I have created something for 
Life has been quite busy since my last post , which I cant believe was six weeks ago. This year has flown by faster than any other year Im sure, its getting close to the middle of 2009 already and It feels like I have just posted about christmas only a few weeks ago.The change of season has been lovely with lots of crisp mornings and refreshing rain, enabling us to light our wood fire to keep warm. Our view from the back of our house changes to show the different seasons .
This is probably the last of my roses for the year before I cut them back again too.
Easter, School musicals (which I will post about later),craft fairs, weddings, Mothers day, netball, planning a long awaited holiday and every day life has filled up my days, but one thing in particular has replaced reading blogs (jut for a short while) and that is these books.One book of the series is missing as I have leant it to a friend who is also enjoying them as much as I have.
As shown in my previous post my daughter is a huge Twilight fan and recieved the DVD for her birthday, which I watched with her and enjoyed. She nagged me for ages to read the books knowing how much better they were than the film and she was right. I cannot believe how this beautiful love story ( well yes I can actually because I love a good romance story wether it be a movie or book) has had me reading every spare minute. I usually read a book about once a year, if that , but I have read all of these books in 1 week, my family thought I had gone nuts. Not only that, I am now rereading them again. I wont even try to explain the story to you other than say its a Romeo and Juliet type story with different type of characters. I also enjoyed the movie and cant wait for the next to come out in November. I would love to hear from any other Twilight addicts. From what I hear there are lots out there.
Mothers day was lovely spent with both mums and some lovely gifts from my daughters
These came home with me after a trip to the Easter craft fair
That reminds me Easter was spent with friends at the Clare Valley in South Australia, we had a lovely time catching up, unfortunately this is the only photo I took. Us all enjoying a yummy webber roast on the Saturday night.
And last of all I will soon have a tree full of ripe lemons does anyone have an easy lemonade recipe I could try or anything that uses lots of lemons.
Hi Jo,
I'm a 'Twilight' fan too - read all the books and seen the movie along with my two daughters Katie 17 and Abbie 12. For months we swayed between Edward and Jacob.... aahh! what a fabulous teen love story. Nice to see you back.

Sorry, you'll have to figure out the conversions! We make this lemonaide almost daily, our lemon season (here in the Sonoran Desert of Tucson, AZ) is December through April.
Heat until sugar is melted, stirring: 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Add to a cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and fill to make 2 quarts. (Probably just keep the proportions 1:1:1 and you'll be good.)
We've made it with the 1/2 sugar-1/2 Splenda blend and love it.
We have a grapefruit, orange and lemon tree. Unfortunately, they all come in together!

It is so nice to know I'm not the only one whos been away from my blogging for awhile. I have missed it! Love your pillow, and aren't those books the best ever? I have read the whole set twice, seen the movie twice, then got the DVD and keep watching it too. I can hardly wait for New Moon in November. I like you thought I was going crazy too, because I never have time to read anymore, but Stephenie Meyer has made me love to read again, and I can hardly wait to see what she does next!!!! The Host was good too, just slow in the beginning, then Wham, she has you and you can't put it down!!!

Hi Jo, I came across your blog via another one..which slips my mind at the moment, but I wanted to say how I enjoyed my visit. I love your little vintage collections and you have a very nice family. I smiled when I saw the little house keyring; as I designed something similar for the Christmas In July - Handmade issue which is due out next month. Guess two minds can think alike even though they have never met.
Kind Regards
Judith

Oh I am in Love with the Twilight series! Three teenage daughters. My story is the same... they read the books, then watched the movie. I watched the movie, then read the books immediately. Took me one book a day... I literally couldn't put them down! I am team Edward but I was almost swayed to be team Jacob for a bit.... almost!

Oops... and P.S., they said the movie will be released at the earliest in December, and very possibly into next year, spring instead. They aren't sure. Sigh...

Hey Jo! Sounds like life at your place is rather hectic - I know the feeling! :0) Your little bear cushion is gorgeous - not that I'd be biased or anything! :0) I have a couple of lemon recipes that I'll email to you - I love lemon flavoured 'stuff'. Stay well! Bear Hugs! KRIS
