So, this is Christmas...

Hello all! Welcome to the new year - and the first anniversary for this little blog!

A little late, I know, being already almost the end of January (can you believe it!?), but better late then never, I say....

After all, I do have my reasons. I didn't quite start the new year as I would've liked...

Remember Christmas day 2011? Remember hail as big a golf balls? If you were in Melbourne at the time then you'd had to have been in a coma not to remember...

Well, we were flooded. Bad. The rain flooded our courtyard, so much so that my husband had to go out and push it out through the garage with a broom. Rain also came through our garage roof (little did we know that a tennis ball had somehow found it's way into the down pipe...). For the worst part of two weeks (plus some) I was mopping up, sorting through piles of books, supplies and even photos that I had unfortunately had kept there. No, not the best way to start a new year...



Thankfully I am s-l-o-w-l-y now getting on top of things, but it's been a really rough ride, both emotionally and physically - far more then I ever would have expected!

BUT, on the upside, I have managed to get a little break from the mess, and work on a few new creations. Here's a little sneak peek of something I made for a little girls' first wedding...

(yes, she bought both - her mother couldn't decide which was the cutest of the two... Can't wait to find out which she actually wore on the day...)
