In the News Today

Now this just annoys me:

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/natural-disasters/news/article.cfm?c_id=68&objectid=10678614

We are a very young country and have been trying for so long to keep the old historic items and we just have no luck.

This makes me sick:

How could anybody do that to another person.

I hope these parents are making these items private:

Anybody could use the images and details of their children.

This makes me smile:

I will have to take the kiddies to the zoo to see them when they are here.

Just felt like a tiny rant, so there it is!

Summer is coming

Summer is one of my favourite seasons. No, it is my favourite season. I love the evenings being hot and the days being hot. I love how blue the sky gets during the day and then the orange/red/purple variations it can make in the evenings. I love spending time outside with my friends and family and I love the beach, which is never as lovely in the winter. I love going on picnics and adventures. I love the sun!

Let’s Get Crafty

For a couple of years now I have been making birthday cards on the computer for a few of my friends when I have time and advanced warning. I love doing crafty things and always try to but never seem to “find the time” but this year I managed to make some cards instead of just making them on the computer. One for Lorren towards the beginning of the year and I have just finished one for Jenna who’s birthday is next month.  I never got a photo of Lorren’s one, but here is Jenna’s. (Sorry it is a wee bit blurry)

Jennas Card

I am finding it therapeutic to sit on the ground (I like to say I am closer to nature sitting on the ground than I would be sitting at a table) and be crafty, even if it is just for an hour here and there. My biggest down fall is that the majority of my “crafty” projects can take ages due to my need to be a crazy perfectionist for selective things only.

When I get my own house I plan to have a room in it dedicated to crafts and sewing. I also want to decorate every room in the house, paint all the walls, have some cool patterns on the walls, have some of the rooms with painted roofs.

I have so many dreams but for now I am just going to focus on my “Become an amazing crafty person” dream and then we can work on the house thing.
