Chest of Drawers Update

This is another project I've been meaning to do for ages, & I have finally completed :)  I wanted to give our old drawers an update because they have always been too high for bedside tables & they were looking a bit past it.  So, with the help of my boys I went like a crazy person a couple of Saturday's ago & sliced them down, sanded & undercoated them, repainted them with a couple of coats of semi gloss enamel in Hogs Bristle (although it appears lighter than I thought it would be), sanded them back a little to reveal the original colour, cut out (using jigsaw) new French style front mouldings to go between the legs, & finished them off with new knobs from local store 'ginger & co'. I didn't get it all done in 1 day.  I went like a crazy person on the monday as well!  Here are some pics;

Effervescence Cardi & Bag

I've currently got my latest design for mini mae knitwear the Effervescence Cardi & Bag in testing.  This is always a great (though scary sometimes!) process.  It should be ready for release in early August.  I'm also working on a top-down cardi for Ulani at the moment.  I need to get a move on, otherwise winter will have passed before she has had a chance to wear it!  Still, I'm knitting size 6, so it should be right for next year anyway.

Godspell

Me in the opening of Horsham Arts Council's Godspell 

Today marks the beginning of the second weekend of Horsham Arts Council's production of Godspell.  If I haven't already said so somewhere(which I think I have) I'm in it!!  We're having a great time doing this show.  It has a small on-stage cast of 10, a 4 piece band & 5 backing vocalists.  It just has the best vibe!  We recieved a standing ovation on opening night, which I'm pretty sure is rare :)  The band, is just fantastic & I can say that because they're my friends (& one brother-in-law)!!!!  I've put in some pics of the show, taken by our local paper The Wimmera-Mail Times.  If you're local, get your tickets now, so you won't miss out!

mini mae website under maintenance

www.minimaeknitwear.com.au is currently unavailable because of a hosting changeover.  This will be corrected shortly, so sorry for any inconvenience.  I've been in the process of working on a pretty lace work cardi which is worked bottom-up & is seamless.  It's a bit more involved than usual, because of the patterning, but I think it will be gorgeous when it's finished.  So keep an eye out for that one!

update:
minimaeknitwear.com.au is up & running smoothly!!

My Baby's @ School

Last Friday saw the beginning of a new chapter in my life, as my last little munchkin headed off to school for her first day.  Well, first half day for our school.  I don't feel sad- maybe I will when the days are full ones next week.  She's with me today because Preps have a full day off on Wednesdays for nearly all of first term.  I'm enjoying having her pottering around without the others harasssing her (this causes a lot of screaming!).  We've painted her nails (natural, but I'm not sure it's good for a school girl but.....it's quality time, and we're about to go & bake a cake for Busy Bees playgroup which starts up tomorrow.  I'm running that with the help of my sister & a friend.  It's going to be fun!!!
