our weekend

Saturday we all headed off in the car to various destinations .... emma, my mum and i dropped the boys and poppy off at the boat show and then we headed onto the sewing and craft expo. we arrived before the doors opened and waited about 5 minutes before entering. there was so much to see and do but with an 18mth old tagging along we needed to work fast to see everything.

we managed to walk up and down each of the isles and stopped at various stalls to grab some goodies .(i was so excited to finally find the lace that i have been searching for for quite a long time) before Miss Emma decided that she had had enough. we snuck back to a few of the stalls to grab some last minute things.

i love the little stash of goodies i grabbed and am going to have so much fun creating some handmade goodness with them

Sunday was spent out in the gardens, weeding, pruning, planting and chopping ... all the fun things that need to be done to keep the place looking nice. Mitchell and Emma were great little helpers and it was decided that a treat was needed .... so on the way to the dump we stopped off at the bakery where everyone got a surprise (even mummy and daddy)

then it was off to mum and dads for a bbq lunch to celebrate dads birthday tomorrow.

hope your weekend was as eventful and enjoyable as ours.

Camping and a crochet pattern

This past weekend we packed up the car and headed off to our favourite camping ground at Cotton Tree. We left as soon as I had finished care on Friday and were set up before the sun went down.

The rain held off until late Friday night and when we woke on Saturday it appeared to be set in.

There was fish and chips, a little girl with a teething temp, swimming, rain, catching some big waves, footy on the sand, pancakes, guess who, bacon and eggs, more rain, crochet, a rock phobia, no photos, a very tired mummy and some more rain.

Even though the rain came and stayed and everything got wet, we had a great time.

As promised, here is the pattern I use to make these cute little crochet flowers ...

ch 2

Rd 1: work 6sc into the 2nd ch from hook

Rd 2: work 2sc in each stitch around, join with sl st (12sc)

Rd3: ch 2, skip a stitch (sc in next stitch, ch 2) repeat 5 times join with a sl st (you should have 6 ch2 spaces)

Rd4: work (st st, ch2, 3dc, ch2, st st) into each ch2 space around (6 petals)

Fasten off and weave in ends

I hope you enjoy creating these adorable little flowers and using them to decorate your scrapbooking pages, cards etc....

Hope you all have a great day .... I will be back tomorrow with a sneak peak of our new Easter singlets.

Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday is all about letting the picture speak for itself ... the picture should not need an explanation .... so here goes ...

My very first Wordless Wednesday Picture .....

Enjoy ... she sure did xoxox

Make Over ....

My Heart Flutters has undergone a make over .... what do you think .... hoping it is a little easier to navigate.

It has been a while since we have posted on this blog ... it seems to get forgotten with all the other stuff that goes on ... facebook, pinterest, completing orders, housework, children's after school commitments ... etc etc.

I am aiming to make blogging a more regular thing .... Baby steps first ... maybe one blog post a week and hopefully increasing to two to three.

I would love to participate in the Wordless Wednesday Challenge that I have seen floating around ... so stayed tuned for that.

You may find some stories on here that do not grab you ... but please pop back from time to time as you may find something that does.

Till next time xoxox
