prep graduation

Today Hannah graduated from prep - where has the year gone?! I know she's no longer such a little kid because I have seen her confidence grow day by day. They gave out graduation certificates to commemorate the event. I was either to slow or Hannah was too quick for me - I only managed to catch a glimpse of her running off with the certificate - could this be a premonition for the future?

sabrena and the singaporeans

My friend Sabrena saw the pictures of the things I made on facebook and she showed it to her friends. She's on her way to Melbourne to visit some family, so she and her friends put in an order so I can post it over to Melbourne to save on international postage.
It was an interesting experience to sew on demand. The order wasn't overly large, but it still saw me stressed out. But I finally got the order ready and sent out last Saturday. She should receive it by late this week - I hope!

kenilworth auction

My in-laws have finally sold their farm of 15 years after it being on the market for nearly a year. About three Saturdays ago, they had an auction for all the stuff they can't fit into their new little house. Which means to say, they sold almost the entire contents of their old house.
I gave Hannah the old digicam to have a go at being photographer for the day. She didn't manage to take pictures of the whole auction as she's only five and there were hundreds of people milling about - I wasn't about to let her out of my sight! - but she had fun nonetheless.

pifah's baby

My friend Pifah is expecting her first baby in December and she's asked me to make some stuff for her ... or rather, for her baby. I had a lot of fun making up stuff for the little one. Her name is Maisarah, very similar to mine!

silent auction

Hannah's school is organising a Carnival Under the Stars at the end of August and I've donated a few little bags for the silent auction. Hope they sell!

sports day

Hannah had her first sports day last friday. She took part in the races and mini-olympics events. It was a load of fun. Sean was there to watch her run and she was very pleased about that.
