Cotton...

My grandparents have moved into a rest home... it's sad, and it's been a hard week as we have sorted through their house and their belongings that they no longer want or need... but there are always gems to be found... And my nana's cotton stash is one of those gems... I thought long and hard about where I was going to store them, and then it dawned on me... left over preserving jars...

 

 

What do you think???

 

 

 

new {old} toys

My grandparents are going into a rest home... and while that is sad, it is also time... my grandparents have decided that their grandkids get first dibs on all their stuff... so I went over to their place in search of retro tupperware and baking items...

I scored on the baking items front...

They don't make these like they used to... thats for sure

As for the retro tupperware... sadly my nana appears to have thrown most of it out... she doesn't remember doing so, but her mind is not really with it anymore, so who knows...

Sleeping Arangements

Sometimes when your child ask to sleep someone different to usual, it's not worth the fight you are gonna have if you say no... so here is Cammy's bed for last Sunday night...

and Monday night, and Tuesday night, and Wednesday night and Thursday night... I packed it up on Friday night when he wasn't here...

Delightful Suprise

I love Op-Shopping... and I have now gotten my mother hooked also... we do go op-shopping together 1 friday every month and have a few regular shops we visit.

A few weeks ago, we came across this awesome sewing desk for $25 so I bought it...

To be honest, it isn't much different to my current sewing desk, but this one had the doors at the front, and the top drawer, isn't a drawer... it actually lifts at the top and is a great place to pop your overlocker.  Only I don't have an overlocker... Or at least I didn't... till I got this desk home and had a decent look through it.... and in that great place to pop your overlocker, there actually WAS an overlocker...

I squealed with delight when I discovered this... and then squealed even more when I realised it was a WORKING overlocker!!  My mum couldn't believe it... especially considering I only bought the desk so I could convert my old one into a study desk for Paris and Josh.

 

 



A day of Fun

My sister got some tickets to Rainbows End given to her the other day.  She asked if Cammy and Me wanted to join her and my niece when they went... of course I said yes :)

so yesterday was the day we went... Cammy was sooo excited... and he went on all the rides her was big enough to go on...

he didn't like the Pirate Ship, loved the Gold Rush, enjoyed the Log flume, loved the Motion Master, loved the Family Karts and enjoyed all the rides on offer in the Kids Kingdom

Here are some pics of our day
