More new friends!
All going to new homes:( Friend homes who will love them too! I hope.... :)
This lamb is going to the lovely Eve:)
This one went in the post to his/her new home! What an adventure.... This picture was snapped on a friends lap on the way to the post office.... hence unflattering lamb angle!
This one went to my super cute nephew! He loves him. His foot is now a strange colour due to it being delicious-ed after a particularly colourful dinner...
I think I love crochet.

Why hello friends.
These are my first attempt at amigurumi:) I am learning to crochet... this is helping! I had always wanted to attempt some amigurumi but has always been intimidated! But on the school holidays I decided to work at it for the Queensland flood victim children:) Then when I got back to school I found that a fellow teacher had been flooded out and her children were not coping so well!:( So I decided to make all 4 of them a amigurumi each:) 3 boys and a girl:)
And as a bonus I am using up my wool stash!
This one is my favourite:) Unfortunately I run out of white so her top is a little long.... but its original:)
This little guy took quite a while but turned out cute I think:) Both the above patterns were from Luvlygurumi on etsy:)
These guys are super cute too! I liked learning how to do the alternating leg stripes on the guy from Rosieok on etsy:)
So on completion they all went in this box and off to their new home:) To make some kiddies smile:)
What is going on there??
hmmm... something is happening at our block.... First a tap arrived... then the plumbing went in!
Then the builders sand arrived!... oh gets stuck on your shoes...
Today the concrete reinforcement arrived... and the power box! YAY!:)
Flat sand piles look more exciting from here:)
I am super excited to visit my new house everyday to see the progress:) Although obviously at some point it won't be quite as exciting:) But after more than a year of waiting we are super excited for even this progress! YAY!:)

Mmmm delicious cupcakes for my mum:)
It was my Mum's birthday. Definately a time for special cupcakes. I am rarely given the chance to make delicious cupcakes for my family so I wanted to make something super special:) This is what I came up with after 3 hours of drooling over recipes on the internet....
Snickerdoodle Duo - not only a cupcake but also a cookie! From Bakerella :) You could make your own... they aren't particularly difficult... but are particularly yummy:) I didn't use the 7 minute frosting though... I used the marshmallow frosting from the next cupcake:)
This cupcake, although not particularly attractive in these annoyingly see through wrappers, was delicious:) A confetti cupcake with marshmallow frosting for the kiddies:) Try this link for a look at the pretty insides -
They needed candles of course...
Marshmallow frosting isn't very supportive it seems... But they still worked well enough for a group candle blowing from Mum and her grand babies:) Always the helpful type:) And after that the eating!
Success! Give them a try! I recommend:)
