Carnival of Flowers

I just love the School holidays, I can spend some time with my eldest, she started school this year and I miss her terribly when when she is at school.

This week Toowoomba had hosted it annual Carnival of Flowers. On Saturday we went to the parade, the Children really like going to this, lots of fun:)

Here area a couple of photos.

Today we went on a Train Ride to Spring Bluff. Spring Bluff is an old Train station they have restored. It is a lovely place for a picnic and during the Carnival of Flowers they run train rides from Toowoomba Station to Spring Bluff.

We went with some friends from out Playgroup.

At Spring Bluff ready for a picnic.



They were all given a train stamp. The conductor came around dressed in an uniform from about 1914 and he rang the boarding bell for the children and sang a song with them.
Yummy Mum finally made cupcakes I can eat.
Lots of places to explore
An old carriage that has been turned into a kiosk.
This house is now a Cafe.
Lovely flowers everywhere.
Train ride back home.

It was a lovely day, now the Children are watching TV quietly and I am going to visit some blogs:)

Give Away

Shannon from Paint mine Pink is hosting a give away. A group of us Aussie girls have put together some of our creations. Be sure to go to her blog and enter.

Shannon has done a wonderful job in organising it all and hosting this.

My baby boy is growing up

Yesterday my son turned 4. I am loosing my little boy, but gaining a bigger one. They grow up so fast, it only seems like yesterday he was 2 and now he is 4 only one more year at home then off to school.

Here are some photos of our day.

We went to the park for a birthday morning tea with family and his best friend.

My son and his best friend

His sisters and cousins.

Blowing out the candles. My son does not like cake he only wanted one so he could blow out his birthday candles.

Then back home for the afternoon.

Here he is playing with the golf set he got from his grandmother. Look out Tiger....

Yep has the professional golfer walk down pat.

He spent most of the afternoon playing golf in our back yard.

Craft Room Part 2

It has been ages since I have posted or visited blogs. I have been very sick and it has taken me nearly 2 weeks to get better.

Today I finally got into the craft room. It was a huge job and took all day. I am still not finished I now have to go through everything and sort it out and organise it. I need to get some more storage containers, jars and bits to finish it the way I want it.

So here is what I did today I moved everything around and unpacked boxes that have not been touched in 5 years. Threw heaps away and put the rest in bags for charity.

As I said it is not finished but at least I can now work in the room and with Spring here I will be using the room more. Box full on mending I can now do as I can now get to the sewing table.

Cupcake area.

My craft desk I can see the back yard from here so the Children can play while I work.

I got a new bookcase to put bits and bobs in.

Sewing area again. I strung all my lamp shades on ribbon and hung them from the curtain brackets. They are out of the way and will still remind me they are waiting to get a face lift. Now I have no excuse to exercise since the air walker is no longer a lamp shade holder:)
