Sunday Shadow Shot #54

Well my hubby went along to the A1 GP a couple of weekends ago and as our house seems motorbike mad at the moment (I am kinda out voted 3 to boys to 1 so I guess I better get use to it) I thought I would share one of the pics he took for my SSS...

Shadow Shot Sunday # 44

Hi Everyone,

Well it isnt official yet, but it sure feels like Spring has Sprung in our part of the world!!

The trees are starting to blosom, the days are getting warmer and the birds are busy building their nests getting ready for the arrival of their young.

This morning, my 3 boys and I decided to check out Witches Chase Cheese Factory for a spot of breaky, their new premises are very cool. I also like this little guy who is this weeks shadow shot.

Made from old iron he is certainly a individual character, Master L just couldnt stop trying to pat him and then commenting that he was a bit sharp and he needed a bath! :-)

For other cool shadow shots visit Hey Harriet.

Check out the post below from Bel and help her out with some ideas for keyboard "words".

Hope you all have a great weekend and that the weather is beautiful where you are too.

Shadow Shot Sunday #37

Well its been a dark gloomy week around here, so I have had to go to the archives for this one.

A few weeks ago I was trying to teach Sax all about shadows and showing him how to make funny little animals on the side of the house but his 2 year old attention span was short lived and I couldn't even get him to hold his hand near mine long enough to get the camera ready... O'h well I am sure the time will come, he's mastered using plastic scissors this week and is fascinated by cutting up the junk mail (and anything else laying around the house) :)

Hope next week brings some bluer skies, take care and don't forget to checkout all the other amazing shadow shots over at Hey Harriets

Sunday Shadow Shot #35

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all those mum's out there, hope you got spoiled rotten by your loved ones and go to spend some time with those closest to you...

I know I have been ever so slack on the blogging front the last few weeks but hopefully that will change soon. Sax is starting Daycare one day a week tomorrow. I feel sick at the thought of it, but I know it is something he needs and it will really do him (& me) some good I think. I have just packed his bag and covered his scrap book (I felt like a real mum, how exciting) so he is all set to go (I will keep you all posted)

The move into the new house has gone well and I promise I will post some pics soon (I just downloaded about 120 from my camera, so as soon as I have the time I will do a proper post), promise ;)

This week my SSS shot is of Sax playing on his swing set (Brad's mum came to stay for 2 nights and Sax had her wrapped around his little finger, so now all he wants to do is be pushed on the swing) I have been trying to teach him how to swing his legs back and fourth to keep momentum but I think he likes being pushed much better (little bugger!)

Don't forget to go and check out the other amazing Shadow Shots at Hey Harriet's and also pop into the BrisStyle Blog to check out this months latest giveaways :)

Have a great week, Bel x

Shadow Shot Sunday #33

Well, I have SO much to tell you all but not enough time :( We have had a very hectic last few weeks moving into our new house (it has all been very exciting) and I am dying to show you all some pics...

But I will keep this one short and just show you this weeks 'SSS'. Saxon has been an absolute angel throughout the whole move/packing/unpacking etc (sometimes I think he handled it better than us) and the other day he was sitting quietly play with some toys when I noticed the fantastic shadow this little transformer was making on the concrete

Enjoy.... and don't forget to check out the other fantastic shadows over at Hey Harriets

Shadow Shot Sunday #31

Hi All
Here's a pic I took a few weeks ago at the wonderful Southbank Parklands swimming area. It is of Sax and his good friend Anouk having a wander after they had been swimming? I wish I was a bit closer to have heard what there conversation was about ;) I am sure Sax was trying to persuade Nouka to go and chase birds in the garden...

Fabric Stamping and a prototype Bag

I have been thinking that fabric stamping is very cool for a long time, so during the week, Lucas and I donned our smocks and got out a rubber stamp and some calico and my paints and made this lovely piece of hand-stamped fabric.

After he had gone to bed that night, and I was very tired, but couldnt sleep, I decided that I would make a bag out of the fabric as a test run for the one that I am making at our Brown Owl's meetup on Sunday. Here it is, fully lined, cute vintage button. A bit rough but I like it as it was made with heaps of love. Glad I tried it out too as the one I make on Sunday is for transporting all my Owlie loveliness to and from our catch-ups so I will have to make it a bit deeper to fit all the bits and pieces I need in there!

Have a good day and I will be back tomorrow for shadow shot.

I feel like I have accomplished lots today, Have made 2 loaves of banana bread and a batch of cornflake cookies are in the oven. My lovely Physio El is on her way up to fix my exscruciating hip/neck/back problem (which has been in turn causing a mega headache) and then it will be off to vote. Then we have some clients coming over for a meeting this afternoon. So another busy day! But I love weekends

See you all tomorrow for SSS

Shadow Shot Sunday #29

OK, sorry its so late but its been a busy day (weekend & week ;)

As Em mentioned we had the BrisStyle 1 year Anniversary catch up today and I was so lucky to get a beautiful Clutch Purse from Jade (wheresbeckybean) sorry it got dark to quickly and I couldn't get a good pic for you to see, but trust me Jade & Bec make some beautiful things (stay tuned for there latest creations, coming soon!!!!)

Anyway, back to it. Here is my Shadow Shot for the week, it was taken a few days ago on one of those glorious sunny afternoons sitting out on our front porch.

Shadow Shot #6

In keeping with my previous shadows I thought I should include another member of our family, our very old (14 years) and grey staffy named Jessie :) She was quite confused at what I was trying to do and was not complying with the original shot I had in mind of a full body shadow against the fence (plus Sax was trying to ride her like a horse) but I think you will agree she is a beautiful girl!To see more of the SSS shots make sure you visit here

Hope all the Dad's out there had a great Day!
Cheers Bel x

Sunday Shadow Shot

After being super slack I thought I better make the effort to add something to the EmBelISH Blog (so far I have let Em do all the work) so this week I said I would have a go at the SSS :)

The picture above was taken by my 4 year old nephew Ty (the budding photographer) of my little boy Sax playing in the shadows...
