Happy Australia Day!!!

Happy Australia Day everyone!!

We are lucky enough to have some wonderful friends who really love to celebrate Australia Day each year- there is the usual BBQ, beach environment ( a shack, {which is an architecturally designed home} right onto the beach at dodges ferry), they organise themed games for the kiddies, and we all contribute and have an absolutley fantastic day!!!!

We cant wait!!!!! Just need work to be over for the day and we are high tailing it down!!!

Do you celebrate Australia Day?  What do you do?

A sweet little break!!

Hello all- I hope you are all very well!

We have enjoyed a very nice break from things over here at Silver Nutmeg Designs HQ- I hope you have too!

My thoughts and prayers are with all of those who have been affected by the floods around the country particulary in QLD- where a lot of my relatives are at the moment!!

It is so heart warming to see all that the online community is doing to help!!  We as a family have decided to donate via both our bank and at our local Coles supermarket.

I have some fun things keeping me very busy at the moment, as well as two children on school holidays and one child moving house, however I have some really, really exciting plans for where to take silver nutmeg designs for 2011- more on that later I promise.

For a couple of sweet, sweet ladies who are waiting on their orders to be delivered I promise they are not far away- I had a small health hiccup that also put a bit of a hold on progress- however I am sure that has passed and I am now on the mend!!

Some images that I have found very inspiring to get back in and revamp my HQ room for 2011.

A New year means new plans, new ideas, new fun, new things to be discovered!!

I have always loved the idea of a new year- a clean slate to start a fresh with or just bring new ideas to the old plan.  It always seems so exciting and full of promise and dreams!!!

The past week or so has been delightful here at silver nutmeg HQ- we have had the best time with family and friends and I feel truly blessed and SO very lucky for having such amazing awesome people in my life!!

A few quick pics of some stuff at our place- as I want to get back to kiddies and teach Indy how to finger knit.

Funny note too:: after a Christmas night get together with an awesome bunch of folks- we got on to the topic of what we used to do as kids and part of this was string style origami I guess : you know about a meter of wool tied up into a loop and then you use your fingers and thumbs to make "rocket", whiskers, bridge, Eiffel tower, cup and saucer, parachute etc.... any how my kids have spent the past 4 days between mastering all these  and playing basket ball- loving it old school style!!!  New Years is teaching them "elastics"!!
