Monday Funday...On a Tuesday!!

It's that time again!! You know, the time in which i cant think of anything funny to write, so i steal Pinterest images and make you all gaze at the wit and charm of complete strangers for 5 mins...You're welcome :)

 

Seriously LOVE the last one!!  

Oh how i adore Pinterest!!!

I'd best go back to there now, you know, to prep for next weeks post and ummm....in case i missed stuff in all... :D

Monday Funday...on a Tuesday

I may be alone here, but Mondays aren't really a huge drag for me.  I don't have to go anywhere to work, the boys don't have anywhere they need to be.  Tuesdays...well they're more like Monday for me!  Lachy has Kindy, so right away i have to get dressed (which would be easier with my pinterest wardrobe, i'm sure), then there's the whole 'Grocery Day' thing, which requires writing lists and checking cupboards, which results in me needing to clean so i can actually see what we have.  It also means baking day...yep...i bake...

Ohk, so it's not really a busy day, but it's a fantastic excuse to create a wee ray of sunshine in the form of Pinterest and all the funny bits i find on there!!  So here ya go...you're welcome :)

Seriously, i could spend all day scrolling through funnies!....and inspiring quotes....and recipes....clothes....Sigh!  Time to go and get some ironing done...honestly, why do clothes still need to be ironed!??

Hmmm, can't think of a clever title...

So...i've been absent again...I should really just make that my stamp to start each post with!  Technically i haven't been completely absent, I've been lurking about finding time to stalk all my fav' blogs...and a few 30 others! 

And since i'm s'posed to be finishing up an order, i'm turning this into a 'to-the-point-in-bullet-point' type post!!

Let's begin!

# My kids ROCK!!  Lachy's just impressing the pants off me with his parroting!!  He's copying what we say, and his fav' movie, and he joins in all the actions on his wiggles dvd too (possibly he just watches Way too much telly) Olly's just a wee speedster, trying desperately to keep up with his brother.  I pulled the old trolley out of the garage last week, to see if he'd stand with it and he just took off across the lounge!!  Clever wee poppets!!

#  Hubbies been catering to my every Pinterest whim and our house and yard (a Whole other post there!) looks like a home!! 

Saw this on pinterest...Man i love pallets!! (It's hiding an ugly bit of MDF that's aiding the wall bracket) Still got to work on hiding the wires!

Saw this on Pinterest too (i spend WAY too much time on there!)  I realise they're around the wrong way, but it makes more sense to me this way!

#  Hands are healing slowly....very slowly.  The pain that i have now though is different, and temporary, so i'm happy!

#  First run this morning in my training for a half next year!! (Damn near died, but i made it in the end!)

#  Our cats still a weirdo.  That's all.

#  Going to check out a play group tomorrow!!  Ridiculously excited to be getting out of the house with the boys!! 

#  In desperate need of some wardrobe updating....Extremely (some may say 'obsessively') attached to my comfy old jeans and hoodies though!! (Paint and resin covered though they may be!)  Might be in need of a thrift store challenge...but i'll let ya know!

#  Added 2 courgettes from my garden to dinner tonight!!  So exciting to have our own produce!!

#  Trying to simplify everything at the mo', so any extra bitties that i don't have time for on my blog will be disappearing!!

So that's us for now!!  One day, many years from now, i will write a real post...Maybe!  Or maybe i should just rename my blog A Life in I-Post-Randomly-Land....

'Not all who wander are lost'

Inspire...

This week i needed a real kick up the bum to get moving!!  I've been having such a fun time (sarcasm central) with doubts and fears that i forgot the sheer joy that i am living!!  My AMAZING family, our beautiful home and our gardens slowly coming to life, Awesome friends, and my own little dream that i get to make real!!  So what else was there to do but hit up Pinterest for some 'pick-me-up-and-motivate-me' quotes!  (How on earth did i get by with out pinterest!?)

Love this guy!

Now it's time to go open up a can of Whoop-Ass!!....Jokes, it's actually bed time, but tomorrow me and that can are gunna take on the world!!

'Not all who wander are lost'

Pinterest....Nailed it....My way!

In case you all thought my Pinterest addiction had subsided, i thought i should reassure you good folk that it hasn't!  Iv been slowly stockpiling crafts (or amassing like an avalanche of epic proportions...you know, whatever you want to call it!) that i want to make/try, and have even been making the odd Pin to cross off the ole 40 before 40! 

Today, stuck at home sick with an even sicker toddler i figured hey, let's show the world how crafty i think i am!!  So here's my versions of a few Pinterest crafts that didn't fail epically!!
(I did mention that they were my versions right??)

First up is '52 Reasons'

source

My Version

 Made for Hubby's birthday!  I love the way it turned out, even though it took a lot more effort than i anticipated! (They look so damn easy on Pinterest!)

 Next up 'The dog box'

Source

My Version

Totally made the cushion too!lol!  It's a simplified copy, and i didn't make a name plate for it, but she still liked it! (And dont worry bout me cutting bits of wood, Hubby does that bit for me!)


'The Menu Board' was next

Source

My Version

Since i've already done a post on this i'm just repeating myself really, but i'm still loving the Menu board!! So long as we're being good it's doing wonders for our budget (and health too i s'pose!)  Please note i had a few different inspirations for my menu board, this was just the first one i ever found!


Then there was my fav' 'The Drawers'

Source

My Version

Please note, i Did Not make the drawers, i simply (bahahaha, simply, pffft!) remodeled them!!  And i must say, i'm jolly pleased with the outcome!!  So is Lachy! (Especially with the colorful drawer knobs!)  I know this is quite different, but it was more the named drawers that i liked, and i can't stand the thought of Lachy and chalkboards just yet (duck bumps!!)


And lastly (for now) 'The Plane Mobile'

Source

My Version

Did i mention that we're on an excessively tight budget at the mo'? (Or always) Who knew toy planes could cost so much!  So i know, it looks nothing like the Pinterest version, but it's still a mobile with planes on it (Thank goodness for the $2 shop) and Lachy just thinks it's the Best thing Ever!!

So that's my lot for now, hopefully next month i can regale you all with more tales of craftiness (or close to) from my 'Nailed it' section!!

Toodles!!  :)
