Spring Is Finally Here In Australia
Well tomorrow to be exact. It must be the busy time of year. Its hard to not get side tracked with the spring cleaning. Plus the school seems full on with sports days, photos, enrollments for next year.
I know I should be working but the garden is in dire straits and needs a good clean up. I think it must be because the sun is shining so you see the grime more.
Over the next few weekends we will be fixing the roof on the patio, paving a section of lawn that refuses to grow, putting in a new garden bed, fertilising and mulching all the garden beds, giving the walls and paving a good wash.
We bought our dog a new bed yesterday. he has a kennel but he has a habit of dragging his bedding out. This then gets wet and he ends up with nothing to sleep on at night. It drives me mad. So we bought him one of those hessian trampoline style beds where he is off the floor but cant drag it anywhere.
As there is no shelter down the side of the house from the rain my husband had a brainwave, why not recycle the kids plastic cubby house that they never play in. He took the door off and put Judd's bed in...One giant dog house fit for a king...Just need to seal the back windows to stop the draft. He seems to like it.

Reduced Postage costs on Bridal
Just to let my followers know that I have reduced the Postage costs on my Bridal Jewelry Range.
All jewelry except Tiaras will be posted securely in a Pinkdawn Gift bag instead of the previous Gift box. This way I can bring the actual shipping costs right down to a more reasonable amount.
I can supply a Gift box if you prefer it but make sure to email or etsy convo me first to obtain a postage quote.

A New Week
Well it was a quiet weekend for us. The usual shopping and family over. Finally got the leaking taps fixed. I cant remember the last time I was able to use the cold tap in the bathroom without turning it as hard as I could to stop it dripping.
Today I have been shopping again... I needed to get a birthday present for my daughters friend. She has been invited to his 5th Party. Its fancy dress, so true to form, my darling little tom- boy daughter is going as spiderman.
I really shouldnt go to the craft shop. I only went in to get some fabric to make our dog a new bed for inside. I ended up with the fabric plus a gorgeous selection of new beads...

Accounts day
Not an eventful day planned. I really have to catch up on my accounts. I keep putting it off because I dont like seeing how much Iam spending on beads. Have to do it or it all gets a bit crazy. Probably a good day for it. Outside it is cold and raining. I cant take the photos I need for the new necklaces I have made. I always take them outside but there is no protection from the rain.
Our next big project is to create some shelter outside. then I can take photos all the time :)
Hope you are all having a lovely day wherever you are and that you are warmer than I am right now :)

I love Picasa
I have just discovered Picasa Photo Editing. I have been using Photoshop Elements which is really complicated for a novice like me to use. I discovered Picasa from an Etsy forum post and it is amazing. It is really easy to use and helps make your photos look great. Check out this link to MuyinMolly's blog http://tinyurl.com/mrk8pn she has some great tips on how to use Picasa.

New Postage Rates
I have finally revised my postage and packaging rates on my jewelry excluding Bridal jewlery. All my pieces will now be securely shipped in a Pinkdawn Gift bag which will make postage more affordable. I can supply a gift box at an extra cost. This is due to the postal prices shipping out of Australia. All Bridal Jewelry will still be shipped in a Pinkdawn Gift box unless requested otherwise.

A great day to be indoors
Well they said it would rain...it is one of those rainy days where you are glad to be inside, cosy and warm. Family dinner tonight with the Inlaws. I have some chicken cooking in the slow cooker. The girls are busy crafting. They love to have paper, toliet roll centres, foil, anything they can cut up and stick back together in an interesting way.

What is She Doing?
I was sat at my desk making a bracelet this afternoon and I could hear this funny noise.... I realised it was my cat snoring her head off from under the table :) My goodness she was loud. I have never heard her snore like that before. Funny thing
