OFF WE GO TO HAMILTON TODAY

Today we will all be piling into the Highlander and going to Kelly and Rena's combined Birthday Party in Hamilton.


I'm quite looking forward to it.  We haven't been to Hamilton for a while.


I am totally chuffed with my re-arranged kitchen cupboards by the way!  I've got heaps of room for all me bits 'n' bobs now!  I am amazed at how much 'stuff' I have!  The only thing I have to do now is NOT GET MAD when I can't find anything!  lol


When we get back from Hamilton, I hope to actually get some sewing done!  I have been saying that for ages, and it never happens?  I don't know why!

ABOVE:  see this?  I really, really want to make this too!  It's a Melly & Me pattern, not available yet sadly.  But... I am going to be on the look out for fabric like that! It's gorgeous.  I even like it in orange!  But blue would be better.... ha ha ha!

ABOVE:  and how cute is this?  Copied it off someone's Facebook page!  Yep, I'm a thief.  


Right... time to get moving... want to get a few things done around the house before we head off....


ONWARD...


Well... we drove to Hamilton, had a 'party' type lunch, watched Rena open some presents and ... came home again.   4 hours out of the day!
Now I want to go downstairs and tidy up the card making area... and the sewing area so I can do some sewing.
At last.


Got a few photos of today:

ABOVE:  on the left the Card Steve and Bex made, on the right, mine. 

 ABOVE:  the turtle painting Bex made for Kelly.  Kelly loved it.

ABOVE:  see?  She loved the painting.  Stew and I gave her the large glass bottle with flowers in it, on the table.  

ABOVE: the other birthday girl, Rena.  I think she was having a good time, but getting tired by the time we left.


Now... before I go downstairs, I'm off to do something with hard boiled eggs for dinner.

ABOVE: it LOOKS easy eh?  It ain't.  I did three, two eggs split when I pressed the pencil on to the top.  One MIGHT come out right.  *sigh*... at least I tried.


End of Day:  we watched 'My Sisters Keeper' movie tonight.  I had read the book, so found the movie not so good.  It had a totally different ending from the book too... which was confusing.... but at least the movie had a nicer ending than the book.
ON TRACK: nah, I had some chocolate!
nite nite.
