Mondays Thoughts - Winter is definitely here, coming to the end of term and pinterest....

My hazel eyed boy sat at the table and said there is only 87 days left of school mum.... My heart skipped a beat because even though I will be excited for him that all this hard work will be over and he will get to have a well deserved break that means my little boy will be finished school forever...  He definitely makes being a mum of a 16 year old a very easy job.... These images are when his friend Kasia came over to help with his last batches of  macaroons...He has his last fundraiser tomorrow and will hopefully hit his target of $700 for Barbs Home of Angels.

I spend a little time each day looking at gorgeous images and beautiful quotes on pinterest and yes I am a dreamer ....

The end of this year is looking like one of the most exciting for my business and me  in general... Can't wait to share ...  A few new charms in stock, gorgeous Sweet Pauls kids edition arrived today in STORE and I am working at finding and creating new stock all the time.....
I hope that you have a beautiful last week of autumn because Winter is definitely on its way......

“It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

Monday Thoughts - Studio move, my hazel eyed boy, in store and a little pretty inspiration.....

I have been talking seriously with my hazel eyed man about swapping our bedroom with my studio.... We are on a very strict budget this year and when I moved my studio into my hazel eyed girls old bedroom I didn't realise how bad the lighting was and I have only one electrical socket....and I don't want to spend any money so my easiest solution was to move rooms ....plus I have fun doing it ......

It is and has already been a crazy last year of school for my hazel eyed boy...He spent the weekend working on another 200 or so macaroons for another fund raiser tomorrow { plus making some timber carved trophies with his dad to try and get some pocket money for europe}.... This semester he is also doing uni and I can promise you I am not one of those mums that push my kids to do anything, when he gets an idea he just runs with it no matter what (he may have got a little of that trait from me)  On the 18th and 19th of this month he will be involved in relay for life raising money for the cancer council.... You can sponsor him here

My beautiful hazel eyed girl is pushing her way through a very hectic first 4 months of the year and goes on prac for uni on the 13th for three weeks...She is very blessed to have some dear friends at uni that keep her sane....

I released a few new charms yesterday in my store.  and I only have a couple left so go and take a look .....
