Every day…

T'lia — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 02:21:52 +0000

It’s those things we do each day that make up who we are. I’ve told you what I think about all of this before, about how if something is important to us then we need to make an effort to do it each day, to show that it’s a priority to us.

So here are three things I do each day:

1. Do something creative

2. Kiss my husband

3. Have a cup of tea

What are three things you do each day? Come on over to Hello Owl and share!

Seasons of Life…

T'lia — Mon, 03 May 2010 13:58:37 +0000

In my short (almost) 23 years of life, I have been throough a few different seasons.
Here are just a few of my more favourite seasons…

My childhood: here I learnt to be creative, enjoy life, the importance of family…

Married life (current season): Here I’ve learnt, and am still learning, about patience, love, forgiveness, responsibility, joy.

Pepper (current season): Here I’m learning about responsibility, helplessness, unconditional love, happy tears.

Uni (the first time round): Here I learnt about resilience, teaching, passion, eLearning, adaptability, friendship.

Embroidery

T'lia — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:52:04 +0000

I’ve been working on three new embroideries, which will be Christmas presents for Luke’s Nonna, Luke’s Nanna and Pa, and my Nana.

Luke’s Nonna doesn’t celebrate Christmas, so technically this is just a random gift, which I will happen to give her when we see her on Christmas Day… She’s really into the Hebrew Roots things, like us, and so I made her this “Shalom” embroidery, which is basically Hebrew for “Peace” Wikipedia has a pretty good explanation of the complexities of Shalom…

For my Nana, I made “Love” and for Luke’s Nanna and Pa I made “Family”. Hopefully they like them!

I have a questions for you all, do you think people would be interested in buying embroidery kits? With the Calico cut and the design drawn on it, the pellen for the back, and one (possibly two) coloured embroidery threads? Needle wouldn’t be included. I was thinking I could do “Christmas” “Love” “Joy” “Peace” as well as people’s names… if you think it’s the kind of things you would buy, or if you know people who might get it, let me know, and I’ll put some in my store!

Two Years

Luke. Thanks for the last two years. You’re the best husband a girl could ask for.

Stamp…

Robot Love...

What do you think of the stamp I made? It’s a little rough- but really small! Which is why the detail is not so much there…

The Robot Love design is copied off something I found on my searches across the inter-webs, and thought I would try and replicate it. Does anyone have any other ideas of things I could make into stamps?! I’m making some love birds on a tree branch for Carmy’s wedding, which will be super cute…

My Dad…

T'lia — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 21:59:41 +0000

My dad has four children, and one wife. He’s my boss, and my protector ( I have a few of them!).

He’s smart, caring, and loving.

Here we are, from youngest to oldest. I know I’m a few days late, but Happy Father’s Day!

Gifts, Glorious Gifts!

This is Challenge 13 of Blog This.

Do people think you’re hard to buy for or are you constantly dropping hints? What’s on your ultimate gift list? If you were to write a list of 5 things that would be on the list of perfect presents for your next birthday what would they be? Would it be a particular thing or anything from a particular store/shop? An
experience or something with pretty bows? Practical or whimsical?

I’m going to be heaps practical about this. Not cause my birthday is any time soon, but because CHRISTMAS is just a few short months away. My FAVOURITE time of year!!

1. Spotlight voucher. Yes! fabric, craft supplies, scarpbooking, knitting… it’s all there! A few hundred dollars would be perfect…

2. Embroidery threads. I know that sounds kinda boring, but didn’t you hear?! Embroidery is my new thing!! I need to stock up on some more colours…

3. Walls. Okay, so this one isn’t so practical, but I have heaps of stuff I want to put on the walls, and just no wall space really left! (P.S my newest thing I’m doing is framing small embroiderries and putting them up on the wall!

4. Photos Printed… you know I love scrapbooking? And I’m working on my travel scrapbook from Jan/Feb at the moment, but I have HUNDREDS of photos that I need printed from post-schoolies week (2004) to well, now. The earlier part of my life is already scrapbooked. So if all those could just get printed out for me, that’d be great!!

5. Suprise me! As much as I love getting what I want, I really, truly, madly, deeply (Oh GOD, Savage Garden moment…*shakes head in shame*) love SUPRISES!!! They’re my favourite, and really make an gift giving time special!!

Gardening & Birthdays…

T'lia — Sun, 24 May 2009 06:06:57 +0000

Did you know I’m part of an apron swap? We’re making garden aprons! I am nearly finished mine- I’ve got the basic apron shape done and just have to put on some ties, and some pockets! I was thinking about it today, and was therefore inspired to go out and do a bit in my own garden!

Remember when Luke made me my super pot? Well, since then I’ve planted up all my other herbs into tyres (as well as some in the pot Luke made), and straberries and what not in the back garden bed. Nanna gave me a stack of beautiful cane mulch for Christmas (I know, SHAME it has taken my nearly 6 months to do something with it!!), and while Luke is out shopping for my birthday presents (!!!) with Hay & Mon, I decided to invest the time is getting rid of weeds, and using up the much!

Also, it is my birthday on Wednesday, and Luke organised for my family and a few of our friends (unfortunately not all- it was pretty booked out) to go down to the Jazz club in Brisbane on Friday night. If you have not been (and live in QLD) then you MUST go, it is absolutely the best place ever!

And I love my Mum & Dad. They are so cute and in love, and it makes me happy to go out with them. I could seriously just chat with them for ages and not get bored.

Luke’s 21st Skydiving Adventure…

T'lia — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 08:38:14 +0000

Ages ago, when Luke turned 21 I probably promised to post up the video of him skydiving. Well, as of last night I finally got round to doing it (5 months after the event)!

So here you go, for your viewing pleasure: Luke’s Skydive!

She was given to me by an electrician…

T'lia — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 22:28:09 +0000

Nearly two weeks ago now it was my 21st birthday party. Luke took the time to write out a speech, and I really loved it. So I wanted to share it with you all here.

Talia is like…

A Light Bulb

she is bright
she lights up my world
I can press her buttons
she was given to me by an electrician

11:30pm

she’s always late

Chai Tea

she’s a little bit hippy
she warms me up
I feel relaxed around her
she’s so in right now

A Celebrity

everybody loves her
she’s absolutely beautiful
she has a great sense of fashion
I’m proud to know her

Blackjack

she’s exciting
she encourages me to take risks
she can be expensive
she’s 21

So I really loved this speech because people laughed during it, and smiled a lot, and I’m sure lots of girls were jealous that they weren’t married to the most amazing man in the world, who would give a beautiful speech like this.
