Finished removing the plants. We did 4 trips to the rubbish dump
We'll grass this area, so our children have more room to play.
We celebrated Mr J's 10th Birthday (can't believe our baby has hit double digits)
My Mum offered to make a Birthday cake for Mr J
He jokingly suggested a Cinderella cake
Mr J has a quirky sense of humour
When he saw the cake he had the biggest smile.
Hubby's work dinner at Jun Japanese - Malaysian Cuisine at Wishart
The food was Delicious!!
Here's some of the dishes everyone tried. . .
Entree~ Pickled vegies
Reminded us of Kimchi
Fried tofu with chilli sauce
We also tried a Chicken Hotpot. One of my favourites!!
Chilli Crab
I'm not a big fan of crab. The sauce was good with rice
Chilli Prawns
Never thought I'd say it, however, we tried stingray
Forgot to take a photo. It tasted like fish
Green beans with Anchovies
Mee Goreng
My photo of Nasi Goreng disappeared. It was my favourite dish!!
Dessert~ Sticky rice
Yum!!
Dessert~ Red Ruby
My favourite of the desserts. Yum!!
Some other things we've done during my Hubby's holidays. . .
Cleaned out our boys bedroom, replaced their old bookcase with new metal filing cabinets in ripple black (less chance they can destroy them).
Shopping at Lorna Jane for me. I've been exercising since earlier this year and needed new workout gear. I've been doing a mix of TurboFire, using our treadmill and eating healthier. I've lost 17cm and 4.2kg. Here's a clip of my favourite TurboFire class {Fire 30}
We enjoyed Vietnamese for lunch this week.
Last year, I found a granny stripe blanket design on Pinterest Guess what? I decided to make one!!
The colours are delicious! It is soft and beautiful to work with
This is where I'm at with my 'work in progress' I wanted to try this design. I prefer it to the traditional granny square blanket.
I store my crochet yarn in a gorgeous Little Alligator drawstring bag
handcrafted by the lovely Jelaine.
For Mother's Day I made tissue pouches for family and friends
I made my tissue pouch out of my favourite 'Flower Sugar' fabric
I only have a small piece of fabric left
I have been wanting to decorate our outdoor table for a while. This week I bought cute white pots, Viola's in a sunshiny yellow and dark purple, a pale green dish from Daiso (to catch any wax from the candle) and a beautiful Zanzibar lantern from Bunnings. A little piece of Happiness!
With my pocket money I purchased some clothing from Wanderlust. I have admired Trish's handmade gorgeousness for a while. Here's what I bought. . .
