Lately I have....

• ...been working on a few things.... like my Revamp It project (see post here to join in)...
  
  {Just a peek for now, it's not quite finished.... I'm hoping to finish a second piece before the 14th...}

• ...been working on a new painting for a lovely client....

• ...been catching up on my blog reading that I missed while my computer was down

• ...been cursing the computer because I think the new hard drive has errors too... so don't be surprised if I'm gone again any time soon. (ok, I won't curse myself! I'll stay positive!)

• ...started getting into Twilight (albeit slowly - I am way behind the reading trends, lol!). I've read Twilight and watched the film, now I'm into New Moon and getting sucked right into this one too (can't wait for the new film, I'm in loooove with Edward! Don't we all love a hot {or should I say cold} vampire?)

• ...finally started enjoying exercising again and going to the gym 4-6 times a week, hoping that this time, I'll budge that junk off of my trunk!

• ...been on a cooking frenzy, trying new recipes, making some delicious ones, and some disastrously awful ones like my prawn rice paper rolls today (I'll stick to buying those from the experts, that rice paper stuff has a mind of its own!)

• ...been trying to drink 2 litres of water a day, but MAN that's hard!!!

• ...been sorting through tons and tons of old laces and trims and forcing myself to be able to part with some (you'll see them come up on my website one day soon)

• ...been working on making a photobook of the little guy's first almost-6 years, going through baby photos, remembering, after I had forgotten, how LITTLE he once was

• ...been sorting through clothes and toys and all that fun stuff

• ...found my pregnancy diary that I kept, and blubbered like a baby when I read over it again

• ...watched Extreme Home Makeover and blubbered (again) like a baby every single time they cut to the family after shouting, "MOVE THAT BUS!"

• ...smiled each time I come to my front door because the violets are in bloom beside it

• ...taken the little guy to the zoo (and got a parking ticket, UGH!) and to the city, and the National Gallery of Victoria, where he fell in love with the fountains out the front, and the water wall, and some interesting sculptures

• ...been wondering where the days and months are disappearing to

• ...realised that Christmas is around the corner

• ...found one or two grey hairs on my head and freaked out!

• ...watched Project Runway Australia and enjoyed each minute of it, aaah the bitchin' and back stabbing has already begun.... oh I miss the ragtrade! (NOT!)

• ...been helping out in the classroom

• ...tried out my new watercolours and found they are not so scary after all (will share pics one day soon!)

• ...been pretty darn tired!
  

What have you been up to lately?
