My Creative Space.....

Oh my goodness, it feels like FOREVER that i played along with my creative space

With the craziness of school holidays over (HELLO drop off and pick up - i most definately have not missed you) im hoping to get my blogging mojo back

Mr is off to grade 3, and little miss is off to kindy this year - something she has been longing for.... Thankfully there were no tears (from her) and she skipped off to kindy like she had been doing it forever!



and of course the grin from baby Kate when she realised it was just me and her: priceless!


I have so much to catch up on - i hope you're all still out there!

in my creative space this week im working on a heap of these..
a order for my dear friend who gets married in April




Hope your all having a wonderfully crafty day

Thanks for stopping by!

Sail Away...

Well this week has disappeared into a blur of cleaning, packing, school runs and shopping, with a wee bit a crafting thrown in for good measure.

This 'nesting' thing seems to be all consuming me at the moment because i just cant stop thinking, planning, sorting and tidying!

However, we are also off for a long weekend on a house boat trip with family so hopefully in 24hrs time this will be my backyard

I am looking forward some boating, swimming, fishing and R&R as well as some enforced separation from organising the house - as i said, the nesting thing is kind of out of control!
If i send one more bag of toys or clothes to vinnies, i think my kids really will disown me.

So to finish off i just wanted to share (finally!) the finished project from my creative space a few weeks back. This cushion and bunny are (hopefully) receiving lots a warm cuddles and peaceful sleep!

Back into the swing with My Creative Space...

Back to reality with a bit of a bump this week. We had a wonderful 10 days away camping here are a few highlights of the week......

LOTS of skiing and tubing (and finding muscles i haven't used for the while!)



Kayaking and swimming....




Meeting the locals....



No crafting in sight, but i did managed to get through 2 of the 3 books i took (woohoo!)....

and nights toasting marshmallows around the camp fire....


all in all a fabulous week of R & R and quality family time.....


so its been a little hard, trying to get back into the swing of things. I've come back wondering where September has gone? so much to do, so little time! and this rainy weather is not exactly helping my sky high camp washing pile!

So its straight back into it and this is my creative space this week....



i noticed over here that santa has come super early which has given me the kick in the pants i needed to get cracking on goodies for the stocking swap.....

i ordered some supplies before we left for some birthday gifts we have coming up and a few new ideas i have rolling around in my head for the shop. so these are also making an appearance...


Love to know your thoughts

Thanks for stopping by!

off for a short break....

This time tomorrow this will be our view from our front door (ie. tent flap).....


and that will probably be our boat out on the water from dawn till dusk! (yes, Mr JK is THAT person you shake your fist at - the one who fires up the ski boat while all the other campers are still asleep trying to 'make the first ripples on the water!)

and we will be doing a heap of this....


so we're off for 10 days of camping and water skiing and adventures in the great outdoors. I'll be back on the 21st of September. Meanwhile im off to pack some BIG books i can lose myself in and maybe ill sneak in some yarn and a crochet hook........

Thanks for stopping by,

5 years ago today.......

I married my best friend - the most wonderful, honest, funny, fiercely loyal and generous man i have ever known. Normally i don't do super personal post but as today is our wedding anniversary i thought it should be marked with a special post.




So, to a wonderfully supportive hubby who puts up with me (and all my crafty mess!) and an even better daddy, i just want to say 'Happy anniversary to Mr JK xo!'

Thanks for stopping by,
JESS
