And Now............more and more!

Having no car has made it very easy to fall into a pattern of creativeness that has lasted a week long. In between Xmas shopping and the usual chores of being a mum. I can say I feel much like a chook who has been scratching around her nest all week. I thought you only nested when you were pregnant, and no I am not and will not again go there. Two boys is definitely where I draw the line!

However on that note the boys have been impressively good. Kaya is now sleeping through, waking only for a drink early morning and then dozing again. Jax is wrapped to have a little brother sharing his room and even stays in his own bed now!
We have been working on the boys room, they have to share at least until the renovation is built. Jay built a lovely wardrobe in there that is made from recycled hardwood. Came up beautiful once put through the thickniser. I have been painting red accessories to match their doona covers.Not to mention their funky cushions I made. The boys finally have a theme to their room and a sense of boyish identity.Speaking of cushions I finished making the cushions I am giving my nieces and nephews for Xmas. I have even wrapped them! I am trying to be organised as there are only 2 weeks till Kaya's 1st Birthday party! I will also be doing a lot of the single parenting thing in the next few weeks as Jay has to work away on a building project.Quietly trying not to think about it all. I have kept myself busy to distract, I guess.

I bought this gorgeous paper from a local lady a couple of weeks back.( I must add that I stocked up on it and have a massive supply now....maybe a little too massive!)It has been great to make invites and Xmas cards and birthday cards. I am even going to make little tags with the boys pictures on for our Xmas tree. It's great stuff if anyone is interested I can give you her number. I think she does the convent market at Abbotsford and Yarra Glen market as well.

Santa is finished and on the wall at our house. I think he turned out alright. He will be staying inside though as I am worried he might get ruined outside in the weather. Kaya is a little uncertain about him.We are all however anticipating the arrival of our Xmas tree next week and will be preparing with lots of decoration making this week.As always lots to do.On a lighter note to finish my post this week. i went to see Priscilla the musical this week. All I can say is wooooooooooooooooow! It was amazing, costumes where unbelievable, singing fantastic, audience interaction superb and dancing just spectacular! If anyone has seen it they will know what I mean when I mention the ping pong bit! As in the movie they explore Bob's wife's talented ping pong show! If you get a chance to see it please do as it was such a great experience and the best bit is it's all Australian as it is adapted from the Australian made movie.

Oh and before I leave to do more fun creative things on this hot and sunny day, I would like to say thank you to the lovely blogger's who have been leaving comments and making me feel soooooooo welcome.Thank you!
