APOLOGIES!!
Please accept my apologies for being an absent blogger. I confess to not having touched a bead or clay in many many months. My life has become overwhelmingly busy and beading and claying have been pushed to the background for now...not for ever...hopefully. As some of you know I am a teacher and this year I changed year levels...moving from teaching Pre-Primary to Year 1. While I am enjoying this change...I am finding it challenging and am busy trying to keep my head above water...so to speak. It is now coming up to report writing time...so I will be absent awhile longer.
We also have a new addition to our family...a puppy!! I am besotted and she also claims a large lump of my time. I will post some pics of her soon. Thanks for still popping by...I appreciate you! :)

Australia Day!!
It's Australia Day today...national holiday and great national pride!
Somewhat spoilt by the claim that people who flaunt the Aussie flag...like on one's car (as I do)...are racist! This comes from a university study apparently...and I find it offensive!!

Anyways...
We had a fairly low key...but nice day! Happy Australia Day everyone!
