magnolia square next week....

It's time again for Magnolia square. This time it is in Brighton.

So come along and see whats in store. I have been busily sewing the new long sleeve tops for boys, necklaces, scarves and birdhouses. Of course I have left things to the last minute again.

It will be great fun.

And I will be eating a lot of these.....

another one....

Another fun award I received last week from Monica at Beyond pink and blue. I hope you don't mind me wearing the same pj's to receive this award. 

The rules:

* List 7 things that make you Awe-Summ and then pass the award on to 7 bloggers you love.
* Make sure to tag your recipients and let them know they have won!

* Also link back to the Queen that tagged you.

1. I don't think I am Awe-summ, but I think my kids and husband think I am...they'll say anything for food!

2. I can do maaaany things at once - but then, so can most mums.

3. I have many awe-summ friends that continue to call me back, so they must like hangin' around me.

4. I know, and tell alot of stories (I accumulate them from other people).

5. I have a good memory, but only when it refers to long term stuff...short term I am running out of room up there.

6. I know lots of the words to songs on the radio (gold 104). I sing along all the time (I am a very bad singer).  I love the 80's and sad songs.

7. I have created a little business - little bubble and tree  - all while looking after a toddler and husband, having another baby, and trying to somehow - have a life!

Pheew that was hard. Here are some more lovely blogs that I recommend you check out....

a bit of fun.....

I have said it before, and i'll say it again - it has been a really nice journey... this blogging thingy!?!

As a bit of fun there are several chain letter - pay it forward type awards that are sent around the traps. These are sent to blogs that you find inspiring, awesome, or just to help put a smile on someone's face. They are a good source of finding new sites too.

I have received 2 in a few days. It must be from all the hype of the logies last week, (to overseas readers, this is our big awards ceremony).

I don't have a speech worked out...... but off the cuff - I would like to thank my husband for putting up with me sitting on the computer all day and everyday, my kids for thinking they live in a very big sewing craft room...and finally my friends, who probably think I have fallen off the face of the earth. All this and I excepted my awards in my spotty pj's!

I promise to TRY and be more attentive to you all, but when you look at my choices of great blogs below, you will see why I get so sidetracked in my every day life.

So thank you Kerry from the Seventy tree for thinking of me.

Here is what you do next if you wish to forward the award.

1 Put the Lemonade Award logo on your blog or post

2 Nominate at least 10 blogs that show great attitude or gratitude

3 Link to your nominees within your post

4 Let the nominees know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog

5 Share the love and link to the person from who you received your award

the gorgeous little winner!

packed and ready to go to the US...

the colourful prize pack...

The lovely Brandie who won our competition last month, has posted about little bubble and tree on her blog.

She has the most beautiful little girl, and the happy tunic that she chose for her daughter will go perfectly with her curly hair (see her pretty little smile above)

It is so nice to see the package was excitedly received. Check out Brandie's store for her beautiful girls clothing.

Thanks very much for entering the competition, I'm glad you like your prize.

milk from an octopus?

our youngest little bubble...

with Fern the octopus...

and Emma the cow...

 

While cruising around my blog list, I found this unreal little invention - the bottle pet. They are a soft snuggly toy in which a bottle fits inside to keep cool/warm.

They are made of polyester micro fibre, so it is nice and soft to hold while also cuddly enough to help your little one drift into 'nigh nigh's land. 

You can get yours from Kelly at childhood clothing, she has them with free shipping for a limited time - so hurry.

I got two, so when one is in the wash, I can use the other one - smart thinking hey! (not to mention, I couldn't just choose one).

They are easy to grip, and Lachie has been holding onto the arms of his octopus, and swinging it around until it is in his mouth (I think he has turned it into a game now). I thoroughly recommend them to stop bottles rolling off into the distance and out of reach.

Which one is your favorite?
