Here is the hat I made.

This is the hat I made for Charli to keep her head warm at school. I also made a burgundy one for Cate. Funnily enough Cate's is smaller than Charli's. I have also made some really cute little slippers for a little boy who was just born at church. I haven't taken a photo yet but I will. I am off to buy some flannel today to make some sweet little baby blankets too. Creative creative creative.

I love these

Can't get a picture of them up for some reason. But they are something I think people would really like for gifts. Something to think about.

The Pope has come to town

Now I am not Catholic but I have been really impressed with the Popes visit to Sydney. The whole atmosphere has been loving, kind and generous. I was especially excited about the Stations of the Cross re-enactment. Billions of people got to see this re-enacted and the focus was all on Christ. Very very good. I think the Catholic church has done a brilliant job. Hats off to them.

Pulling my hair out kinda day

I have had the craziest day today. It started with one of our clients being totally off their tree resulting in an all out brawl with all the residents yelling and screaming at each other. I ended up taking the men out for the afternoon and leaving the girls with Tina. We went to Palm Beach, tried to find some Home and Away Stars but there were none to be found. (See what kind of day I was having) On the way home one of my men accidently wet his pants and then we got a call to say hurry back to work your exercise class is waiting and there is a documentary team here to film it. Rushed back to find a room full of people, cameras, mics and stuff and told to act natural and pretend the cameras aren't there. By this time my head was pounding, my exercise ladies looked like they were going to cry and..................and....................and...................LOL you get the idea right?

On the bright side I noticed today that one of my co-workers had a pandora bracelet on. How weird is that? Never even heard of them and there one is. Plus my other co-worker said that she brought her ten year old girl one for Christmas. A fake one but the little girl thinks it is a real one.
Ok so that was my WONDERFUL day and I am off to bed. Good night.

Pandora bracelet

The latest craze to hit the world. My friend Sally told me about these last night. Her parents kindly brought her one and told me to check them out. They are so gorgeous. You can buy all kinds of meaningful beads to add to it. I really like them. I think I would like one. But I don't really like silver jewelery. They are pretty exy too. But still so pretty. Something to look at and admire I guess.

Here is Hamish reading the Bible at church. I was so proud of him. I wish the picture was clearer though. I just can't believe that this time last year he couldn't even read and now he is reading like a pro. Such a clever one. LOL>



This is Cate and Cody. He is our friend Gills little boy. Cate really likes Cody although I think she is a bit jealous of him because she really likes Gill. LOL.

Knitting and crochet pattern links.

Trying to make Steph and Alison a scarf each for their birthday. Hard to find the right pattern. Need somewhere to keep all the links.
