Yummy Fabric!


Well yesterday I went shopping for fabric for my baby blanket project. This will be my first project and I am so excited about making something for my little baby. I have had my sewing machine for a year and have used it once...oh how sad:) But thats going to change! I have booked a sewing lesson for next week so should be good to go from then! So happy with the price of the lesson too its FREE! I bought my machine there and even though it was so long ago they are still going to give me my free tutorial! How cool is that!

AARRGGHHH No sleep!



Well I have 4 weeks to go as of today. Here is a pic of my giant belly (giant for me hehe). NO sleep last night my hips no longer stay in socket. Cant wait to meet our new little baby!

Ummm...ok then??


Well this morning coming back from town I saw a joey on the side of the road. This little guy has been there in the same spot for 5 days now. So I tell hubby to pull over, the poor thing looked like he was in so much pain (like a 100 year old with arthritis). When he was still we could see he had been burnt up the arms and legs. Due to his size and my current condition there was no way we could put him in the car..So the next best thing was to call RSPCA which I did as soon as I got home. They put me on to a wildlife carer in the area (they connected the call). She was the rudest human I have ever come across! She said "whats the problem?" I told her the details and she went on to say that she was waiting for visitors and would come later in the afternoon..I said that's fine he is eating and has been there all week. She then tells me I should go wait with him until she gets there, I told her that was not possible and I asked how long she thought she might be.
Well she then went on to tell me that if they drive up here (40mins) from town it will be to destroy him as they don't have the facilities to care for him..I said are you not a wildlife carer???? She said that WC's have to pay for all expenses fuel and vets etc out of there own pocket so they best she could do was destroy him...What the heck!?! So I hung up on her at this point as she was yelling at me and making NO sense! Why on earth would someone become a wildlife carer if they felt that way?? So I rang RSPCA back reported her and they sent someone else..Thankfully!!

Time for action!

Ok, so I have been meaning to do this for a while but just didn't know where to start. I am hoping this blog will help inspire me to put some ideas I have regarding sustainable living into practice. I want my children to be able to experience a long and happy life on this earth, and want to teach them how to do their part in looking after it.
Thanks to my DH Luke my environmental conscience has been heightened to places I never really wanted to go~hehe! Now I am aware I have no choice but to do what I can, right? So I am going to start small and work my way up showing my kids as I go. I intend to add these ideas as I have them to my blog. It would make me very happy if just one person gets some inspiration from this and starts doing the same.
I used to keep a diary, but since I am spending more and more time on the internet figured this would be a perfect replacement.
