Girls Just wanta have fun

Girls just wanta have fun
What a great way to spend the day out in the big smoke. My daughter Nicole and I and my friend Shani and her daughter Savannah went to the big smoke, down to Melbourne for the day.

We went for a bit of shopping then a Musical “The Rocky Horror Show”.
It was great to spend some time having fun all together. Savannah has Cystic Fibrosis (like my son Matthew) and also Aspergers.
Matthew and Savannah only met each other last year and from a far through a car window keeping there distance and waving to each other .Children with Cystic Fibrosis aren’t allowed to mix together as they can cross infect between one another. It is hard as Shani and I are great friend and have been since primary school.Our Children bringing us together again after both our children having CF.

Nicole and Savannah in this cool alley that had graffiti painted all over.It looked so cool.

After The Rocky Horror show,we went for a carriage ride through the city ,didnt we think we were royality

Shani and Savannah

We all felt we were Queen for the day the world was our oyster.

A great day with great friends.

Creative Play

Summer Fun that’s what I say. I want to wish all my friends and family a Happy, Healthy and Creative New Year.
My hands have been itchy to create and those that know me would be shocked that my table (dining room table) were I create as I have no studio has been clean not a tool to be found and yes believe it or not a table cloth on it shocking I know.
Well alas the cloth has rolled back and I’m starting to create again.
I got my etching supplies out again and have created this metal dressing making dummie with wings. It was a funny story as I spent hours cutting the shape out, filing and sanding then finally getting it into the etching solution at 10 to 6 at night big mistake, kids wanting to be fed, me having to watch my new addiction Dexter on DVD . About 10.30 oops forgot the etching soaking LOL thank goodness it was a thick bit of metal as it was now paper thin, saved by the skin of my teeth LOL.
Another piece I have been working on for my etsy shop another necklace pictured here.
I will list it tonight sometime if anyone is interested. Well off to fed the kids and yes no etching soaking at the moment
