Lifes too short

Everyday  LIFE brings us a lesson.

Whether that lesson be delivered to you in a kind and gentle way, or in a sudden and tragic one, Its trying to get your attention and tell you something.

This week a very beautiful man was taken  so suddenly from so many people who adored him.
His name was BOBBY REES.

His death has awakened my mind in so many ways.

LIVE your BEST life, BOBBY was larger than life and lived his to the fullest.

I know I will.

                                                     R.I.P  BOBBY.

Away we go

Purses purses everywhere!!

I just love love this fabric. It was a beautiful Tea towel that I spied whilst visiting my Mum with my girls. She was keen to hold onto it but I begged.....well I said," how could you possibly buy something like that and not give it to me? Its me, its even made in Brasil" hehhe it was very funny. But she believed me, of course she should, so on my happy little way i went home with it! And a few other lovely fabrics ill show you soon. Lucky hey? Thanks mum x

Beautiful Brasil Fabric

Today was a wonderful day!!

I made this beautiful purse as one of many that will be going into my Etsy shop very very soon. I took lots of photos thinking I could list them today, but quickly realised that wasnt going to happen,  as I am sooo not a photographer.

Progress is good!

Hi all, what lovely rain we have had. My garden is gloriously GREEN. Thanks to my husbands constant attention also! Not so great for some, as parts of the Gold Coast have been flooded.
WHY do people still continue to cross flood waters? It baffles me. I think I have seen too much on floods this weekend. We watched a dvd on floods with our girls,  just to show them  that it can actually cause lots of devastation. ( This was after they spyied an amazingly huge puddle and wanted to play in it!! )The force of flooding waters are just incredible. It dosnt have to be deep in order to move things,  especially little people.

Anyway, lots of cutting was achieved in these rainy days. I made about 25 brooches. and 3 lovely purses. I will load some photos on here tonight when Marconi gets home as im not having much luck with this area on my new toy!!

First entry for the big 2010

O Im terrible at  this blog stuff. My intentions are so so grand, but getting around to it just never comes often enough. I have a new Lap Top and I am still finding my way around it, so bear with me and ill be able to get some more lovely photos on here for you to admire. But for now, all my OS friends,  you can have a little look at our Beautifull Koala from Down Under.

Some fabrics for purses

Mylittle Humble snippets

Hello all, I have just returned from 5 weeks in Brasil and am feeling wonderfully refreshed and ready to rock your worlds with 'Mlittle humble'.

It was my first trip to meet my husbands family, and it truly was amazing. I have posted a pic of my beautiful husband and I at a gorgeous beach called, 'Prai de Tambaba'. Everything about it was just incredible. I'm sure I was Brasilian in a past life!

Missing in action again!

My Kitchen

Hilarious, I should have maybe cleaned up the kitchen before I took this. I just love the colours in this pic and couldn't resist though!

More corners of my home

To share or not to share?

I have struggled all along with whether or not I put photos of my children on this blog. They are so gorg its hard not too. But I have found that every time I go to post one of them, I get a not so nice feeling deep down in my tummy. So ....I am busting still, but have decided a compromise. I don't really want to Share my kids with the world......but I am willing to give you little snippets of them, whilst still protecting their identities. SO thats what I have done with the last two pics....hope you enjoy them.

This photo was taken back a few years ago at Sea World. I love it....Camila and Estella, little sisters are fun she used to say. Not anymore!!

I couldnt go past this one of Camila's Fairy outfit she got last year for her 5 years on earth.....Heavenly

Bad Blogger!

Well I'm officially the worst blogger. I actually forget about it, until my friend Sarah says, "Moni, update your blog, Ive been dropping into check it, and there is nothing new"....oops sorry Sarah. This one is for you, ill go and find something exciting to put up(found my charger) and ill be back.

Another one of my favourites. This piece was an Old place mat. Its Paint on linen. Beautiful. Finished off with an Antique brass coloured frame.
