Time's fun when you're having flies.". Saturday, December 31, 2011. TUTORIAL - Kid's travel activity organisers. I made these activity packs. Back in September. They were a desperate attempt to keep the kids busy on the plane. I had no idea just how useful they would be. We use them all the time. They are very simple to make, here's how:. Pick a main fabric, and one or two contrasting fabrics. Lay the pockets one on top of the other and stitch down the centre to hold them together. And to the cover:.

Time's fun when you're having flies.". Saturday, May 26, 2012. Edible front garden update. Here is the mango seedling we are hoping to plant in a few months' time. Our dear friends grew it from a seed from their mango tree for us. They also gave us a seed to try to grow, but so far it hasn't even sprouted. We are not natural gardeners yet. We also planted a few other plants lately, this is a tropical nectarine:. Unlike the peach we put in recently, which grew a little, and now looks very sad:. 2 tablespo...

Time's fun when you're having flies.". Wednesday, September 21, 2011. KID'S TRAVEL ACTIVITY ORGANISERS. I remember going places as a child with my 'busy bag'. Mum put together a bag for myself and my sister that contained a little doll, pencils and paper, a puzzle, and I forget what else. We loved playing with them: on holidays, at people's houses, at church. Sometimes we'd ask Mum to get them out for us to play with at home. Monday, September 19, 2011. THE GREAT WEED BATTLE. 6 or 7 weeks ago I began the...

Time's fun when you're having flies.". Wednesday, September 12, 2012. This broccoli was harvested from our garden. It is so exciting to be starting to eat food regularly from our vege patch. We have more broccoli growing and nearly ready to eat. It actually looks overgrown, but it's just full of food, and 'almost' food. There are tomatoes beginning to flower. Fresh iceberg lettuce straight from the garden tastes amazing! My parsley has recovered after it was nearly demolished by the possum. I wear many h...

Time's fun when you're having flies.". Thursday, July 26, 2012. Apple tea cake - gluten free. This is not a pretty cake, but it is very moist and delicious. I used my thermomix to mix this cake, but you could use a food processor. GLUTEN FREE APPLE TEA CAKE. 190g gluten free flour [110g rice, 50g cornflour, 30g tapioca]. 2 teaspoons gluten free baking powder [I make my own from baking soda and cream of tartar]. 4 medium apples, cored and cut into 8 pieces. Cinnamon and caster sugar. Bake for 30 minutes.

Time's fun when you're having flies.". Sunday, April 29, 2012. Recently I received a lot of help from some dear friends and family.

Time's fun when you're having flies.". Friday, June 29, 2012. Ideas for school holiday fun. It is the winter school holiday/break now in Queensland. Two [or three] weeks of no school. I am definitely going to use some of the 75 ideas from this blog. To keep the girls amused and have some fun with them. I've also been collecting ideas on pinterest. For us to do together. Usually I choose a few favourites, show the girls, and then they come up with a list of 10-15 activities they want to do too. I have a f...

ikat bag: Fleur Deconstructed Part 1 - plus a giveaway!
http://www.ikatbag.com/2011/08/fleur-deconstructed-part-1-plus.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. Fleur Deconstructed Part 1 - plus a giveaway! Today we will deconstruct Fleur, the mannequin. First let me say that this is not. A tutorial. It's merely a collection of my production notes. Lots of photos and tips but skimpy on the step-by-steps. Second, let me clarify that this is a custom-fit. Mannequin/dress form. It was made to my exact body dimensions. There was a lot of measuring that needed to happen, and be matched with, and checked, and double-checked. How stiff is the t...

Time's fun when you're having flies.". Monday, June 27, 2011. It's slow-going in my sewing room lately. Partly because our house has been full of flu and other illness for longer than I can recall now, and partly because it takes a LONG time to build flatpack furniture when you have 'help' from a 22 month old and a 4 year old! Saturday, June 25, 2011. I'm hoping this will improve my seed germination rate significantly. I guess I'll keep you posted as to my degree of success. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. I am ...

Time's fun when you're having flies.". Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Princess, Princess Book Week Costume. The second Book Week costume I made last week was for Miss 6, who decided to be the princess from Princess, Princess. Sunday, August 28, 2011. It came together very quickly, so to finish off I found an extra large black button and hot-glued the letters E and J to the front, then I attached it as a buckle. I think it was my favourite costume ever. taking me less than an hour! Monday, August 22, 2011.
