What I have been up to this week - blogtoberfest day 21
Another week has zoomed by!
And I got a bit of this'n that done!
How about you? did everything go according to plan?
Any surprises or excitement this week?
As I mentioned earlier my daughter and I have started a fitness pledge - an so far this week I have been for a 1 hour walk, a 2 hour bike ride, a 1 and 1/2 hour buswalk and today I did 45 minutes of yoga from this on-line site.
My 1 hour walk took me round Glenbrook Lagoon, which has lots of waterlilies and weed in it at the moment.
A part of the lagoon reserve has been recenlty burnt - what a shame.
And leaning over a fence from a house bordering the lagoon - a mulberry tree.
I've had quite a few earrings orders via madeit this week and I like to use stickers on my parcels, but I am running out of the ones I'd bought.
However I'd also bought some from thankyou tags from kokovanilla, but wanted them to be stickers.
But wait! I remembered a gadget I'g bought a while ago from a craft show - the Xyron create-a-sticker gizmo!
Then - voila! I had cute little thankyou stickers.
One of my favorite local walks is along an old fire trail at Valley Heights -
It was a beautiful day and starting to warm up.
The best of the flowers had gone - but the ferns were unfurling -
and there was a whole bank of Flannel flowers at one spot.
I have even found time to make some things with my new beads ...and a few oldies thrown in -
I just love these acid green crackle beads.
First I combined them with vivid orange then something a bit more subtle - with cornflower blue agate and some stripey lampwork cubes.
Whic one do you like the best?

My week - a birthday, a bay and bracelets.
What a lovely week!
Our beautiful daughter turned 21 this week and we travelled to Wollongong to celebrate with her.
We went for a picnic and found this fabulous bay which looks perfect for snorkelling.
We'll be back!
Then there was dinner and of course cake!
It's a double layer mud cake - uses 4 big blocks of chocolate - Oh, the decadence!
A small amount of creativity has been going on.
I've been making some cards which I forgot to take photos of.
And these bracelets which I made from some beads donated by Sue of metal and stone. These will go into the free goody bags which we give to customers at our craft collective The Nook at Leura, during the annual Leura village fair.
This afternoon it stopped raining enoughto go out for a little walk to a local lookout.
On the way the sulphur-crested cockatoos were enjoying a snack -
When we got to the lookout it looked like there was more rain on the way.
And there were lots of flowers out, including this Isopogon.
How was your week?
