Remember the movie? Those cute little critters that turned into nasty creatures? Well, maybe nasty is not the word for it, but Gremlins really hit this blog big time in the first couple of weeks of the year! Late in December I decided to do my 31 Days of WIPs and UFOs again in January… Read More
It has been some time since I have written a Making Me Happy post. Not because I have had nothing to write, but because I keep forgetting to write on a Sunday, or have so much going on, I run out of time to write. Over the last few months I have had lots of… Read More
Going to work this morning was relatively easy. The roads were quieter than usual. This weekend is a long weekend, and many are going away. There is the annual Winery Walkabout in North East Victoria, the snow season starts, and many just take off for the weekend. For me, this weekend signals the end of… Read More
Today we remember. For it is 100 years ago today that ANZACs invaded the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey. Today we honour all Australians and New Zealanders who have followed in the footsteps of these brave men and boys (the youngest to die in Gallipoli was only 14!).

Yesterday I left off at June. Today we start with July. Arriving back from camp on the 1st of July, we entered the school holidays. One night the children and I had a wonderful movie night… Then in August we celebrated my little girl’s birthday. September saw my son participate in our school’s Presentation Balls.… Read More
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
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
