Only in the tropics!

Would you hear this conversation
Lucas 'Mama, we are going to play in rain'
Me 'Righto, don't forget to put your swimmers on'

And here they are..playing with their off road lego vehicles through the puddles in the rain.
Straight afterwards, an hour in the pool


No threat of cold, flus from playing the rain here..it is TOO HOT!!

Our guard dog!

He looks scary doesn't he..our 45kilo puppy!! lol

Farewell Gift

To a very special family from our homeschooling group!
And nothing says 'Remember the Tropics' like a little tie dyeing!!

It is a piece of white homespun I tie dyed and then backed with some bought blue homespun. I added a cotton batting in the middle for some strength too.

They could use it as a wall hanging, lap quilt, picnic rug..whatever they please. As long as they remember us when they use it :)

Goodbye!! You will be missed!

HOME SWEET HOME meets Mini Cavaleros!

I really love this machine embroidery flag set design by Luzia Pimpinella and available through HUUPS
Sorry about the poor photo..I find getting a photo of the full set difficult!

A close up of the flags

I am not a person who particulary likes skulls BUT I love this fabric!! After using it for this set for my sister, I HAD to buy more.

How groovy would it look in a bag. And I gotta say it...I love the pom poms too!

Rainbow Made picture

How bizarre!

I walked out the front door on Friday to get the mail and I noticed something in the lawn.
On closer inspection, I found this.....

A GIANT mushroom. Mollie and her friend think it is a fairy circus tent!

Comparison to my hand

And yesterday, it looked like this..

Yep, a brain!!

Weird hey..I will take a photo of it today..I haven't checked it this morning :)
