green with envy 2

More pics of our dinner (see yesterdays post). These silver goblets i filled with green foliage and chryssies, and sprayed some wheat and twigs silver to match.

These were green beaded serviette rings which I placed around the candles on the centre piece to add a dash of green

The goblets from above.

I made these serviette rings while Robs was doing her karate grading(!): started with a lime green bow, then tied on a silver dangle (leaf, crystal, star) and hot glue gunned it onto a feather and cardboard ring.

My acquisition this Christmas: cheap and cheerful candelabra!

These are the table decorations I did for our annual Christmas party with the Bloms. I found a really cheap but shiny lime green fabric which I cut in half, hemmed and joined end to end to make a table runner; then dug out all my silver decorations and added a touch of lime green. Silver stars and green pebbles added the finishing touches!

better be good...

THIS cute Santa outfit arrived for the Bears yesterday -Robs promtly fiddled around and built him a sleigh out of old ice cream containers and hooked him up with some reindeer looking for a job... THANKS Aunty Gill!

cat in the kennel

I bought this kennel for the dogs to keep them dry in the rain -they REFUSE to set foot inside but Fatcat is very happy...

in the bag

The boys keep losing their expensive school swimming bags so I whipped these up with some quantex I have had forever. Was so pleased to even find a toggle for it. No guarantee they wont loose these too though!!

in a twist

Robs' class needed someone to sew tie-backs for their curtains, but I thought it would be more fun for the girls to make something themselves. I got them all to thread a string with beads, petals and straws and then plaited them into sets of three. So cheerful..

more up my sleeve

Robs wearing all the sleeves!!!

something up my sleeve

I have been inspired by everyone's ideas to reuse and recycle so we cut off the sleeves of all the winter long-sleeved t-shirts and converted them into short-sleeved shirts to extend the life-span of Robs favourite shirts for summer . The pink flower was made from the cut-off sleeve of the pink shirt! Pretty nifty..

on a roll

Got this pencil roll finished10 min AFTER the party endedthis morning for Rob's little friend -but got it delivered nevertheless!

time to bond

Chris and I got to spend the weekend at a Mother and Son fishing camp
