A little left of center.

I've always known that I'm not quite the same / into the same things as the "norm" of society is... And now I'm proving it more than ever.. Just because I like it and enjoy making it doesn't mean the rest of society will..

Makes it very difficult for me. As I would love nothing more than to be able to make and sell something I love, around the boys being at school. But finding that something to base a small business on is proving difficult..

I'm putting it down to me being too advanced in my thinking for what society can handle right now ;-p
But seriously I can't be the only "green" thinking person out there, can I?!

I've fallen in love with the food bags I made the boys.. But am really unsure if they would sell.. Their purpose, to wash and re-use.. Less plastic.. Is that a to hard basket for today?! Is plastic the easier option?!

In the confused basket today!!
I'm off to make sandwich size food bags for the boys ;-) :-) xo

Ps. Had a great long weekend away, very wet And windy, but enjoyed great company!!

Cutting out more plastic!

In an effort to cut out plastic in the lunch boxes I've been trying to find a good pattern for fabric reusable food bags. I finally found one on my favourite website, pinterest!

4 have been made so far! With plenty more on the horizon!! They are so good and easy to make!!

We are off for a mini holiday tomorrow. Ben has a 4 day weekend, so we decided to go to Woodgate. A small coastal town a little south of us.. Of course we have to go somewhere, where we can fish!! Friends and some family will be there too!!

Hope you all have a great weekend! :-) xo

Weekend craft.

The weather wasn't the greatest on the weekend. Ben had to work on Saturday too... So we did some crafty things.

I fixed a bag I made, sewd the strap in properly.. Made a Peggy bookmark paperclip, and the boys chose wooden letters for their initials of their first name to paint!! They had alot if fun painting them too.

Hope your weekend was good :-) xo

Frustration..

I've got the sad sacks / frustrating mental block today... It doesn't happen very often anymore, which I'm really happy about.. But there are days where I just can't process WHY the boys do what they do and I can't move past it..( like making the milo I clearly asked them not to. Only to have milo all over the kitchen floor :-/) The brain melts down and not alot gets done.. Grumpy mummy arises and blue eyes plays on it and keeps the antics up.. Grr!! Lol!!

Yesterday was a show holiday here, blue eyes has no Kindy this week because of it, the prospect of Ben not coming home until saturday after a long week.. Blue eyes waking well before the sun every day this week and relapsing into major hair twiddling of my hair... Hmmm that's just to mention a few..

Gee I feel a little better now... Sound like a whinger, but... We all need to do it every so often..

Our week started so extra well too.. I even got to catch up with an old school friend. She's moved back to Bundy. It was so great to see her.. A familiar face! She has 2 gorgeous little girls!

Our niece is coming for a sleepover tomorrow night! We are all excited!! The SIL is going to dinner with her gf's. It will be a little strange, I've never babysat overnight before. But we will have some fun!

Green thumb.

My little blue eyed gardener helped me plant some seeds today. Basil and rosemary. And tend to our parsley.

He is such a good helper!

:-) xo

Oh you Cress Head!

Last Thursday Blue Eyes did a lot of gardening at Kindy. All the kiddies planted some herbs and veggies and they made a worm farm with 1200 worms!! Lol.

They also planted a heap of Cress seeds in a decorated cup! As you can see its growing great guns!! Blue eyes is very pleased with his gardening efforts!! :-) xo

Keeping the troops happy!

When we go fishing I never know how much food we'll eat.. So I practically pack the whole pantry!! But it's all good yummy food :-).

We are off fishing now, it's a beautiful sunny day! Xo :-)
