Linkup Party Likes #15

Happy Halloween everyone!!! It’s Halloween today and the weather is fitting, cold and miserable.  I remember celebrating Halloween when I was a kid.  I would wear my Mum’s black tablecloth with little white flowers on it as my cape and my Mum would make me a witches hat.
I don’t really do anything at our house for Halloween but my sister is a big kid and she has her place all set up with a little mini haunted house and had my girls over for a sleepover and a sausage sizzle for a few of my nieces school friends.  Sorry I’m a bit slack and don’t have any pictures.
Anyway, what have I been up to lately well I have put a few more listings up at my Made It store and have a few tutorials in mind for Wednesday but can’t decide yet what I would like to do first.
But what have you all been doing lately?  Well I thought it was only to fitting to share the great ideas you all had for Halloween this year.
I think this little witches hat over at Sweet Little Smoothie is just adorable and going to make one for the girls next year.

And I just love this tutorial that Shining Parties has for this yummy looking Ghost Pops.  Who can resist anything that has Oreo's in it:

Crafts by Amanda has a great way to recycle the good old Juice box/popper:

Crafty Linky has a great craft idea for Halloween using paper plates:

Do you have some empty plastic milk cartons and a few solar lights out in the garden.  Then why not create these great Ghosts for the garden.  You can find the tutorial over at Condo Blues:

Have you got your trick or treat bag?, No! why not make one using felt using this tutorial over at Better Together:


Creative Juice has a great tutorial for making these great hair accessories, plus some free printable:

And last but not least, Freaking Craft has created these cute little mummy’s using vases, fabric and googly eyes.  The would make great centrepieces at any table.
I will have to get my finger out next year and use some of these great ideas for the kids to have next halloween.
Well its nearly dinner time so I better head off.  Hope you all have a scary halloween.!!!!!!

Ps.  all pictures have been taken for relative blog sites. 

I’m Back!!!

 

Hello everyone, how have you all been.  Well I’m finally back from holidays and feeling refreshed.

Hubby just had 3 weeks of and in the 2nd week we took our little family and my beautiful Mum with us to Noosa.

We stopped and had lunch at the Ettamogah Pub on the way up on the Monday before settling in at the Islander Resort:

During that week we took lots of walks and ate lots of yummy food, went for a swim in the lovely heated pool, walked round the Eumundi Markets, went sailing on a boat (silly me for got the camera and haven’t taken the pictures off hubby’s phone yet) and then on the way home we stopped at Under Water World to checkout all the beautiful fish and scary sharks.  Oh and the seals as well:

Hubby picked up some great seafood from the local fish market.  He also made the best oysters kilpatrick, so yummy!!!!

Ethan’s first time in a swimming pool, it was that warm he feel asleep, so cute!!!

And this little guy is so cute!!!

So now its back to everyday madness.  Ethan is currently teething (I know where has the time gone teething already), the girl’s are enjoying the beautiful spring weather we are having and me, well I actually managed to get some sewing done and uploaded more listings to my Made It Store.

Know as I recall I mentioned that I was thinking of making regular posts and after much thinking this is what I have in store:

Monday – Link up Party likes: I will still be checking out all the wonderful creations that you come up with.

Tuesday- In the garden: I have finally been able to get out into the vegie garden so I am going to be sharing what I have been up too with you.

Wednesdays – Tutorial Wednesday: I am hoping to share with you something I have created.

Thursdays – I found it at the library:  I have been searching the library catalogue and borrowed some great books that I wish to share with you.

Friday – What was on the Menu:  Got to have something about food.  I will be sharing what lovely things we have been creating in the kitchen.

So there you have it.  I am hoping that I can keep this going for you each week and hope that you like what you read.

Well I guess I better get too it.  Have a great week everybody!!!!

Holiday’s!!!!!

 

So yet again I have been very slack with the posts but that is going to change very soon.

Hubby is finally on holiday, yeah!!!! and I am going to be spending lost of time with our little family enjoying this lovely spring weather.  My little man is finally settling into a routine and sleeping thru the night so I will be able to get to my sewing machine a lot more as well.

When hubby’s holidays are finished I am hoping to be refreshed and back with lots of post to share with you.

As you have noticed I have been making a few regular post eg. Link Party Likes, I found it at the Library. I have decided to make a these and few others on a permanent basis but haven’t decided what days I will do these on.

So watch this space!!!!!

Have a great week!!
