HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY NUMBER 1 SON..


Andrew. Andrew. Andrew. Andrew. Andrew. Andrew. Andrew. Andrew.


Andrew. Andrew. Andrew. Andrew. Andrew. Andrew. Andrew. Andrew.


Born September 28th 1976. And it only seems like yesterday that a 22yr old gave birth to her first child. Ow, did I say that?

Andrew, I truly wish you a fabulous day. You will never be anything else but my nbr 1 boy.

25th September in MELBOURNE.

The Royal Melbourne Show 2006, is in full swing.


Some MAORI culture. The performance from these ladies was just superb.





Standing, listening to them, it was such a pleasure to hear their voices.




I had a day off yesterday to attend. This tent was just huge, massive. It had so many displays & stands in it, and still had plenty of space. There were quite a few wine displays with free sampling....Mmmm, yes, most of the wines I tasted were ??? nice and mellowing..





This is my happy photo...My entry this year got me a third prize. Very happy about that...One of these days I'll get that ELUSIVE BLUE RIBBON..




The day turned out to be excellent weather wise..no rain. and the crowd, yes, there was a very large crowd. By the time I got home, couldn't wait to sit down... with a lavendar foot soak, aaaaaaaaaah, that's what it's all about.

My PRINCESS



....my Grandaughter, Amber. She is truly an amazing little girl. She will be 10 in January 07.
The hair is to die for...Appearances can be deceiving, her hair seems to be about halfway down her back....ha ha ha....that is because it is so curly, almost like ringlets...but combed down (or stretched a bit), she can almost sit on it...and that hair colour....GRRRRR....I have to resort to the bottle every few weeks to try & get mine looking a similar shade to that. Like I say, she is my PRINCESS.


and a TURTLE IN A JADE TREE.....



This is a very athletic little fellow. Standing, he is about 5.5cm. He thinks he is very clever because he can climb trees.

9:11

The world will never forget. May they be at peace.

SWEET GUARDS



These two little fellas are my sweet guards. Made from acrylic yarn, 2 strands of sportweight. The big eyed one is going to a new home later today and his new owner who is 1 should have lots of fun.

I am a Canna What Flower Are You?

DURING MY LUNCHBREAK................



....sitting outside for a while...enjoying some sunshine....and watching the bees attack the lavender....all too soon it was time to return to the 'cube farm"......Oh well.!.

BEAR & BUNNY




Two more little friends. They're waiting for the weather to warm up just a smidge more before entering the wide world. In the mean time they're quite happy with each others company at home.

BODY GUARDS



These two little "pets" were my escorts & body guards this morning as I travelled to work.. fearing I would not get there, go around the block and end up at home again, they made sure that I didn't..believe me, the thought was there..They may be small but are quite ferocious.(hee hee)..



And in a couple of days they will be joined by two more...beasts..What fun!!!

NICE DAY FOR IT.....




First day of SPRING....perfect for a day at the beach.. Mr. Grandson is out there somewhere walking the sands with his mum.. and where am I??? stuck in a place that cannot be escaped from for another 4 hours...

And a PINCH & A PUNCH............
