Not roller skating..........though this photo sure makes me want to grab a pair of strap on skates and hit the pavement, grazed knees be damned, but working on a special project for some very sweet and very special people.<br />
With the added bonus of having a ball doing it. :)<br />

I know that really we are lucky to enjoy a pretty mild winter around these parts but seriously this day couldn't come fast enough. This winter just seems to have dragged on.<br />
The weather today in true form was a little cold and grey, nothing like the beautiful, warm, sunny pre spring Sunday afternoon we spent in the much neglected garden. You know that early warm spell that makes you rush off and swap all the bedding back to summer sheets and pack away all your winter cardigans only to realise the following day that a cold front is on its way. I won't be fooled this year, I'm hanging on to my flannalette sheets for at least a few more weeks. <br />

In the meantime we've been inspired by the coming of spring and have had a small shop update with more to come in the following weeks. I get the feeling we're in good company with our hankering for warmer weather as these beautiful summer dresses are selling like hotcakes.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last weekend my Beautiful niece turned nine. To celebrate she had a few of her closest friends around for a sweet tea party.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My sister did such a great job with the table decorations, and almost everything was sourced from local op shops for next to nothing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We (or should I say 'I') can never seem to leave the house without forgetting something, normally something crucial to the outing too like going to the shop without my wallet, urgh talk about frustrating!!!This time I forgot the camera but luckily I had my phone and used the instagram app to take a few shots.......</div>

Our Madeit shopfront has been a little neglected lately.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have just added a few spring/summer dresses, maybe a little wishful thinking.........all this cold, wet and grey weather is really making me crave the warmth of summer,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and hopefully we'll be adding some more purses and bags in the next week or so, and maybe a few new things too.....</div>

Charlotte has similar hair but even whispier and possibly finer. I think she loves the feeling of her whispy strands of hair flapping freely in the wind for she loathes having it restrained in any form. No clips, hairbands, elastics or headbands for her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which is why I was so amazed that I managed to not just put a hairband in but two braids. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
woohoo!!</div>

(i was inspired by her sweet friend who has lots more hair and was recently seen rocking some cute braids.)</div>

Ok, so these are maybe not technically braids, I 'm really bad at hair, but they are as close to real braids as we may ever get around here. </div>

</div>It's been a little quite around these parts lately, we've been busy though, very busy. School holidays came to an end last week, that six weeks just went by so fast, I can hardly believe they're over already. The weather has been crazy, the holidays were mild, chilly some days, but as soon as school went back we sweltered through a week of record breaking high temperates reaching a peak of over 40 degrees on Saturday, with the nights so hot and the humidity sooooo high it was near impossible to get a good nights sleep. Now we're snuggling under doonas, crazy.<br />

We have also been working on setting up a little <a href="http://madeit.com.au/hummingbird">madeit.com.au</a> store. It's a bit of a slow process, but we're going to be adding more stock whenever we can. it would probably help if I stopped treating my sister like a personal seamstress and claiming all of her beautiful clothes for my own girls. I honestly had to ask her to stop showing me things in their sizes or there will never be any stock in our store.<br />

January is almost over already. I haven't made any resolutions this year, as I, like many ( i think/hopefully I'm not the only one) never stick to them and then spend the rest of the year feeling really bad about myself. Not this year.<br />
<br />
The only thing I'm going to make a concerted effort to do differently this year is to be brave. There are so many things I haven't done because of fear. Not like Skydiving or bungee jumping or anything wild like that I mean really basic everyday things. I've already tackled one of my major fears......the ocean. Totally crazy really considering we live minutes from the most beautiful beaches. I have swum in the ocean three times already this year, I even caught some waves, with a little help from Oscar :) Sounds pretty lame I know.<br />
<br />
A little bit of what we've been up to so far this summer.......<br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Ok so I couldn't write a poem to save myself but I seriously do LOVE chocolate and I do eat it everyday, lots of it!! Which is exactly why I must (aaargh I almost can't type the words) but I MUST give it up.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Some very good reasons why I must give up chocolate include, but are not limited to......</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><ul><li>I eat it everyday and that just can't be good for you.</li>
<li>I have eaten all the chocolate in the house and then in an attempt to hide this fact raced to the shops to replace the eaten chocolate, and then eaten all the replacement bars as well. </li>
<li>I have often been so desperate for chocolate that I have eaten cooking chocolate.</li>
<li>The words Family block have never stopped me from consuming an entire one to myself....in less than a 24 hour period. I know, that's really bad isn't it. </li>
<li>I once watched a show about people with OCD and who are addicted to things, there was a girl who was so addicted to chocolate that she sought medical help to break the habit. When they revealed how much chocolate she ate I realised I ate more than her. </li>
</ul><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">So you can see this is truly a huge undertaking and one I don't think should be entered into alone or lightly, so I have enlisted my sister into the challenge........</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">30 days Chocolate and Coffee free (I have heart palpitations every time I think of it).</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Starting tomorrow.................</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Well we're 16 days into the 30 day challenge and there's been some surprising results.......</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Firstly and most shockingly giving up chocolate has been an absolute breeze, I've barely thought about it and that's even though there has been a fairly constant supply passing through the fridge (I'm not the only one around here with a sweet tooth).</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I am totally amazed by this revelation and the only thing I can put it down to is that show that I watched on the chocolate addicted girl. As part of the solution for her the Dr hypnotised her and made her imagine she had melted down a big pot of chocolate and then she had to add all these really disgusting things into it like dirt, dog hair, maybe a little snot, toenail clippings (eeewww this gets me every time) cockroaches, worms etc. Then he asked her to eat it, in her hypnotised mind of course, just the thought of it made her heave, me too.<br />
I don't know how it worked out for her but I do know I didn't eat chocolate for about a week after just watching it. So although I haven't gone to the extreme of being hypnotised I have been imagining a grubby disgruntled worker clipping the toenails from their fungal covered feet into the chocolate vat (which I'm sure noone would ever do :)) its working a treat so far.<br />
<br />
Secondly the ONLY thing that will ease a caffeine withdrawal headache is a perfectly brewed, hot, steaming cup of coffee. we both lasted about 4 days with the coffee. It disturbs me a little that I couldn't give it up so I am planning on tackling it again, soon.........</div>hummingbirdlivinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06398815813401385327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451029853327996246.post-34282912562815053722010-11-24T00:07:00.002+11:002010-11-24T14:23:41.824+11:00Thrift bonanza<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWHj1Gsyw7aKScqc2YpkvLgq_NQ0D6wuEoXwtr1Cb49EPevC8R80U2I19R05Xz4ES5vjcTobXkf2htBQXw9inM0ZoXqR6C3ilrz08mH-sMGHBounZ33d7VMBVExszjd8GjyurTPB5-tak/s1600/IMG_0234.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

Well that's not exactly true, I have sat at it many times, even turned it on occasionally but I don't think I've sewn anything. It may actually not have been that long ago, I just can't remember it. Maybe it was a bad sewing experience and I have blocked it out. Either way I have finally, finally! finished something. YAY!! </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ok so I haven't exactly gone in to mass production mode but around here this is a HUGE achievement and hopefully one that will get the ball rolling. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">We had a pretty productive weekend all round. It was warm and sunny for the most part so we were able to tackle some of the garden and even start work on a Christmas project. Aargh I think thats the second time in as many posts that I've mentioned Christmas, see that's how it sneaks up on you and before you know it I'll be talking about Easter and Autumn weather...........</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Yay. The weather gods weren't on our side though and there was a flashback to the cold rainy weather of winter but even that couldn't put a dampener on our day. We had a great, if slightly chaotic time, (my family had a little meltdown in the carpark afterwards, though for us it was a seven hour round trip so I don't blame them really! hope noone was watching, we would have looked <s>a little</s> totally crazed.)<br />

<br />
I am not a particularly good cook (though I desperately wish I was), never clean as i go, tend to use almost every utensil in the house and more often than I would like to admit have to add as I serve "If it's really bad we can have toast."<br />
<br />
We eat a lot of toast.<br />
<br />
However I LOVE cookbooks, LOVE reading food blogs and watching any sort of cooking show. It's just obviously never really absorbed......<br />
My son also has Egg and Nut allergies and I'm always scouring for new egg free, nut free recipes.<br />
So in the interest of giving back I thought I would share a few of our families favourite recipes.<br />
<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">This Banana Bread recipe is super easy, so easy you can complete the entire process with a babe in arms and a toddler dangling precariously from the furniture and still end up with something edible (but a rather disastrously messy kitchen). I did attempt to photograph the process as that's really the best part about reading a recipe but the photos I took somehow managed to make the most basic recipe really ugly and could possibly turn you off an otherwise delicious dish.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF2IGf23u0rB1rPYwElwirZkFdcNTiHmCDeAk1mDzid9XVP3nLG7IwInvwdLSVoHpg5iq76QHSpIawLtBYpbDZE0E6jN26XV4R1-zuRkDcYj7CArbldJNqdH2wW5bKl6_5ZJJiLFGBi3M/s1600/IMG_9357.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF2IGf23u0rB1rPYwElwirZkFdcNTiHmCDeAk1mDzid9XVP3nLG7IwInvwdLSVoHpg5iq76QHSpIawLtBYpbDZE0E6jN26XV4R1-zuRkDcYj7CArbldJNqdH2wW5bKl6_5ZJJiLFGBi3M/s400/IMG_9357.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
<u>Banana Bread</u><br />
<u><br />
</u><br />
<u>Ingredients:</u><br />
<u><br />
</u><br />
5 or 6 large Bananas<br />
2 cups plain flour<br />
1 cup of caster sugar *see note<br />
1 Teaspoon Baking powder<br />
1 Teaspoon Baking soda<br />
Cinnamon to taste (we use a lot)<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla essence<br />
<br />
<u>Method</u><br />
<u><br />
</u><br />
Preheat oven to 180C.<br />
<br />
Prepare small loaf tin.<br />
<br />
Mash bananas, sugar and vanilla essence in a large bowl until quite liquidy (i don't think thats a real word) sift in remaining ingredients, mix until well combined pour into prepared loaf pan. Place in preheated oven and cook for 1 hour.<br />
Enjoy!<br />
<br />
*note: I have a hugely sweet tooth and would never normally say no to sugar but I normally only add about a half to 3/4 cup of sugar.<br />
