School Holidays - Week 4

Tabs and Torrie are staying with us for a bit, so Monday morning we set up the supplies to do some crafting and then baked cupcakes. We played Clay's new pop up game and built lego.

Tuesday I finished another lego set! We took the kids to see Sonic 3 - pretty good movie :)  We waited to see if it was going to keep raining before deciding to risk it and head out to see the NYE fireworks.  It's been 5 years since our council has put fireworks on, so nearly all of Bundaberg was there LOL  It was a great fireworks show and we walked over to listen to the band playing on the stage for a bit.

Clay's friend Landon is in town visiting his grandma for a few weeks - so she dropped him over Wednesday for a play date :)

Thursday Chris and Megan stayed overnight on their way through back to Rocky. It was so lovely to meet Megan and there was lots of wedding and travel talk :) Friday afternoon Chris and Megan headed to the train station and I made jam and Nutella drops while the kids swam.

Saturday morning we decided to go out for breakfast :) Afterwards Clay and I popped into an op shop and brought some more books before we headed game for a lazy day watching cricket, reading, another swim and more 3D printing.

Today was a relaxed day at home.  We did pop out to drop some toys off to a friend and Clay wanted to buy some more Lego with the last of his Christmas money, which he spend the afternoon building.

3D Print Creations

I found the time to upload new print files and the printer has been running nearly every day this week!

First print for 2025 was this giant Lego flower pot - Craig asked why he brought me lego when I could just print it LOL  The pot was printed with black filament, but then spray painted brown.

I promised Torrie a unicorn fidget toy ages ago and finally got it done - I love this tri-colour filament :)

I found this cricut blade holder - holds 37 blades!

I saw this cool idea - a Lego balloon powered boat!  Clay had a go of it in the pool this arvo.

Love this Lego storage box! It actually comes in 2 other sizes :)  I think I might make one for Clay in green.

Cards

First 2 cards for 2025!

I didn't hit my scrapbook goal again last year, but did much better compared to the precious year :) I swapped my resin goal for 3D printing and exceeded that, so have doubled it for this year. Surprisingly I didn't get halfway with my cricut gaols, but have lots of projects planned, so maybe will meet it this year.  I was close with my cards - yay :)

Squeezing in one last post to share the cricut creations I've made over the last few weeks :)

I brought some UV HTV and made this shirt for Clay.  He thinks its super cool LOL  It's overxast here today, so will try and get a better photo of the colour change once it's sunny.

One of the girls at work saw this tshirt design and asked me to make it for her LOL

Chicken tote bag for a work friend :)

A cheeky woodburrnt cheeseboard for an engagement present :)  I've paired this with a set of gold coloured stainless steel cheese knives.

Clear acrylic bookmarks are impossible to photograph LOL  A bookmark each for mum, Diane and Clay :)

This memorial Christmas tree ornament was very hard to photograph!  Just a simple design as a special gift for my friend Lindalee for her beautiful daughter she lost this year.

I've seen this idea on a few Lego FB Pages and knew I had to make one too :)  I used the shadow box frame I thrifted a few months ago and some cardstock to make this cute way to store the leftover bits from Lego sets!

Sharing some print projects I've done lately:) I LOVED this giant Lego wreath when I spotted it online and knew I had to make one :) I ran out of green filament with 2 branches to go, but luckily my local shop had some in stock LOL I actually printed this all weeks ago, but forgot to share it :)  The great thing about this wreath is there is a heap of interchangeable parts for other occasions eg Easter, Halloween, spring, etc so I will print more and use it all year long!

I found the file for these cute Yoshi hooks and knew I had to make some for Clay's room!  I had to paint the eyes on to finish them.  They look cute on the wall :)

School Holidays- Week 3

Monday was spent running around doing last minute xmas shopping in the morning, but then a lazy afternoon reading, building Lego and a swim.

Santa arrived at Craig's work, so we popped in to say hello :)  Then James and the boys came over  for the afternoon - it's been months since we've seen them and Clay was so excited :)  The boys played games on the switch then spent a couple of hours swimming. Ir was Christmas eve, so set up snacks for Santa, the reindeers and elves :)

Christmas day :)

Boxing Day was more riding in his kart first thing in the morning.  Then mum, James and the boys all turned up again for another visit.  We headed to HJ for lunch, then James and boys headed back home to Rocky. Some Lego building (completed one of my new sets) and a swim to finish off our day.

Friday we piled in the car and headed to Gin Gin for a drive- we checked out Mike's new house and the stray cat that appears to made itself at home there LOL. After the we headed into Gin Gin and had a delicious lunch at a pub.

Saturday morning mum and the boys came over for a swim. Tabs and Torrie joined us and then we all had a declious lunch.

This morning we headed to the shops so Clay could spend his gift card he got for xmas.  There was some more lego building - I got another new set finished :) We also hired a carpet cleaner and cleaned all the house - well over due!
