Any cross stitchers out there???
My friend has had a great idea to cross stitch ornaments for those who have lost everything in the fires,,,,,she is thinking ahead for next Christmas,,,please pop by her blog and leave some love if you are able...it would be a wonderful help if we could:)

Even if you cant stitch, can you sew, would you be willing to make something else crafty and Christmassy at all....the possibilities are endless:)
They will be struck by more sadness come Christmas because it will be thier first Christmas since "The Fire"
Thanks in Advance

Hmmmm snippets
I want to try to get a diary or book of some sort happening for the little bits and pieces the kids say and chat about,.,,things they will forget:)
Like recently DS goes to work and he is having hassles with one of the managers....we are tryng to teach him on one hand dont let people push you around but on the other hand dont be a sook and dob. Basically stand up for yourself but do it tactfully if you know what i mean.
There is a funny i need to share but you did have to be here to hear it but my girl is the funniest thing on the planet and she has the craziest sense of humour......i just ADORE this kid!
I was sitting at the bench and she had been on her computer, suddenly some country music came on- you know the leg lifting arm swinging YEEHAH kind of music!??????
Well i just about peed myself laughing at her,.......she got up dancing swinging the old arms and was just cracking up laughing she was so damn funny!!!! I said the minute she was born that this child will delight me and delight me she does:)
As for the other OMG he too is amazing and growing up so damn fast....we are looking at cars!!!Yes CARS i kid you not! This boy will be 16 this year and it terrifies me because he i a showoff and also a follower....it worries me him with a licence and being let lose on the roads!!!
He changes his mind like the weather these days and it is hard to keep up with what he wants....he so desperately wants a Nissan ZX 300??...is that what it is called?
We saw a Proton in mildura the other week that i thought was pretty nifty, so did he for a while:)
Next up, he was in love with a really *cool* fore runner, which was a nice orange colour LOL
Today it is a holden berlina VL???? Anyway the boys are going to take it for a test drive tommorrow and DS is beside himself with excitement.
We told him we will help him with a car but i would actually like for him to get a bank loan for a small part of the purchase price.....say $1000...just to teach him how to manage his money a little better.
Things are going well here at the moment. We are all shocked at the bushfires, as is most of Australia and so i dont wish to dwell on that, needless to say i shall be donating in one way or another, or a couple of ways.
I dont start work until 12 tommorrow so i might go to town and do some spending for a good cause:)
Anyway i am heading off now...i jsut wanted to get these couple of things down before i forget....im thinking along the lines of that i dont tell my family enough what they mean to me,,,,dont get me wrong we are always hugging and kissing and saying i love yous but you know sometimes the deeper feelings are mentioned....i know im rambling but i dont care! I know what i mean:)
The kids have settled into school well so far....ds is year 10 and dd is year 8...you know when they started school the 7 or 8 years they were at primary school seemed like such a long time to get through......now we are into the high school and there is really only 2 years left of school for leigh........i just cannot believe that time moves so fast and there are still so many things i want to teach them and to share with them and i guess that i am scared that i am going to run out of time to tell them.....
So gert and matt, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH....oh and dashing dazzler........I LOVE YOU too:)xxx
You three are my universe and i adore you all:)xx
