Summer Days

There's not much chance of a White Christmas here in Newcastle, but we are loving these beautiful summer days spent at the beach! Jack and Jayden look great on the beach in their beach boy boardies, very groovy! 

Boardies are available at my madeit store

 This is where you'll find us for most of the Chrissy Holidays, hanging out at the beach with family and friends and a great big bottle of sunscreen!

This is Hannah's favourite skirt at the moment and she wears it every where! She's also pretty pleased that at 4 her hair has finally decided to grow, she spends ages looking at herself in the mirror brushing her long hair!

If your daughter would love a skirt like Hannah's they're available in my madeit store

Enjoy your weekend :)

Pyjama Parties and Pillow Fights...

and teddy bears and bedtime stories,

Girly and Fun, very, very sweet!

Made from a light cotton, so cool and comfortable! Great for Australian summers, probably not so good for noe (or snow as most would call it).

Baby Doll Pyjamas now listed at madeit

A Christmas Makeover

I have given the blog a Christmas Makeover, I am beginning to feel all festive!

Not long now and Santa will be on his way, the kids are so excited, and maybe me too!

Jack was telling me yesterday how excited he is, he asks me everyday if its Christmas yet?

But the part he cant wait for is noe (snow), he's never seen it before, and unfortunately, unless there is a truly amazing Christmas miracle, its not likely to happen in our neck of the woods on Christmas Day!

I wonder how much a noe machine would cost??? 

If I won lotto, I would fly him to somewhere with snow for Christmas!

Captain Jack's Book Arrived

12 x 12 inch hardcover story book starring Jack with guest appearances by Jayden and Hannah, and a few more odd bodies!

Jack loves it!

Hannah Does too and Jayden wants to take it to school for news day!

PS I couldn't wait for Christmas to give it to him, we were all so excited!

I wonder what adventures he'll have in his next story.....

Hannah's Handmade Pyjama's

I was just going through photos and found this one of Hannah, she was about 18mths old and had been exploring the backyard. I remember taking this photo because she was always getting dirty and didn't seem too girly....

She definately didn't grow into the tomboy I thought she may have, she is the girliest girl, the most precious princess!

And Hannah (and Jack and Jayden) have always worn handmade pyjamas! Their Nan makes them pyjamas for every spring/summer and autumn/winter.

Hannah has almost loved the pyjamams I made on friday to death already! She spent Saturday running around a caravan park in them, and could not convince her she needed to get dressed! (we did manage to convince her she couldnt swim in them!).

I am sharing this photo of Jack that I took the other day, its sooo sweet!

Weekends Over! Christmas is getting closer, i'll never be ready in time!!!!!!!!

Hopefully all your presents are bought and wrapped, and all you need to do is enjoy!

New Baby Doll PJ's

I have been wanting to make these PJ's for a while, a bit like we used to wear when we were kids!

These are made from the lightest cotton, so great for our Australian summer! Perfect for those Christmas morning shots, tousled hair, still sleepy but excited eyes....

Its a busy weekend coming up, so I will list these on madeit.com.au

on Sunday night!

Have a great weekend :)

Its beginning to look a bit like christmas

Its taken us 3 days of moving furniture and sorting through toys to get the Christmas tree up!

The whiz bin is full of broken toys, and McDonalds toys! The front verandah is full of bags with fisher price toys, little people cars, tickle me elmo and chicken dance elmo! There's lots of musical instruments, I almost cried when we decided it was time for these to go....

But we made room for the Christmas Tree, and all the new toys Santa is going to bring us!

 Hannah looked after the bottom of the tree. Jack, in between dreaming of what more he could he add to his Santa list, decorated the back of the tree!

 We usually try and get a family shot under the christmas tree each year, but so far this is as good as it gets!

Might try again tomorrow.... maybe! This shot was taken about 30 seconds before Hannah was face planted into the floor by Jayden, as they were all trying to get away from Mum's camera!

I dont get it! What could possibly be wrong with living your life under the constant scrutiny of my camera!!!

Happy December! May your days be Merry and Bright!
