Crochet LOVE

Recently (like in the last 2 weeks) I have learnt to crochet.
I can only do some simple stitches but I must say I have fallen in love with the simple methodical way of just sitting and using a needle and wool to create something.

I love this simple blue envelope crocheted out of a square... and the blog is so cute too. Click on the pic to go to the blog :)

He was a legend - speech at a University graduation in 2005

Chickens

I've been wanting to own some chickens for some time now but been reluctant of how the coop will look. But after seeing these pics I think I maybe sold on these very nice upscale coops. No unsightly bare wood and chicken mesh/wire to be seen anywhere!

Tutu Pink Dreamy Wedding Shoot

I am sooo in LOVE with this wedding shoot! I think I would have something similar to this if I could arrange my wedding again - WOWEE! I love almost every little thing. Shot on the streets of New Orleans - It is dreamy and romantic and so pretty.

Citrus Kindling

I love this idea. Take some orange or lemon skins (or any citrus fruit skins) and allow them to dry out for a few weeks. Then place in your kindling when you light your fire and you will have a pretty smelling fire.

I found this idea on the Real Simple website. They have so many ideas to making life easier and Simple. Go check it out here

Some people have such good ideas... I wish I had thought of this one :)
I hope to attempt to make my own version of this couch for our outdoor area. I can just see us now lazing in the sun on a warm summers afternoon, reading book and drinking juice - aaah bliss ... can you?

RANDOM

This blog is not meant to be found by people - its supposed to be random and thoughtless and thoughtfull - all at the same time.
I don't care if it gets 1 page view or a million ... I actually hope it doesn't get to many so i can talk rubbish and not be held accountable for it!

I just want to be able to type at the keys - let the words fill the screen as they flow out my head
AND NOT have to do a spell check!
and I won't do a spell check - so there

have a pleasant day

LIFE ISN'T A BOWL OF PEACHES... OR IS IT?

Its been a while since I've shared my mind - it because I'm always apprehensive of what people will think of me if I moan or say something that is less than pink and cute and happy.... But we all know that life is not that way. We all have days that are down or less than perfect. I try to remember that its OK to be sad and to NOT have everything together. I am ONLY human. But God still loves me - this way,
anyway I am.

thank goodness

What happened to the Disc Man?

I was thinking about how life has changed, technology is moving soooo fast! I look at old photos and think about things like what will my daughter say to her kids one day about the things she had and did when she was young eg her life now...(she is only 7 at the moment). I look at my photos as a kid and things like owning a Walk-Man tape player with cool headphones or Disc Man (portable CD player) which was So Super COOL when I was young... my daughter doesn't even know what those things are! She has am MP3 player which I put music on for her. It is tiny. Digital cameras... click, click, click and download. No going to the shop buying film, taking photos and being careful not to waste your film cause it costs money, develop you picks and PAY MORE MONEY!!! and see what of your photos came out OK and which can be ditched. We really live in a totally different time where everything can be shared between cellphones, computers, laptop, ipads, the internet, mp3 players and other devices.

I wander what will be obsolete when she is an adult and what her kids will think of her crazy stories about her life now :)


anyway :) just a thought

Blah blah blah

So some bloggers are fighting in the bloggersphere about who has a cooler blog and who are the real blogging professionals.... and for them I think whoa this is a real big deal to some people. tutt tutt... But then as I look and think it over - who wouldn't wanted to be taken seriously in this field and given accolades and have nice things said about you and awards - I WOULD!

but it doesn't matter ... rather blog about what makes you happy and see if life turns your happiness toward you. People can feel your infectious happiness and will want to see more of it!

I think if you wish well on others, life will send nice people your way and if you are NASTY about others then NASTYNESS will come and find you - in the way of REVENGE!!!

happy Friday

I have this blog to write what I feel ... I am going to do just that!
Its a new week and I am already running out of time and its only Monday! I am sick and tired of cleaning the house and dishes seem to pile even though I may not even have cooked a big meal! Some people are annoying me and I feel like telling them to butt out or just try and think a little from my perspective sometimes!! Really you are not the only person in the world and life isn't about being in with the lastest thing!!! I just want to relax with my lovely man and drink coffee and listen to the birds outside :) bliss. I can dream for another day ---- and go clean so at least I'll be less irritated with myself for not cleaning up!


thanks for the rant ;)

I write stupid stuff when I'm tired

I am just thinking how so many people are in the oddest relationships  - Married and unmarried.
I certainly wouldn't put up with some of the things I see people go through in their relationships - but then again I'm not them and I don't know everything.
Mmmm ... I don't know..... Am I seeing things right *rubs eyes* I sometimes fight the urge to say Hey you - what ARE you doing? can't you see - He or She - is playing you? It is so obvious that some people are just dorks... but then again - who am I to judge. I know my husband and I have a quirky and interesting relationship and people don't know everything - they just see the one side that we display to the world... so maybe I'm not seeing the WHOLE picture. Maybe they are REALLY happy. Just Maybe. I'll keep quiet for this one maybe .... Butting out now....till tomorrow ... ok till quite a few days... no weeks...

 ok I won't meddle...  (yes mom)


Till tomorrow

Guys are peacocks

have you ever noticed when guys meet each other for the first time how they kind of puff out the their chests (or act all confident) and say "hi I am john or whomever"and shake hands. Now the more shy guy will just quietly say hi and shake hands and observe all the guys and just laugh in the right places. But the macho man will tell the jokes and the stories and give out all the info how he gyms and bikes, cool guy hobbies etc...
these are the peacocks. If 2 peacocks have to meet then the stories really start coming out so they can size up who the bigger man is (un-intentionally of course) They just do it naturally. It is very amusing and this is when the guy pranks can start if to much drinking is happening. Silly things like lets see who can drink the fastest or i dare you....

Just an observation

Luckily I'm married to the shy guy :) shew
