Friends and Food

There's been a few times I've gone to blog about something and wished I had have taken a photo of the event I'm writing about. I am a visual person and appreciate the way that images speak clearly and concisely. Anyhow the picture I'd have taken would have been situated in our kitchen/family/dining area. I'm not sure which image would have best somed up the atmosphere or have been the best overall representative of tonight. Perhaps the kids sitting at their small table and chairs enjoying sucking up some noodles, or perhaps a plethora of kids sitting on the rug each trying to add their peg to the tower, being guided and cohersed to co-operate and take turns. One image would surely have had to have hinted at the delicious food shared. The theme of the night was 'tappas' each couple/family bought along a dish to share and it was a celebration of friends and food and for those not pregnant or breastfeeding a wine or beer or two or three!!!
I had a great night, thanks everyone.

I've been busy making more hairclips for the upcoming 'Oxley Bush Market' and upcycling some old jeans into groovy boys shorts. Our kitchen bench has never looked so messy!!

I received a big parcel in the post today and was ecstatic to find it full of gorgeous doilies. My mind is going overtime wondering how I will incorporate them into some cute girls dresses. Thank you very much Gayle!

Wallace and Grommit

Over the last 7 months, our little girl has had 8 ear infections. Worried that the infections would lead to hearing loss we requested a referral to an Ear Nose Throat Specialist who suggested grommets as the most successfull solution. It was only a 20 minute procedure, but due to pre admission check ups and waiting it was a long day for Mim, added to that, she wasn't able to eat from 7am in the morning and didn't go in for the procedure until 1.30pm. Grommets are about the size of a match head they are a tiny little tube that is inserted into the middle ear to allow it to drain. We're crossing our fingers that she won't get any more infections!
