Embroidered Buttons…

You may have noticed a button swap badge over on the right —> (if you visit my actual blog, and not just in your reader).

Well, I (finally) finished my buttons, and they’re sent of to my partner in the USA! Kim, my partner asked me to make some Australian themed buttons, and that’s what I tried to do! I’ll give you a little explanation on each button.

Top, left -> right.

Kanagroo. Where I work, there are kanagroos EVERYWEHRE. Our offices are at the Universtiy of the Sunshine Coast and they lazy around in the lawns, and in the school next door.

Uluru. I’ve never been, but would love to visit.

Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. I hate going to Sydney, BUT it’s where most people think of when they think of Australia, so I put it in…

Bottom, left -> right.

Gumnuts. They are perfect for crafts, or just to sit in a vase! Our house has lots of gumnut trees around us.

Cricket. Before I got married all I knew about cricket was that Australia was really good at it, and that lots of people played it in their backyard. Then I got married and Luke wanted to WATCH it. On the TV. On Boxing Day! Crazy…

The Beach. I live near(ish) to the beach. It’s lovely.

Also, you might remember my little creative challenge- to do something creative every day. Well, I’ve been doing it (almost) every day for a while now, and my tumblr is looking pretty with all the photos of creative stuff. Feel free to have a look!

AND if you haven’t done my little survey yet, there’s still time! I really aprecaite everyone taking the time to do it- it’s given me lots of insight into what you all want and read my blog for!

What A Weekend!

Phew. The long weekend is over. It was SO enjoyable, and JAM PACKED full of awesomeness. This post is just some photos of the weekend gone by. Some photos are just iPhone pics, but others are ones I’ve tried to do well.

Hope you enjoyed your long weekend if you were in Australia, and if you’re part of the Commonwealth, then I hope you have a great Queen’s Birthday holiday when it comes around!
