Friday it snowed in The Grampians, a lot, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it might snow up there once each year or every second year, but not usually this much,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so when it does, it's very exiting.<br />Mitchell was picked up Saturday morning by a friend and headed to Mount William,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while Peter and Nathan headed up to Boroka Lookout.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a beautiful sunny day and excellent to have snow so close to home.</div>

it was finally put together by the boys, then it sat for a while longer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we bought some chooks, and built a yard around it,</div>

so they could stretch their legs.</div>

Firstly - We Love This Place!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
An hour and a half drive from us is the town of Naracoorte, just over the border in SA.</div>

Last summer, on a stinking hot day, during a heat wave, </div>
<div align="center">
the boys and I could not stand to be cooped up inside with each other</div>
<div align="center">
for one more day - we needed to get out - desperately!</div>
<div align="center">
We decided on a day trip to the Naracoorte Caves, it would be nice and cool underground.<br />
We asked Mrs Google about Naracoorte Swimming Pool, </div>
<div align="center">
as we planned to pack a picnic lunch and check out their pool too.</div>

An image came up of a beautiful lake, apparently, this was the town pool, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we expected mud, reeds, maybe a yabby nip on the toe and to look out for broken glass.</div>

About a week ago, I took the boys over for 3 nights.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We stayed in the <a href="http://naracoorte-holiday-park.sa.big4.com.au/">caravan park</a> with another family from here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The caravan park is very well run, has a big new camp kitchen </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(that has a bbq inside which is ridiculous </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as it makes the lovely room fill with stinky bbq smoke and fumes),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mini train rides, a basic mini golf a games room </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a great grassy area for a game of cricket </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and its right next door to the lake,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the CBD is a 2 minute walk from the caravan park.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We went on a 1 1/2 hour trail ride at <a href="http://www.limestonecoasthorseriding.com/">Limestone Coast Horse Riding</a>,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the boys really, really, really loved this activity, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(our groups seven years old did not ride)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the staff were great and very thorough in their pre ride lessons,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the horses and equipment were in great condition </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and looked to be very well looked after.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I do know a thing or 2 about horses)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We will definitely be back</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last year when we went over on our day trips, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

it's just going to be bloody hot this week in The Wimmera,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so wanted to share this great spot to spend a 40+ deg day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because, it seems not many locals know about it.</div>
Let me know if you visit the lake this summer, might even see you there<br />

I sew a lot for my little shop,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but don't often get to make goodies for my boys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the firstborn's school pencil case burst at the seams</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to make a new one for him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The back...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Has an extra pocket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He loves it, he's grade 5 this year, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I always a worry about if he would still like things made by his mum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No need to worry at this stage, he "gets" handmade,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and so far, is not fussed about the whole brand thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm very glad that he has the confidence to not have to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have/wear and be like everyone else.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He picked out his fabrics and watched it take shape,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then off to school it went.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Boy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Mum</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like most mum's, I pack a lot of school lunches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I send rubbish free lunch boxes, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I peel and core the fruit as our compost benefits from all those scraps,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
rather than binning them at school </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8IGOyx2SE9OXifg2AEoxWZ3IuEyYb4oSgw4OwFqBuLoPULUjNhqbzJLK7uTDvpPYZIa3Dyq0X_kpNiLtYlN3-L79ezz0Uf-VdTl7-BxsOsWF0FS_QQpO8-2jAwLC-PrQP-SjIJCzKKHs/s1600/IMG_2652+(Medium).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8IGOyx2SE9OXifg2AEoxWZ3IuEyYb4oSgw4OwFqBuLoPULUjNhqbzJLK7uTDvpPYZIa3Dyq0X_kpNiLtYlN3-L79ezz0Uf-VdTl7-BxsOsWF0FS_QQpO8-2jAwLC-PrQP-SjIJCzKKHs/s640/IMG_2652+(Medium).JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, I wash a lot of school lunch containers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The boys are very good at not leaving their containers at school,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but, somehow, the lids of the smash snack tubes do go missing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was going to buy some more, then wondered if I could just get the lid's,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
rather than buying more containers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnIkIPDwQolxuTe2CigdRmbRsRo_lgpan79UlFx2nphX0KGr4OVsf0rlXt7dKIVFdKarm3vHteQKdeMQCrG3nn4jyLN-_f4xWpWXv_-y8XTaWXRR3R_6KBlgS8yMjxQhTIs6fNKn5arDQ/s1600/IMG_1479+(Medium).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnIkIPDwQolxuTe2CigdRmbRsRo_lgpan79UlFx2nphX0KGr4OVsf0rlXt7dKIVFdKarm3vHteQKdeMQCrG3nn4jyLN-_f4xWpWXv_-y8XTaWXRR3R_6KBlgS8yMjxQhTIs6fNKn5arDQ/s640/IMG_1479+(Medium).JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found them online at <a href="http://www.bonzoo.com.au/products/?ProductId=807">Bonzoo</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lids were 50c each and even with postage, it was cheaper than buying new containers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-cWZYj9g3_07aGKJANVbJQJYp5ZDjv-bNQT3uQWo7wP6hjlfj8PCYv2FQ2G-YNRz54ehxttcVgS1UXbcytUDR4wIif4luXeggTtBtiQtu56z15besma4koePk59hgEYdAqZWggAwK2BA/s1600/IMG_1481+(Medium).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-cWZYj9g3_07aGKJANVbJQJYp5ZDjv-bNQT3uQWo7wP6hjlfj8PCYv2FQ2G-YNRz54ehxttcVgS1UXbcytUDR4wIif4luXeggTtBtiQtu56z15besma4koePk59hgEYdAqZWggAwK2BA/s640/IMG_1481+(Medium).JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only thing was that the lids arrived in this huge box!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How can that be, it's just bloody ridiculous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I have my extra lids now, all ready for next term.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mitchell has been making these little snails out of Easter Egg wrappers,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he made them up himself and suggested he could put them on my blog </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so other kids could make them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This morning I took some pics, showed him how to use pic monkey</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and let him go for it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSK5uLuiuWcd7j7MtC_zv-6ByihBrCOqfxPCIJy_783gYaAgwdsOIr5ZuPqGppSRb-VP6GjphVDWffzjdUN5e7rfd0lxS1BVARW8dye3WJKLOEWwTQidwAeusFYFsuZhznZ5bGuFX9t38/s1600/IMG_4560.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSK5uLuiuWcd7j7MtC_zv-6ByihBrCOqfxPCIJy_783gYaAgwdsOIr5ZuPqGppSRb-VP6GjphVDWffzjdUN5e7rfd0lxS1BVARW8dye3WJKLOEWwTQidwAeusFYFsuZhznZ5bGuFX9t38/s640/IMG_4560.jpg" width="474" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found a tutorial on how to make </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://mermag.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/easy-bunny-candy-pouch.html">this sweet little Easter Gift Bag</a> and <a href="http://probablyactually.wordpress.com/2012/04/04/sleepy-bunny-goody-bags/">another beautiful sample here</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and had the urge to make one today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I printed off the template, and as I was cutting it out, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thought I might try making it out of brown paper </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
rather than the denim I had in mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here is my paper version.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>(The original in the above link on Merrilee's Blog is made of felt)</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg548dVfkP5p02ylcpwipEEtxkdNe36lXYbPnfly-DdXkYgnk26AtxjF57TN7aXGoLwzxubIr0FS_z9hU-Q0p9suUrSxMaEbrDli1bvxvBvBIdyYbdJfSecQiDVp7qbRGVYmZZieNOU91U/s1600/IMG_2396.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg548dVfkP5p02ylcpwipEEtxkdNe36lXYbPnfly-DdXkYgnk26AtxjF57TN7aXGoLwzxubIr0FS_z9hU-Q0p9suUrSxMaEbrDli1bvxvBvBIdyYbdJfSecQiDVp7qbRGVYmZZieNOU91U/s400/IMG_2396.jpg" width="385" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trace the template onto a double thickness of brown paper,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but do not cut it out.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-RqYsrib3x0bABc_byTZOM6XfWDSjlkCZTUwCUSg1MCNSkKsMY-SLU4WAcf4_Dt3DlsMA6CIQAppQ5v7e1FPMexyt-dgoyyRs-s3kU7yOjvLy82V27L3EKXueADPStm2lkWqnylm9oaU/s1600/IMG_2398.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-RqYsrib3x0bABc_byTZOM6XfWDSjlkCZTUwCUSg1MCNSkKsMY-SLU4WAcf4_Dt3DlsMA6CIQAppQ5v7e1FPMexyt-dgoyyRs-s3kU7yOjvLy82V27L3EKXueADPStm2lkWqnylm9oaU/s400/IMG_2398.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sew along the traced line, stitching both pieces of paper together, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but do not sew between the ears,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is where you will put the goodies in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimTjxXnnuttP2TQDP_Lv2Lj1_yJq8ikT3nsUNRcR9CMa1ACQ3L_p-jcRgEmcpHDv1BttrtokVjWruqnFUMet9j2uIkiPJVvZ3MloV-W_E8JhxIbPe4XlyQJ3cxvqhJwa6rOQe_QF60s3s/s1600/IMG_2401.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimTjxXnnuttP2TQDP_Lv2Lj1_yJq8ikT3nsUNRcR9CMa1ACQ3L_p-jcRgEmcpHDv1BttrtokVjWruqnFUMet9j2uIkiPJVvZ3MloV-W_E8JhxIbPe4XlyQJ3cxvqhJwa6rOQe_QF60s3s/s640/IMG_2401.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trim around the edge of the stitching, about 1/4 inch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can see from this pic, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you could also just use a paper bag and cut out the ears at the top.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV2k0OBPpgZGAfMFCThXY6r0dcZiPZYnAr0itKGloUoWE5QpKfljjdTspBWQC1rbzX8FckYCJIrMx-atPw1WmVdfiI7QlxsG3VDwLX9zqBasWir61nc6yDKkc92lYlnsr2ytSVFo8VYxA/s1600/IMG_2403.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV2k0OBPpgZGAfMFCThXY6r0dcZiPZYnAr0itKGloUoWE5QpKfljjdTspBWQC1rbzX8FckYCJIrMx-atPw1WmVdfiI7QlxsG3VDwLX9zqBasWir61nc6yDKkc92lYlnsr2ytSVFo8VYxA/s640/IMG_2403.jpg" width="488" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add some fabric onto the ears, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used heat n bond to adhere the fabric to the paper,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or you could use pretty paper or even washi tape</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPlVckYF5lfcFUyG0-lnx6RXocruLNAGwhbR1TUIKdNyUkRG0sCqVpnocYvaMmxerUGkC3JRL18gVHWDrP6AzDHTePLWPrUOSYSS4FdxWBjrYNBH_rTAHX8eoldbSyhpUPVJ1AOPOhHnw/s1600/IMG_2404.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPlVckYF5lfcFUyG0-lnx6RXocruLNAGwhbR1TUIKdNyUkRG0sCqVpnocYvaMmxerUGkC3JRL18gVHWDrP6AzDHTePLWPrUOSYSS4FdxWBjrYNBH_rTAHX8eoldbSyhpUPVJ1AOPOhHnw/s640/IMG_2404.jpg" width="483" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Find some treasure to put inside,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pop them in through the opening between the ears </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWaw1zmSOA5wQrVPw6qLfNamLUkUG_uc76ss7z_8jAUsuBS4_QgNwUAccpSMik7PgtIFPzGL6F3G50qUNqGDaDhwLvpdkxn2k0YSKEtfJVs2aN030W73VhmncvTs11obQ7TbDWCxiUPbM/s1600/IMG_2405.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWaw1zmSOA5wQrVPw6qLfNamLUkUG_uc76ss7z_8jAUsuBS4_QgNwUAccpSMik7PgtIFPzGL6F3G50qUNqGDaDhwLvpdkxn2k0YSKEtfJVs2aN030W73VhmncvTs11obQ7TbDWCxiUPbM/s640/IMG_2405.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Flex the ears, so the curve towards the front, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
gather up the paper and tie with some pretty twine</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This project was easy and nice and quick,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the gift bag would also look great </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
made from coloured paper or baking paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

This Hedgehog is always in our fridge or freezer,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it goes in lunch boxes most days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This recipe was given to me by my friend Simone, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it's a no fail, perfect Hedgehog (so far anyway, and I've made it a lot)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I thought I would share</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">You will need</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 pkt Marie Biscuits (broken up)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 pkt Marie Biscuits (crushed)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
250g Butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 heaped tbsp Cocoa</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 Eggs Beaten</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 tspVanilla</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3/4 cup Sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crush and breakup the packets of biscuits, place in a mixing bowl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Melt the butter, and take off the heat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mix in the sugar and cocoa, till dissolved.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add the beaten eggs slowly and whisk in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Return to the heat, stir and cook until hot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take off the heat and add Vanilla.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pour over the biscuits and mix until all is combined.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Press into a slice container, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I squash mine down with a potato masher to get a nice dense hedgehog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place in the fridge to cool and firm up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ice with your choice of icing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used to make icing, but sometimes it was too soft,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so now I always use the following for icing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Chocolate Icing</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Break up a block of Chocolate, (I use coles brand)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
place in a glass jug,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
add 2 tsp vegetable oil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Melt gradually in the microwave,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pour over the cooled, firm Hedgehog,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
add sprinkles if you wish. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Store in the fridge or freezer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtjIKv8mNbrYDX9tlbTn_S-5fYR2AGsxZWC3fad5Nvp8eWM9377d1jpPKLTbnMVpsge32qp5qgTeTXpm6TmTUWUq9IFYo-iXUQRnD91dA2Xny85OTzoVL0Sm8PBKpIkEYSLZX1bW7aMUM/s1600/P1140851+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtjIKv8mNbrYDX9tlbTn_S-5fYR2AGsxZWC3fad5Nvp8eWM9377d1jpPKLTbnMVpsge32qp5qgTeTXpm6TmTUWUq9IFYo-iXUQRnD91dA2Xny85OTzoVL0Sm8PBKpIkEYSLZX1bW7aMUM/s640/P1140851+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always line my container with backing paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I can easily lift the slice out to cut.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used to snip the corners so they sat nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, if you scrunch the baking paper up and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then lay it in the slice container, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
its sits down nicely in the corners</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just saying :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always make 2 batches of the Hedgehog at a time, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but, the icing recipe above is enough to cover 2 lots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a note I encouraged The Second Born to write a while ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A thankyou note after going to a party.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did'nt take long.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then a quick run across the road to the mail box to post it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last letter I recieved, was probably a few years ago,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it was from my grandmothers brother and his wife.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We met them back in the late 90's, when visiting Noosa.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started writting to each other, it was lovely to recieve hand written mail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you write letters?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I should prompt the boys to write more letters, even just notes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It really is a thing of the past, but so nice to recieve.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't think I have ever thrown out a pair of the boys gum boots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They get passed from big boy, to middle boy, down to small boy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even when they get a split in the bottom, or the lining comes loose,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for some reason, they just stay in the shoe box on the verandah.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been busy preparing for a garage sale,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I did not want the little boots sold, op shopped or tossed out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead, during the holidays, I let the first born drill some holes in the bottom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmTZnAs0QmP-2L0QLG6Jq4DiHcwmZUwS147Kv2V6J5V0ZW7JaB6-61ywJCapOyLUXObF-bspOizBMmgB5IVDwiJXuC8_uvXvXZOKJ3XfMNt4NYG6OzjbaNTqTGrGX6TljHbrZ-fKtwR7o/s1600/P1150064.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" nea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmTZnAs0QmP-2L0QLG6Jq4DiHcwmZUwS147Kv2V6J5V0ZW7JaB6-61ywJCapOyLUXObF-bspOizBMmgB5IVDwiJXuC8_uvXvXZOKJ3XfMNt4NYG6OzjbaNTqTGrGX6TljHbrZ-fKtwR7o/s640/P1150064.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then he filled them with some soil and compost</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTakf9ZgKsXtP6aR62-xbv6eg1MuYnEM1M9Be-CEFRlp3q3hHFPCcABim7TR-qNukFWP7yFxVRYvuajjjhGOG4YxmqI8wojovm28QuLA3tCY0M_FJ8DeUTcTk3gbMnyS6brYkD7-bixL4/s1600/IMG_2756.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTakf9ZgKsXtP6aR62-xbv6eg1MuYnEM1M9Be-CEFRlp3q3hHFPCcABim7TR-qNukFWP7yFxVRYvuajjjhGOG4YxmqI8wojovm28QuLA3tCY0M_FJ8DeUTcTk3gbMnyS6brYkD7-bixL4/s640/IMG_2756.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And planted some herbs and a few flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now we have a Boot Garden.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They make cute little plant pots,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there's still quite a few boots to be done,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he'll get to those another day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sneakily snapped this pic a few days ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can anyone please explain this fashion statement?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do your boy's wear their pants like this?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe you are reading this and you wear your pants this way...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is it comfortable to wear your pants like this?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you have to buy your pants a size smaller to wear them like this?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How do you actually keep them up?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is there a secret code in the wearing of them a bit higher or lower?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At least the guy on the left has fun jocks on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't wear my pants like this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will my boys wear their pants like this?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the words of the delightful Mrs Brown...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feckn hope not. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe I should have just asked</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I was too feckn chicken</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you have any info on this trend?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Back in February, I had a client, Christine request a custom made Bunting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in navy, natural and baby blue for her new bub.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqM5lG0AoGDgx6bSRgPRBf-HpD8XY9SsP59wlLgP3GfF7NuLh7ucKf0Rd9YOAtVEK0vq_VgerBc0UXynoicgkBUTuwdrEVFDSZri_VIktDOLBR5Kf6RtisM5J-Vo_pUoYXe7sUwjvmfr0/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqM5lG0AoGDgx6bSRgPRBf-HpD8XY9SsP59wlLgP3GfF7NuLh7ucKf0Rd9YOAtVEK0vq_VgerBc0UXynoicgkBUTuwdrEVFDSZri_VIktDOLBR5Kf6RtisM5J-Vo_pUoYXe7sUwjvmfr0/s640/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then Bub arrivednot long ago, and Christine asked if I could make a matching cushion?</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Could it have piping?</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I learnt how to make piping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then Christine thought it would be great to have a co-ordinating Santa Sack.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really love this colour combination for a baby boy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
A big thanks to Christine for making my day - I love creating <a href="http://www.madeit.com.au/storecatalog.asp?userid=1135">ZippyZippy</a> products!</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keeps me sane in this house full of boys.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There has been only a little bit of creating going on at </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ZippyZippy HQ the last 2 weeks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 boys home on holidays. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first husband has also been on holidays this week, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he's been put to work on a major declutter which is well overdue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However - I did have a lovely young lady visit,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she is a very lucky 9 year old that now has her own sewing machine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her mum has not been feeling well, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so we got to work to make a couple of bookmarks for a cheery get well gift.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sliced scraps, she sewed them together and I pressed seams.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Miss 9 was happy with her creations, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was happy to have some girly company and able to squeeze in some creative time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a shot I capured at The Horsham Show today,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The eye of a beautiful Clydesdale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Many years ago, I was very lucky to ride one regularly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was younger, I spent some time living on Magnetic Island,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my job - which was hardly called work,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was to take tourists for horse rides, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
through the rainforest and along the beach,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then take the tourists and their mounts into the water for a bareback swim.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lodge had many horses, amongst them was Clyde, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a lovely gentle giant Clydesdale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was the favourite of all the staff,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he loved the water, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he was like a giant rocking horse when he was swimming</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the only pic I have of Clyde,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thats me riding him to round up the other horses in the morning</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
those were the days....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
