Things That Make You Go Mmmmm - Monday

Okay, just had to share this......

I have about a 10 minute dawdle to work once the bus drops me off and I often vary the walk but cutting through different arcades. Well this morning I was wandering through an arcade on my way to the escalators when I happened to see this school girl attempt to step onto the down escalator thinking that it was the up escalator (okay in her defense they had swapped the escalators around ;-)  but what made me shake my head in amazement was that she still tried to get on the down escalator to go up 2 more times LOL

* her parents must be so proud of the money they are shelling out for her education :-)

Call me impulsive, call me reckless, just don't call me late for dinner :)

I have decided to do a giveaway and it is so easy to enter that you will be clammering to join in.....

All you need to do is be a follower of my blog and put a comment on this post and have a valid way of me contacting you if you win. Now how simple is that.

I suck at maths that is why it is gonna be so easy to enter, I would get too confused doing the 2 entries if you do this, and an extra entry if you do that LOL.

The winner will get a package of goodies personally picked by me. Now don't worry if you are not a crafty person, still enter as I will adapt the package to suit the winner.

But it will include items relating to..... (no real rabbits or kangaroos will be harmed in the distribution of prizes)

Good luck and entries close Tuesday 12pm 26 March 2013 (Perth Time) with the winner being contacted shortly thereafter.

Where Did February Go!

It is hard to believe that we are nearly at the end of week 1 in March...I have a feeling this year is going to go super quick.

This year I have a big birthday ending in 0 and we are going to head interstate for a week. I managed to get a super good deal on flights to Melbourne :)
My mum is going to come over from New Zealand and join us then come over to Perth for a visit.
We have decided to hire a car and do the Great Ocean Road, which is something that has been on our to do list for a very long time.......

Also my mum has never been to an AFL match so I think we will try and squish one of them in to, hey who can resist a chance to legitimately ogle things like this.......

Any hoo, I will post more about this upcoming trip in future blog posts as what I really was going to show and tell was how some of my crafty things are coming on.....

 The picture above is my progress on Lizzie Kates "Dog Lessons for People", I am really enjoying this one and the big bonus is no backstitch whoo hoo LOL

And this is the progress on my stash buster crochet blanket, this is just something that I am plodding along on using up whatever stash I have in my yarn bucket, I am really hoping that I have another ball of the greenie colour that I am currently using before I have to head back onto the stripes.

This will look really nice on the new lounge suite that we went out and bought on the weekend. We haven't had it delivered yet but here is a sneak peak........

The dogs have totally wrecked the other one, it is so embarrassing that I can't even show you a picture LOL

Well thats about it for now, till next time.............................
