School holiday fun.,...

just got back from taking my girls to the movies.....we saw

Fame.

loads of memories there, I can tell you....I saw this as a teenager and also remember watching the TV series.....dancing around the lounge room, doing piroettes(?) and landing on the floor in laughter with my girlfriends. A little bit different from the original but lovely all the same.....

what are you doing for the school holidays?

cheers Julz

Market over!

well, I'm bushed!

YD and myself were up at 6.30am this morning to go to the Healesville Racecourse Market.....

set up was a breeze this time....

although the bent frame on the pop up gazebo was a bit of a worry with a few unexpected gusts of wind! new one coming.....

No pics this time as it was pretty much the same as here


Sold quite a bit again....thanks to all those lovely ladies. So I think the next few weeks will be rather sewing orientated!

On another front, TCCT is out next week, so busy busy for that.....

Halloween

is the theme for September....

these cute little guys will be a feature on my pages....check them out on the 15th!

well that's it.....I'm pooped, off for a coffee and then it'll be "What's for tea, Mum?" (ever get the feeling you're wanted for something?)

take care
