2014 in review…

by Bette_H, in category Musings

2014 was a year of ups and downs.  Regardless, it was an amazing year.  One that I am pleased that I lived through, but would not want to repeat. In October 2013 my home of 8 years was put on the market.  At the time, houses in our area were selling within 2 or 3… Read More

On the second day of Christmas…

My poor pooches.  It had been so long since they had a groom, that my Maltese/Shitzu cross could have passed as an extra in Return of the Jedi as an Ewok!  Amazing what several hours at Berwick Paws has achieved! And they were both dressed ready to party! (PS.  I had this post all but… Read More

Today I gave myself the day to enjoy.  To play.  I spent the morning with some of the wonderful Melbourne Casketeers.  We are part of a world wide group of needleworkers striving to reach the pinnacle of a needleworker – create… Read More

Now you see it…

by Bette_H, in category Musings

In November I stated that one of my goals was to remove the bar from the front room. I kind of cheated with this goal, as I had already booked the handyman to do the task. But it was not just about getting the bar out, it was also about getting rid of the thing…… Read More

by Bette_H, in category Musings

It has been a really crazy month or 6 weeks around here!  This time of year is always busy, and 2014 was no different.  It started with the Year 12 Graduation in late November… Followed only days later by the Year 8 camp… And in the meantime, there were reports to be written… And my… Read More

by Bette_H, in category Uncategorized

The past 2 years have been full of ups and downs.  There have been some fairly major changes, and a lot of minor ones.  I have been on an amazing journey.  And I have had to really consider the paths I want to take. I know that for my children, I need to continue to… Read More

by Bette_H, in category Musings

Term 3 is rapidly coming to an end, and I am busy thinking of all the projects that need to be completed over the next 2 weeks. The first, and most important project is to try to catch up on some lost sleep!  I have always found term 3 to be really tiring, and even… Read More

Moody Wednesday

by Bette_H, in category Musings

Over the past few years I have found myself in a creative void.  I want to stitch, but I can’t seem to find the energy. I want to sew, but the get up and go to do it just isn’t there.  I want to redesign my website, but I have no idea of what I… Read More

Birthdays and Parties

by Bette_H, in category Family Time

It has been a long time since I gave any of my children a birthday party.  For the past few years it has been really difficult to find a time when I can give my girls parties, as their birthdays fall in the middle of the Calisthenics comp season.  But this year, I have one less… Read More
