craft swap update

ok the craft swap is coming along swimmingly!
you need to make one medium sized craft item to send to your swap partner. it can be anything that you like, enjoy making etc etc.
ive decided that our first theme will be 'RETRO', so interpret as you wish!
so far we have on board linda from lulufroufrou,
tania from chickenink,
mel from mel makes pretty,
im extending the sign up date to the 17th march and send out date still sits at 31st march.
if you would like to sign up, send me an email to littlewiseowl@live.com.au, with your postal address and ill start hooking swap partners up. ;)
AND jaqueline from zippy zippy,
and narelle from at the bench with narelle
also caryn over at smooch designs

lets share some crafty love!

ok so this is what im thinking!
i love getting fun things in the mail, and i love making fun things for other people. i figure there are a few other people out there who share this love, so my thought was to have a monthly craft swap! people sign up for the given month via this blog, i swap all the names around and contact you with your 'swap partner' and voila! craftly love all over the country!
i was thinking one medium craft item per swap, and maybe a theme for each swap! oooh exciting!
so whos in for march?? send out date is last day of the month (march 31st) and lets say cut off date to sign up is.......14th march.
cool, now to think of a theme......any suggestions?
and sorry, i should have added the swap was for completed items. ;)

calling all melbourne madeit sellers!

yesterday i caught up with the ever lovely and wonderful girlies linda, and tania from lulufroufrou, and chicken ink. we had such fun that we thought we should have a bigger better get together with even more crafty madeit peeps! so if your around melbourne, or can get to melbourne, i think we are working on the week beg 5th april, but head over to tanias facebook page to keep updated on all the catch up goss!
wooo, this will be fun!

the epiphany....

i have decided to stop dying my hair.
being one who has dyed their hair every colour under the sun (i kid you not, i distinctly remember a bleached blonde and aqua green dredded stage) for the past 15 years this isnt a decision i have taken lightly.
ok, well it is, i literally woke up the other day and thought 'you know what would be fun?.... letting all those greys shine though!'
so here begins the somewhat awkward process.
i have ALOT of grey hair, and coming up to 30 this year i figure i should be able to pull it off for a while.
you see, i really dislike my natural hair colour, at the moment im dying it a auburn red with black fringe, but with all the grey, theres not much of that colour i despise so much.
so here goes nothing, come along with me its going to be a wild ride!

vintage love

oh macrame, why did you go out of fashion?

thats 'mrs wee wee feet' to you!

i love toilet training! its the bane of my existence!
yesterday whilst sewing happily, minding my own business, i heard the rather worrying sound of liquid falling from a height!
i rushed to the loungeroom to see what roy was trying to 'wash', only to find him at his potty standing up to wee. i moved in to congratulate him on a job well done when he turned to see me, weeing apparatus in hand and proceeded to wee all over my foot whilst giggling excitedly!
after the cleanup i resumed my sewing only to have roy come in every 30 seconds to point and proclaim "mamas got wee wee feet!" and run away with the same excited giggle.
ah kids! oh to have their lifestyle!
so we are making gingerbread men today, straight from the maisy mouse almanac of cookery. im sure it wont just be gingerbread men, probably bears, aeroplanes, tractors, dinosaurs and anything else that takes roys fancy.
till next time,
peace!
