moving...

let me just say ... i dont move well..hate it in fact .. i dont deal with change very well at all either...sooo having said that ...ive moved! 600k away from my homeand the small community  that ive been in for 26yrs .. back to my original home .. brisbane!! .. im dealing with several things atm ... no job OMFG my job of 18yrs that i absolutely loved..that was soooooo hard to leave really really hard to sign in my key and shut the door one last time *tear*... ive moved back in with mum ..that in itself i need my head totally read! .. so the new goals are .. get a job .. im not sure what i want to do tho after 18yrs in early childhood... bunnings?? garden centre sounds good who doesnt love bunnings ... then i need to find myself after having been lost for years .. who tf am i .. seriously really who am i... lots of soul searching is to be done i would imagine.
i went to the shops today and i must admit ... barring all the people *ack* the shops omg the shops!!.. i fit here i fit amongst the hussle and bussle of shops that sell ..well everything!! seriously everything LOL... im keen for the beach tho ... so in a little bit i will be changing my "surfing on acid" ditching the jager for something a little more me .. more beachy! ... we will see........ <3

... a sad goodbye

well its been 4 weeks now and as i look out over a now growing patch of grass i can talk about it without the tears flowing on cue.... 4 weeks ago we said a very sad goodbye to a very much loved member of our family and pets are just that members of families.
for anyone who has pets you know exactly what i mean...
katie, aka... katie-cat, pud, puddy, pudding, and countless others!! whats with calling ur pets heaps of  variations of their  "pet name" or different ones  altogether!
katie was nearly 20 she will have been 20 in february.. almost deaf but managing well until two weeks ago she started going blind... now deaf on a property is one thing but going blind is quite the other thing altogether... she was getting quite distressed (not being able to find her way around) and that was inside let alone outside ... so a trip to the vet to confirm and ask the best possible outcome was that the following day she was to be taken back ..i of course chickened out and poor david had to take her back in whilst i drove to brisbane for the school holidays bawling almost the whole way......katie will always be the pet we loved the most and wont be replaced for a while yet .... <3

am baking today....

i will be making the chocolate revel bars posted below as well as some choc chip brownie slice .. this is all a ruse, i dont feel like vacuuming LOL .. cameron is also going back to gatton tomorrow and once again the house will be quiet, i miss the "heya wierdo or mcwierdie hows ur day been" .. and his music which to some would be "that head banging crap" but to me some of it i dont mind but it means the house is noisy...that sort of stuff cos really theres not much u get out of a 19yr old cat except "meow" and thats usually cos ive not given her some of our favourite tuna lol.
so baking... theres a bad side to baking tho it sits there looking at me lol. ill be giving cameron some to take back let me tell you!! ... sigh...

i should really get......

... a new look blog ... part of me is not game to change it ... u know what ifs etc ... part of me doesnt have the time to surf for new looks either ... but one day i must...wonder if i can keep everything but change the name and hmmm what to??? ...*ponders that thought* a little more ...

books and journals






some books and journals I've been working on ....

*love*


always loved pottery ...not your usual run of the mill brown pottery crap but pretty fine pottery....Etsy Shop...spun mud has the most gorgeous pottery....

housey stuff


I'm always on the lookout for beautiful rooms ... I'm not sure if its because my house after 25 years still isnt finished ... its rather crap actually because it could be a beautiful home in the country. I've had dreams and thoughts about it for that whole time and realise that it just won't be finished ever .. it makes me sad to think that... I've envisioned my house for years, beautiful, resplendent in loveliness ..but I think i have to come to the eventual thought that it's just not gonna happen *insert sad face* it's rather a crappy feeling. Anyway I think thats why I continue to find pics that appeal............

all things crafty



found the most beautiful tags at thepapertreedesign.blogspot.com

just gorgeous .... sigh ...
