. (no photos cause im a scaredy pants and need to work on my confidence in asking people to take their photos).

Has anyone got any tips they use to ask people for photos??

Im really excited at the moment, as Easter long weekend is coming up and some of my friends are driving from my home town for a mini getaway to the Sunshine coast! Which means i'll get to see my little godson and my bestie! Of course i want to drown him in chocolate eggs and chocolate bilby's- but I wanted to make him a bit of a zany Easter present. So using some felt I had around the place this is my progress so far...

I made a super basic template

 Im still umming and ahhhring over his nose and mouth style?? hmmm... I'd love suggestions please!!

My sister is coming up also! heheh might play some board games and enjoy delish wine- all while eating chocolate eggs!

What else gets you pumped up over long weekends??

 

 

The Silver Fox?.... er... The Silver back?..... hmmm... The Snow Leopard... hmmm nope. I just can't class it up. GREY HAIRS. A whole clump of them has invaded the side of my head! WTF? Im 26 years young. Im in my prime dammit.  SOS call to my mother- who in the most motherly (annoying at point of crisis) tone informs me that she is 'suprised that I have kid myself for so long' and 'haven't realised sooner'. .... im so confused. what? pfft. As if all my hairdressers have lovingly taken my hard earned minimal wage money since I was 14 years old.. and not one of them has informed me of the 'grey clumping issue' happening above my ear?? 

     ..."Welcome to my world, darling".

Gee thanks Mum.

I hope everyone had a beaut weekend. Im still excited from the op shop (thrift store) finds! Despite my little glassware treats, we got this great interior fabric which will be perfect for our van. Yah!

Simon driving us home from thrifting! 

Simon (BF) and I have a van that we are currently fitting out so it will make our lives alot more easier when we go doofing. Ive been pondering over colour schemes and practicalities etc. Yer Yer... its gotta be dark etc, so blacks, purples, midnight blues, but i needed PIZAZZ!

So the pondering manifested into a great deal of blogsurfing (hang in there with me there is a segway to the interior of the van). There are some chicks out there who seriously crack me up! Their writing style is fantastic not to mention the accompanying photos. Anyyywhhooo... so there I was cracking up at Erin's blog, particularly the 'Apartment Bullsh*t' section where she was sharing her tale of the much awaited bedspread... then i was thinking..."definately worth the wait Erin- cool colours, INFACT... even cooler... the zebra"

Total van lightbulb moment-  the sneeky new addition to my interior van colour scheme....ZEBRA PRINT.

eeep! I think the inside of our van is going to be sooo delish we won't even be bothered with the outdoors! hahah.
