Nothing new

Im going to have to be boring for awhile. Life without a camera is actually quite strange. One of those things that get taken for granted I suppose. Im currently using my phone camera but the photos arent as good.

Apart from the odd housework and fun times swimming in our pool thanks to Grandgreg...

Ive been making crayon rolls...

(:

Underwear

Miss 4 is busting out





So shes getting nice new undies





Heres some I whipped up today just very quickly without a pattern (I need a pattern though...)





Coming up...a whole new stash of undies and a whole new stash of nappies for the youngest!!!

My sick baby

My poor wee hun got her first stomach flu last week. She vomited at midnight and when we picked her up to put her in the shower (puke everywhere...) she kept saying "sowwy sowwwy yuck".

It broke my heart to hear her say that. Shes just turned 17mths and talks so beautifully, new words every single day :)

Shes much better now and has passed the flu to big sis. Sharing is caring ;)

Life without a camera

Arrrgh its well and truly dead and I have sooo many photos I need to take!

The stupid shutter slider got jammed on my digital a couple of weeks ago and because there was a photo that needed taking I jammed it back across (thinking it was only dirt stuck in the grooves) and well...whaddya know. It killed it.

The bunting is still on the wall waiting for a photo, the kids are growing faster, I havent managed a shot of my SS swap yet and I cant start my pockey money making plan without taking a pic for advertising.

Better start saving for a camera...

Gas Leak

And no...it wasnt Rodney ;-)

Last night our house started smelling of gas so we had to ring the gas company, turn our mains off and open windows. They werent here to fix it until this morning which I find pretty slack, the man that was meant to do the job rang me sounding a bit sloshed and gave me a number for a gasfitter.

Not to mention one spark could have set the gas off.

They turned up this morning and attached the reader to the meter and it instantly registered as a gas leak. The valve on the gas meter was faulty so it couldnt check for leaks and the valve on the underfloor heater wasnt attached properly so its been leaking for a long time. Judging by the corrosion he guessed at 6mths to a year. Probably accounts for my high gas bill. Hummm...

All fixed now and thanking our lucky stars we are all still alive. Natural gas suffocates very quickly so thank goodness it was only a slow leak.

Never take your lives for granted, it doesnt take much to end them.

Merry Christmas :)

"Manaia"

Ive had these wooden letters since Manaia was 2. Shes 4 now and I finally found a great idea of how to use them. Painting to me never turns out the way I like it and fabric covering would be fiddly. So I used Tinkerbell Scrapbooking Paper :D Perfect for the 4 yr old fairy in my life.
