And the "slack blogger of the year award goes to".......

ME !

I really need to find time to keep this up-to-date !

I have been trying to get back into craft stuff, am depsperately waiting to get our study set up properly so that I can spread out and not have to pack things up all the time.....

Anyhoo, some photos for the time being.

Merry Christmas !!!!!

Christmas is my favourite time of the year! Here are some pics of this years decorating efforts....





The backyard is still a work in progress. We now have paths with Dromana toppings. Next will be the turf and garden beds for the boys cubby.....

***** Merry Christmas to all who read my blog ******

Along time between drinks, or posts anyway !

So much has been happening ! The backyard is coming along nicely, will post some pics of all our hard work in the next couple of days.

In the meantime this is my latest decorating attempt, I have always wanted a chalkboard in the kitchen, now I have one !!!!!!

And jase, doing what he does best !

Update 4 - Our boys first venture into the property market !!!

Just needs a few finishing touches, I still have to paint some of the trims and affix the letterbox and ships bell and make a sign for the door. Then it is onto the landscaping for the cubby(now, that's the sort of sized landscaping project I can handle, lol ), J wants a water feature for his front garden, lol !!!!!

Bloody dog gets his 'mug' in every photo, lol !!!

Update 3 - getting there....

Our bedroom is finally coming together. I had been searching for some extra cushions for the bed for ages and finally found a couple of gorgeous ones in Target !

Update 2....

Finally got our plantation shutters and blinds installed. To say that I am less then happy is an understatement !!!!! The romans I got from http://www.iseekblinds.com.au/ are fantastic. The plantation shutters I got from another company are also great but their romans are shite quality and their customer service is non-existent.

Anyhoo, here they are.......

Sorry for the delay, oopps !!!! - update 1

Gosh, how slack of me, I can't believe it has been soooo long since my last update !!!!!

This will be a bit of a picture fest now, lol !!!!!

First NYE. We spent NYE at home for the first time in years !!!!!!! We got to see plenty of fireworks and the boys had a ball. The seafood went down a treat as did the alcohol (for the grown ups, lol )


*** will load photos soon, bloody thing won't upload them !!!! ***

Decking Complete !!!!!!

Christmas is over *sigh* only 363 sleeps til Santa comes, lol !!!

Decking was finished on the 23/12, talk about cutting it fine ! Melbournes weather has just been ridiculous, we were lucky to get it finished in time for Christmas at all !

Now we just need an outdoor lounge and the decking area will be complete !

Still on the list of things to do:

1. Screening fence (possibly merbau) to hide the water tank

2.Screen for the bin area

3. Landscaping to begin on the backyard

Partially decked...............

Decking is coming along nicely......Will be all finished on Thursday. The area totals 40sqm....All we need is a disco ball hung in the alfresco and we'll be ready to paaaaarrrtayyyy !

Well, I'll be......decked !!!!!

Decking started today !!! Do you like our new blonde superviser LOL ????

Christmas is coming !!!!!

Put up some decs on the weekend......

Eat your heart out Martha Stewart!!

So, what do you do when you can't find any pictures or prints that you like in the stores? You make your own !

I was busy making these this morning and I am so happy with how they all look in our bedroom as it was looking very brown and white and needed a subtle injection of colour.

Eat your heart out Martha Stewart!!

Off to bed sleepy head !

Our new bedroom suite was delivered yesterday and it is sooooo lush, even if I do say so myself.

Who said touch lamps can't be classy.

Poor Lachie, this is what moving day does to a 4 year old by 6pm !

There have been a few troubles with the house since moving in. Nothing too major and our super has had everything fixed really quickly ! Will update more in the next post.

So Happy !!!!!

Well, we moved yesterday, and thank goodness we didn't hold off til today as it has been pouring. We now have some lovely mud baths in our backyard, lol !!!! Even the dog is too scared to go outside for a leak, lol !!!!

I will probably bore you all with way to many pics over the coming weeks, but i really am so happy with how our house has turned out that I have gone snap happy !!!!

D'oh, I just realised none of the lights were on when I was taking the pics, no wonder they are so dark !!!
