Zipper Pouch Sewing

Over the weekend I crossed a small project off my to do list and that was to make myself a zipper pouch big enough for my Jamberry mini heater, deluxe tool set and a few jams. 

I picked a purple geometric print fabric so it would all colour co-ordinate (of course) and in less than 20 minutes I had a zipper pouch that was the perfect size. 

I can even fit my application kit and a few extras in there too.

Now to figure out another way I to combine my love of sewing AND Jamberry....

Have you been crafting lately?

Happy Monday!

I've missed a few weeks of Monday gratefuls because our internet has been shocking but it seems to be going working again! So I guess that's my first grateful. Working internet FTW!

We are now into our second week of school holidays and I'm loving it. Have I told you how much I love school holidays? Easy breezy mornings, the kids playing outside together all day. In fact they haven't played on an electronic device all holidays. It's been fabulous.

I'm also grateful for my decision two months ago to join Jamberry, it's been fabulous. I've been having so much fun and I've met some truly awesome people.


So that's it for my gratefuls this week.

What are you grateful today?

Planes, Trains, Hospitals, Orthodontists...

Last week we headed to Perth for some medical appointments. We had to leave two of the boys at home with my Mum who travelled over to look after them for us.

So I spent a whole 5 days only being responsible for two kids. Man that was easy! Whilst our time away was filled with hospitals and orthodontists offices I still made sure that we fitted in some fun stuff. We took the train to Fremantle for fish and chips and a play in the park, we went shopping in the city and went swimming.

It was great to spend some time with Mahli without the bigger boys around, I hardly ever get to have one on one time with the older three kids so it was great to chat with her and she talk to me a lot last week.

Don't get me wrong, I missed the boys like mad but even with B being in hospital it was a relatively stress free week.

But we are home now and it's back to parenting 4 kids and all that it entails. And with B recoverying from surgery things have been very busy.

Did I mention that I've also become an Independent Consultant with Jamberry? I'm loving it and have met loads of great ladies and my nails have never looked this good!

Let me know if you want to try a sample :)
