My Frayed Ends Of Sanity

GASP!

2011-11-16T18:34:00.001+10:00

It's been a while ... not entirely happy with this one but with the uber beauty of my Niece I really can't go wrong!

Soooo did I actually end up cleaning that messy room....???

... Of course not, I just found myself a little cosy patch on the floor! :D

On the 'To Do' list

2011-11-14T10:23:00.001+10:00

I really need to get in and clean this room up so that I can get into making schtuff! But it is just so easy to shut the door and pretend the mess isn't there! I believe a mess is a sign that you are having fun .... so much fun had in here! =D

Its no wonder I can never find what I'm looking for and always forget what I already have!

Apparently gentlemen prefer them?

2011-10-10T13:40:00.000+10:00

Another chick! I had to use soft pastels for her hair as my pen collection is still quite limited. I now know that I prefer to do a more animated style, as it is a lot easier!

Don't look too close!

2011-10-05T13:32:00.000+10:00

I'm Officially Copic addicted!!! She looks OK if you don't look too closely!!! Wishin' I put the knife in the foreground. Live and learn I guess!

Maybe I should name her?????

Should I be Scrappin?

2011-09-06T12:06:00.000+10:00

Ummmm Yeah! ..... I am totally aware of the many boxes of scrap .... junk that is accumulating in my wee little craft room, but having a drawing and some pens on the go is so much simpler. I can have a bit of a colour on the kitchen bench while making dinner or in front of the Telly at night. Scrappin will just have to wait until that bug hits again!
This is my first attempt at using the skin tone Copics. She is obviously very Manga/anime inspired. I am not very good at faces so I think that will be what I should work on next, I'm also not happy with the boots but I only have one shade of black pen!
I have also used Soft Pastels and Souffle pens!

That little thing called ...

2011-08-31T11:20:00.000+10:00

LIFE!!!!!!!! Getting in the way again when i should be making stuff!
Here is another doodle anyway, as you can see I got me some new Copic yummies to play with....

It is what it is ..... (I have no idea what it is)

My Little Doodle!

2011-06-28T15:41:00.000+10:00

Playing with copic markers ... I think things are gunna get expensive as these babies are so yummy to work with. I only have these few colours at the moment and I haven't got the right paper yet but I am surprised with this freehanded first attempt. I did a butterfly because I find them very forgiving to draw. ... and i realize I forgot his little antennae, :-( poor little guy!

Ah - Ah - Arrrr - Chew !!!!

2011-06-20T13:48:00.000+10:00

Whoops - sticker sneeze!

Fail .............
At least my boys look cute in the pix!

Keeping busy!

2011-06-07T13:18:00.000+10:00

Still not quite over playing with the feminine stuff.
Amber again ............

She really is ...

2011-05-23T12:50:00.000+10:00

Oh so .... LOVELY !!!!!!!!!!!!

My Niece Tyler, older Sister to the other sweet cutie in the previous post!

Into the Girly stuff

2011-05-17T13:06:00.000+10:00

My Niece Amber

..... and a close up, because that seems to be what all the kewl kidz are doing! ;p

Seriously!

2011-05-11T12:37:00.001+10:00

Baby-Boy-Kranky-Pants..?
Heath had a big day running and playing at Aunty Sha-Sha and Uncle Marks 20th wedding anniversary, so he was just slightly buggered when I had taken this pic.

Just a card ....

2011-05-09T12:20:00.000+10:00

For my Mum!

Never a dull moment

2011-05-03T15:29:00.003+10:00

Brock loves to make these faces when I point a camera at him these days, if I want a nice photo I usually have to bribe him with X-Box privileges (cheeky boy). At least he doesn't get angry or refuse to have his picture taken at all ... I am grateful for that!

Here 'tis

2011-04-28T16:52:00.000+10:00

Finally got a chance to edit these pix, they are not the best but I had already given this as a gift when I realized that i had forgotten to photograph them ...DOH! I wish I had a chance to redo the small canvases and made them a bit brighter, but Kiera seemed to like them anyway!

I would like to also add some kind of wooden scrolls to the other two corners, but this should look OK for now once it is hung above her bed.

Just the start

2011-04-27T10:40:00.000+10:00

These 4 digi LO's were the start of something bigger for my Niece Kiera's birthday. They were all transferred to small canvasses with one larger framed canvas. I will upload the finished project when i get a chance!

I think almost all brushes and elements used are by Rhonna Farrer.

It's a good life .......

2011-04-12T11:48:00.000+10:00

.... Being a little Boy!

fO sHamE

2011-04-06T11:39:00.001+10:00

I think these kinds of lo's are obligatory for scrapbooking Mums, I can't wait for his 18th or 21st to drag these babies out. Oh! What fun it shall be!!!!!!!!!!!

He did look mega cute and oh so proud in his 2 sizes too big uniform though!

sAahH -wEeeT!

2011-03-29T13:23:00.002+10:00

Yep! My Valentine flowers were so spesh that they deserved their own LO.

I made the small envelope to hold the card that came with them.

shA-wiZzLe!

2011-03-28T12:50:00.002+10:00

sHa-wINg!

2011-03-24T13:41:00.003+10:00

Yeeeep! Still hopeless at titles.

A LO from Amber's 5th birthday.....

wHaK!

2011-03-18T14:05:00.002+10:00

The gorgeous Eli!

wHapP!

2011-03-16T13:04:00.003+10:00

Another lo from Brocks 5th birthday ... he loves the Ben 10 Omnitrix that his Gran and Poppy got for him!!!

KaPow!

2011-03-13T15:02:00.001+10:00

A LO from Brocks 5th birthday last August.

Our BIG littlest Boy!

2011-03-11T12:01:00.006+10:00

Heath turned 2 on Wednesday. He celebrated the Sunday before by sharing cake and pressies with his cousins. Then on the 9th he opened more presents and in keeping with his Twaaaain obsession atm, he got the Chuggington train set.

BoOm!

2011-03-07T10:37:00.002+10:00

A quick card I did for Dad's birthday last week. I used the same idea as the LO in the post bellow along with some of the leftover scraps from it!

sHaZzaM...!

2011-02-17T13:35:00.002+10:00

A LO:

I blame the heat

2011-02-08T13:27:00.003+10:00

My little craft room can get quite hot in this weather, so I will just blame that for my complete lack of creativity lately .... but I could just easily turn the air-con on, so I honestly don't have any excuse really.
Not happy at all with how the title turned out in this one .... the 'F' is a bit "F..ed and the font is all wrong! Better luck next time! eh!

A Huntin' We Did Go ....

2010-12-22T16:15:00.011+10:00

And some light we did find. Well a crap load of light actually. We Went to This House again this year cause it is sooooo good and it's only 10mins away! Brock was upset again this year as we didn't want to stand around in the long line for him to have a ride on the train.
He is also at the age where it is just not cool to pose for happy snaps for your daggy mother. :(

Mark and Heath are in the background (right) of this one, apparently they don't think it is cool to pose for my photos either. :(

And this is a foam machine with laser lights through it. You come out looking snowed on.

DOH!

2010-12-21T14:42:00.007+10:00

This was the result of Brocks idea for this years Chrissy cards.

Now he has greater empathy for how frustrating it is to work with uncooperative children!

Woooo - Hoooo!

2010-12-14T15:43:00.002+10:00

2010 Chrissy cards are finally done and gone-ski! So with not much else other those on the go lately I have nothing crafty to share. (sad face) ... but here is one pic of the many that were taken for this years cards.
Although it is sooooo cute .... (as everything involving my boys is *wink) .... it just didn't make the cut!

Just do it!

2010-11-24T15:02:00.003+10:00

I have a bad habit of stressing over LO's for sometimes days (and months) at a time, worrying over every little detail. So lately in an attempt to reduce my ever growing stash I have taken on the ''just stick the damn thing down" approach! If it works - great, if it doesn't - who cares really. I think it has been working for me so far... This LO came about because I just wanted to use that chipboard filigree thingo - I love it when something just comes together without a plan and kind of surprises you, that is what makes craft fun for me!!!

Favourite time of day

2010-11-15T09:54:00.004+10:00

Hair disheveled, eyes wide and bright, face expressionless, skin milky and smoochable, a little clumsy and groggy, quietly contemplative, calm, beautiful ...
.... Heath has just woken from his afternoon nap .....

Canvas luvin

2010-11-12T15:59:00.016+10:00

I LURVE doing these canvases - I HATE doing the frames as there is too much measuring involved and i Hate maths ... and there is too much power tool usage needed, I have a bit of a power tool phobia that comes with being a bit clumsy by nature.

The individual canvases measure 15cm x 15cm.

The middle bit is painted Fimo clay with pearls to hide the crappy join - I really do suck at maths and wood work!

This little heart under my name was a gift from Brock, he found it at daycare and kept it safe all day to give to me. I included it here because it is so special and I didn't want to loose it.

Damask

2010-11-08T10:47:00.002+10:00

Another among my fave things atm is damask, just cant get enough of ém. Fee handed this one in the background then black kindy glitzed it.

Totally ....

2010-10-15T11:30:00.004+10:00

Beautiful ...!

Rainy Day Blues

2010-10-13T14:53:00.004+10:00

A good cure for this depressingly dull weather -
just go mega freakin' bright.

I do love this weather though, I'm just having a little trouble adjusting to being caged up with two very active little boys. At least this house doesn't flood like our previous house, but does get a bit sloshy and muddy outside witch doesn't combine well with my dirt phobia!

Colour Me Happy

2010-10-08T12:53:00.016+10:00

I can never get enough of Pink and Black!

.... and flourishes .... can never have too many flourishes!

This is a large canvas btw!

The Candles Lie

2010-10-04T13:48:00.009+10:00

Two of my Gorgeous Nephews celebrated their Birthdays on the First of this month.
Brock and Heath helped me make Cupcakes to share with Ethan, who did not turn 4 as the candles suggest. He is a much more (ahem) mature 11 ...!

Then we celebrated on Saturday with this little hunk of sweetness. Although he is quite advanced, Eli did not turn 6 as the candles suggest. He is now a big 2 ...!

How C-U-T-E is he here?

One Down ....

2010-09-27T11:10:00.003+10:00

... And about a hundred more to go! That is the feeling I get every time I finish a LO!
This one did satisfy me though, witch is always a good feeling!

He is my Boooooootiful!

On a rainy day ......

2010-09-21T10:35:00.003+10:00

What could be better than a little PS play!

Not entirely happy with how they turned out, but I'm still learning!
A clearer original would have been better but wondering around outside in the wet with my camera a two mischievous little people in tow doesn't seam like a good idea.

I think I better get something a little more constructive done now!

For My Farrrr-zarrrrrr...

2010-09-20T12:49:00.002+10:00

^^^^ Obviously I couldn't think of a title AGAIN!
This was just a card for Fathers day a few weeks ago.
I do have a few creative things on the go atm and I will take photos if I ever finish any of them!!
But for now this will just have to suffice!

A Wittle Sumptin ....

2010-09-15T15:24:00.003+10:00

Because

2010-08-20T11:23:00.008+10:00

.... Because he is so beautiful and because I feel this blog needs some kind of update!

This photo was taken last Summer - it is a bit too chilly to be letting him run round the back yard all wet and starkers lately ... although if he had his way I think that is exactly how he would like to spend all his days!

Dats ma boi!

OH so Girly!

2010-06-29T12:46:00.009+10:00

Another little something for the bare walls using that transfer technique. I went a bit overboard on the feminine stuff here (I just can't help myself) so I'm thinking this one is going to have to be hidden away in my craft room as I really don't think this is quite to Marks taste. :-D

2010-06-28T13:22:00.003+10:00

It's not a matter of there being nothing creative happening around here, It is just a matter of me being too lazy to blog about it! :-)

Self portrait

2010-06-21T13:15:00.005+10:00

I spent a gorgeous sunny Sunday afternoon trying to get some shots of my boys happily playing in the back yard. Heath still has a camera obsession and just screams and cries if I don't share it with him. So after he had his usual tantrum and stole my sunnies and threw them on the ground I found that this was the only thing to take a photo of that was actually willing to cooperate with me.

Until he realized that I was having a bit too much fun doing that without him too!

Sooooo.....

2010-06-16T13:57:00.008+10:00

I have done an experiment that actually turned out OK!
I am pretty tired of looking at all the blank walls around the house, I have so many ideas of what I want to hang on them but the shops are just not producing what my head is imagining! I confess that it has been quite a few years since I had done a canvas and the old dark moody tattoo inspired ones produced in my teens just aren't doin 'it for me anymore.
While working on a much larger one I thought I would give an old transfer technique a go. So I dug out these 6 little canvases that i have had stashed away for years and wouldn't ya know ..... it bloody worked!!!! I loved them so much I even made the frame all by myself (well Heath did help a bit) It is not perfect by any means but I'll just label it shabby chic and that will make it acceptable ;-) . I also used a metallic paint so in the right light they really shine. Now I have so many ideas I can't wait to start some more!

Butterfly images from internet and flourishes by Rhonna Farrer.

Hmmmmm!

2010-06-02T11:45:00.002+10:00

I think I have a photo of Amber hoeing into a cake like this at almost every birthday party! .... I wonder if she stops to take a breath!

Better late than never!

2010-05-25T11:59:00.002+10:00

This is the card I made for my Mother for Mothers Day a few weeks ago .... a little late, but she was off gallivanting across the countryside doing the whole 'gray nomad ' thang at the time.

So Growed-up!

2010-05-17T14:13:00.005+10:00

This is my big boy ready for his first day at 'school' (day care) a few weeks ago, he has grown so much in the last year. He has grown out of most of last years winter clothes - even though i do try and buy all his clothes a couple of sizes too big ..... it is sad that he is growing so fast and becoming more independent, he really isn't my little baby any more .... he is an adventurous, imaginative, inquisitive, talkative and very active boy and I couldn't be prouder!

... and BOISTEROUS - very, very ..... BOISTEROUS.

.... and the massive bag only has a small cot sheet for 'rest time' and a change of clothes but displaying your superhero appreciation is of the utmost importance dontcha know.

This Face ......

2010-05-10T11:44:00.004+10:00

..... Lights up my heart.

I Love being a Mum!

Trying to get it right

2010-05-08T19:54:00.002+10:00

I really dislike using the full auto function on my camera and avoid using the flash if I can but somehow when taking pics of my gorgeous blond boys in low light they come out looking like little ginger ninjas. Don't get me wrong I loooove red heads but I am so proud of having my blond beauties as I think they are they only ones this fair in my immediate family - we are all brunettes .... DOH! ......I think I just let my secret out ........ my hair is natural I swear!!!!!!!!

Good Grief!

2010-05-07T13:25:00.007+10:00

Please excuse the tired eyes, double chins and complete lack of enthusiasm for having my photo taken at 5am after no sleep and hours of labour (was also still sky high on gas and pethidine). I Photoshoped the dickens out of this photo and I still cringe when I look at it - why didn't I smile for goodness sake? ... A little exhausted maybe or my face was just totally numb - probably both! :-)

I don't do lo's of myself much, it does feel a bit weird looking at images your own mug while trying to create something worth looking at! But I had done a similar LO for Brocks album and felt I should have one in Heaths album as well.

Ho Hum!

2010-05-02T23:00:00.001+10:00

Kiera and Eli .........

Totally Blank

2010-04-30T13:43:00.002+10:00

When it comes to writing something witty and interesting I draw a complete blank!
Good grief, my life isn't THAT boring ........ Well maybe it is a little!
From what i can tell, i have about maybe 3 or 4 people who sometimes read this. So to you gorgeous people much luv and thanx.
Here is a picture - looooove this boy!

Giving it a go

2010-04-27T15:07:00.009+10:00

I thought i would give making my own PS brushes a go and that somehow turned into designing this digi paper. Unashamedly very Prima/Websters inspired. .... very rough but I thinks I likes it!

And here it is in a quick LO with the gorgeous Miss T.

I also have a few LOs finished but just too lazy to go and photograph/edit them atm. :-)

Uuummmmm!

2010-04-06T14:34:00.003+10:00

A LO;

Just because .....

Chocolate Bunny Poo!

2010-04-05T14:01:00.021+10:00

A LO First. I did a Digi of these photos a while ago but I wanted to do a LO that i could put in Brocks album. The colours in this one were quite dificult to match up, if I had too much orange it realy made Brock look like a red head. I am happy with how it turned out though!

Mark went a little overboard on the eggs yesterday (he always does) we started out collecting them in the usual basket but ended up having to transfer them all to the tonka truck! ..... I have had to put it all out of reach of the boys so now it is making a lovely center piece on the dining room table! Final Tally; 70 medium, 1 large, 1 extra large and 6 bunny's!

Her Sweet Face Is ......

2010-03-27T13:52:00.001+10:00

....... Magic.

Little Miss personality lights up a room with her cheeky smile!

3 for 3

2010-03-24T14:08:00.002+10:00

.... And no housework/parenting chores neglected! CHUFFED! :-)

Chillin'

2010-03-23T13:34:00.003+10:00

That was the other alternative for a title to this lo.

Off to try and start another one while Chubba-Chops is napping.
I think I have enough ideas for a LO a day atm. But unfortunately I know the monotony everyday chores will get in the way of that happening. :-)

On A Roll

2010-03-22T12:51:00.004+10:00

I have soooooo many ideas in my head right now!
I think this one turned out a bit 'busy' for my liking, but it was a great way to use up some scraps!

Record?

2010-03-19T11:09:00.010+10:00

Three Lay-Outs in one week .... I think that must be some kind of record for me!

Ummmmmm! ..... I have nothing else to say! :-)

over

out.

Tween Queen?

2010-03-15T11:39:00.004+10:00

More like a total Princess.
My Niece and God-Daughter Kiera;

I find doing feminine LOs so much easier ..... I guess that is just my inner Princess coming out!

Heath is Number One!

2010-03-10T13:07:00.017+10:00

Some images from Heaths little Cake Cutting Ceremony on Saturday.

Eli ....

.....And a LO!

Whatever floats his boat

2010-02-22T11:19:00.005+10:00

Just another of the many uses of TP!
After shredding, it is a good idea to stomp all over TP until it sticks to the bottom of ones feet then proceed to run all over the house with TP trailing behind and squeeling with the sheer joy of it all.

N.B (this same procedure can also be substituted with junk mail catalogues - it is even easier to get them to stick to ones feet)
NOT a good idea to eat TP or catalogues .......... Nuf said!

I mean Heath of course!

Smooches

2010-02-04T17:43:00.007+10:00

This is Heath giving Brock and I kisses through the front window. He was seriously cracking us up!

I never have clean windows for very long anymore ...... just like the floors, the walls, the cupboards etc. ...... Oh the joys of little boys! (but I wouldn't have it any other way)

Australia ....

2010-01-27T21:40:00.013+10:00

....... In our own back yard.
On such a stinking hot day there was also much time spent in the pool - but my camera isn't waterproof!

Every afternoon for about an half an hour a large group of these very noisy birds play in the large gum tree at the back of our house, it is so lovely to watch them!

Little Rascal

2010-01-25T16:34:00.004+10:00

Our 10mth old adventure boy got into my scrap supplies. He had a blast but a lot of my stuff came out a little bruised and battered. The chipboard title in this lo was ripped apart and the photo was in the process of being eaten. Heath has a bad compulsion to put EVERYTHING in his mouth - a problem that I never had with Brock! Anyway I think I have managed to cover up most of the damage and now my scrap room door is to remain shut at all times :-)

A Little Sample

2010-01-21T16:32:00.009+10:00

Some of the beauty on display around our garden.

Meh!

2010-01-17T11:23:00.007+10:00

Not completely happy with these two but they will just have to do for now!

(not sure why everything is being underlined either)

This Boy

2010-01-05T12:38:00.004+10:00

His skin is so smooth and milky, his eyes are so bright with life, his chubby little body is so soft to touch and his laughter has a gorgeous high pitched squeal ...... i could just eat him up.

I have managed to curb Heaths biting lately with a very stern 'NO' when he is about to do it. It is very cute how he now smiles and shakes his head when you say NO! Although he did manage to sink his chompers into Brock the other day while he was sleeping on the floor, Brock was screaming in pain and while the teeth marks have since faded he is still sporting a faint bruise on his left cheek. Now i just have to figure out how to deter Heath from sticking his fingers up my nose while I am feeding him, although it is not as painful as the biting it is equally annoying! ;-)

While the cat's away ....

2010-01-03T12:36:00.003+10:00

Hopefully I will get a few more of these done!

I guess you could say that Heath is officially walking now, he took his first unaided steps a while ago and is now quite confident although he is lucky that his little tushie is well padded as that is usually where he ends up after a few steps. He is so eager to try and keep up with Brock - too cute!

Merry ...... Boxing Day!

2009-12-26T18:13:00.002+10:00

This one made this years X-mas cards!

The countdown is on

2009-12-21T14:31:00.002+10:00

While sitting here with a 9mth old asleep on my lap I thought I might post one of the photos that didn't make the cut for this years Chrissy cards.

Not Close Enough

A Macro lens would be sah-weeeeet .... but the one I want cost more than my camera. I shall just add it too the list and these will have to do for now!

Delightful

That is the word that describes Heath so well, he is such a happy and contented little guy. Unfortunately he also bites ..... HARD! He has four gorgeous little pearly whites and is not afraid to use them on anything, including people. He is malicious little cherub and a pure DELIGHT.

I love seeing catch-lights in eyes in photographs so i thought i would practice capturing them myself a bit. This little guy has a slight camera strap obsession and as i try and move away from him he just keeps moving forward hence the extreme close-up. Here is the same pic with different actions added.

Who needs titles anyway?

2009-11-12T10:17:00.002+10:00

I couldn't seem to fit a title in this LO so it can just go without. The photo of this LO is blurred because my SD card has crapped itself and i am having to use a much smaller card that only holds about 3 photos at a time and with the boy in the LO asleep on my lap atm ........ this pic will have to do!

A Late Entry

This double LO was a little late for a comp but here it is anyway.

That is all.

No Time

Baby sleeping, soooo many things to get done - including more LOs

Here is one:

Heath is on his way

2009-10-21T13:51:00.004+10:00

As of Thursday night, 15-10-09, Heath is officially on the move. He had been attempting to crawl for some time, but now he has mastered it and there seems to be no stopping him. The trick is now to not trip over him because he is getting very quick and is always at my feet! Brock is loving Heaths new found independence and encourages Heath to follow him like a puppy...! Heaths top left front tooth finally broke through on Saturday also, now we are just waiting on the top right one as we can see that it is ready to pop too!

I finished a LO today too:

Pretty simple but that is all I got time for lately!

A 'Shabby' LO

2009-10-14T12:20:00.006+10:00

This LO is an entry for a challenge at Challenge Chics and the theme is Shabby Chic! I had a hard time photographing this one as almost everything on it is reflective - still not happy with how the pic turned out.

I also had a go at those close-up pix that you see on other blogs - I'm happy with how they turned out!

The fast way of catching up .....

2009-10-12T14:36:00.002+10:00

Go Digi!

Simple and Quick

2009-10-12T12:31:00.004+10:00

That is what these LO's are - I have sooooo many photos to get through!

Eli's 1st Birthday

2009-10-06T12:43:00.009+10:00

Here are just a few of my fave pix from Eli's party.

Just another LO

2009-10-05T16:23:00.002+10:00

Two of my Nephews celebrated their birthdays on the 1st of this month. Ethan turned 10 and Eli is now 1 yr old. I have quite a few pix from Eli's party on Sunday morning and I will hopefully get some time to sort through them in the next couple of days and post some up here. Till then here is another LO.

A Little Game ......

Of spot the difference!

His father can also be found like this in the wee hours of the morning!

My McDreamy

2009-09-23T11:37:00.003+10:00

Heath got his 6mth needles yesterday and weighed in at 10.2kg ..... He is a whole lotta baby to love!
He also now has two itty-bitty-little white dots that will soon grow to be his bottom front teeth. So CUTE!

How lucky am I?

2009-09-16T17:25:00.003+10:00

I get to look into these 2 gorgeous faces every day ...... Life is good.
