Back again

Yay, I'm back. A long couple of days, lucky I was busy and didn't notice it too much (yeah, sure, I kid myself too).

The kid's dance concert is all over, Sat was a big one with heading over to see HB and have Mr HB dust my computer (all it seemed to need to fix it!!), then a late night watching all styles of dance. Took me a few days to recover, Little Miss snapped right back!

SO have been trying to tidy up a bit, make things a bit more streamlined....I cleaned out the computer 'corner' and pushed back the couches...

much more room! And slightly more co-ordinating than before (must dye my other doily tablecloth red!)

and last night...Little Miss decided someone else's 'bob' haircut looked good, and 24 hrs later-

done! I didn't give her anytime to change her mind haha. God, she looks so grown up now! And she LOVES it! (Don't you wish as adults we could be that decisive and easy to please?)



Let's bowl, let's bowl, let's rock and roll

This song has been in my head all day- from what is probably the worst movie of all time. Hey, I might lose fans by saying it, but come on, it's true!!

Anyway, despite not knowing all the words, I hummed along as I took the Little Miss (still wearing my top, happy mummy) to Richmond yesterday. The concentration.....

and the cheeky brat poses after nearly whippin' my ass! A draw, 88 all, embarrassing! I have a strict "no letting the kid win" rule for all games, mainly because I hate losing, but so far this week I haven't won a hand of Uno, Go Fish is becoming my LEAST favourite game, and bowling may become an annual event. Too much breast milk is my excuse!! (said very tongue-in-cheek)

So, as punishment (which didn't really work, she likes it as much as me) we rode the silver escalator to Ikea. As well as candles, I picked some amazing fabrics....

this one (already nabbed by child as a bag)

This gorgeous one that I split with Cam

and this one, all for me me me! Yum.

The other reason I went, was to help improve the lounge room. This op shop couch is an Ikea one, and I like the soft squishy cushions, so

I bought some extra inserts for $8.99 each, and made covers from the stash! A fourth is waiting to be made up, ran out of time)

If anyone finds a huge lace tablecloth a la the red one, I'm happy to buy it off you, the pink and yellow aren't doing it for me! I need to coordinate....
