Twins Turn 8!





It's hard to believe that my twin boys turned 8 today. Time has sped by at a rate of knots! It has been a fabulous journey and a privilege to have had two such beautiful boys together.
Now you know that I LOVE making bags, my children see the process of construction and the whirlwind of fabric and bits and pieces that storm through our house.
The boys have been asking me for quite a while to make them a "boy" version to house their D.S player and special treasure!
Well what better time to deliver than on their birthday.
They were joyfully received and full of "stuff" within minutes.

Easter Adventures








Easter is a lovely time to getaway with the family and spend sometime together having fun!
The beach this year was fabulous, with the children swimming everday - too cold for me but sunshine and water were irresistible to them!

The Charm Of Beads








Another fun holiday activity at our house is beading. Beads are such beautiful creations coming in all shapes, sizes, colours and textures; not unlike humanity.
My three, love sorting beads into appealing pattern and designs. They put together five different patterns and then select two of their masterpieces to produce.
There are going to be some lucky teachers when we return from holidays :)

Creativity in the Family









It is school holidays and the weather is cool and showery, there is no better time for making and creating.
My three have been industrious for hours decorating and constructing castles and designing jigsaw puzzles for each other to do.
Now they are making up plays for their favourite "littlest Pets" and the castles.
So much fun!
