Off on an Adventure

We had a lovely morning out - we jumped in the car for "an adventure" with no particular destination in mind.  First stop was to see the SS Trobruk, then to the Port to see the boats.

From there we went to Mon Repos.  We looked around the Turtle Discovery Centre, then went for a walk around the boardwalk down to the beach.

DIY Project

I brought this wine box (??) at the op shop for $1 with the plan to repair and revamp it for storage in my scrap room.   Today was project day :)  I box was only stapled together so I reinforced it with nails.  Then I nailed the bottim back on.

I gave the box a coat of primer and marked out where to attach the decorative knob (this was left over from when I did up the chest of drawers).  Then I attached the knob.

A few coats of spray paint and it is finisbed!

Everyday Moments

Clay has been missing our craft days, so we set the easel up on the verandah for some painting - he was so excited :)

While I'm waiting to get medical clearance to go back to work I have been spring cleaning and decluttering the house.  While cleaning out the freezer I found our wedding cake toppers.  Think I will get a cake made and use the toppers, to celebrate our 20th wessing anniversary next year.

I had a little helper in the kitchen while I was cooking dinner :)

Since having my spinal surgery I have improved so much and achieved so many goals.  I celebrated a big goal...to take Clay for his swimming lesson - I did it with no issues and he loved having mummy in the pool!!  I love the look on Clay's face ❤

I've started sorting embellishments into my new craft cart.

A lazy Sunday afternoon spent working on some galaxy card backgrounds.  My little offsider had to do some painting too :)

Time for a Change

I've been talking about getting my hair cut / styled for months and today was THE day!  I wanted to celebrate all the improvements and goals I had been achieving and thought a new hairstyle for a new me.  I had a few stylwd pinned on Pinterest and after a chat with my hairdresser went with my original choice.  Its veen awhile since I've been this short, but very happy with it :)

Thought my new 'do needed a new colour - especially to hide those grey hairs that have been popping up!!

Pizza at the Beach

We spent a lovely afternoon catching up with Craig's family.  Everyone had a swim before we got there, but that didn't stop Clay from hopping in fully clothed! LOL  We chatted and enjoyed the gorgeous sunset while eating pizza.  

Thrifty Thursday

Mum was op shppping on Monday morning and sent me a text asking if I wanted this handbag for $5.  I missed the message and she went to another op shop.  Once I saw it I called her straight away and she went back and brought it :)  The bag is in new condition- I don't think it was even used!

Yesterday Mum, Clay and I went op shopping!!  Ee went to 3 of my fave shops! 

Shorts for Clay $3

And shoes in near new condition $4

New in packaging - tree dies for $2

Play Date

Yesterday we spent a lovely afternoon catching up with work friends at the indoor play centre.  Clay surprised us by remembering that there were balls in there even before we got inside!! Its been at least 5-6 months since we last went but he remembered!! Clay and Huddy were the only kids there and had a ball :)

Everday Moments

Ma Ma and Clay headed to the park to play while I had a physio session.

Ice cream and playground fun after running some errands the other day :)

Kristy gave me a cutting from her gorgeous frangipani tree.  Look at the gorgeous colour of the flowers!!!

Swimming lessons are going really well!  Clay will go up another level when he turns 3 and wont't need an adult in the pool with him.
