Its my birthday today so I would like to share a couple things with you about my special day,besides the fact that my poor beloved mum was in argony today and I thank her and tell her every day that I love her and I am glad she wanted me so I can have a life,.I love you mum and dad too,.
Also on this day 8 years ago I gave up smoking and even though I have no regrets It took me 2 years to get over it and spent many days with such a deep depression that I amaze myself that I am still here , there were many times that I would go swimming in the late and swim out to far and remember that I had to swim back., I also gained 20 klos which was the icing on the cake for me who had always been slim and never on a diet, I got so angry with myself I couldn't look at myself for a few years after that,. I am glad that I stopped smoking and was able to play with nieces and other kids but I was fat now and trying to deal with that as well as being depressed I was not a happy chappy for awhile until someone told me how my skin looked lovely from not smoking and that made such a difference in my life that the weight thing was pushed to the back of my mind,.The next few years was spent dealing with health issues with family and Glenn that I forgot about me,.
Now I have lost the 20 klos and only started on a diet early Nov last year because I had bad ankles and couldn't walk because of the sugar in my feet so I had to stop eating so much and after 7 months I have done it, I need to lose 3 more and I am the same wait I was when I married Glenn 28 years ogo, how cool is that,.,,and I am just loving myself soooooooooooo much these days, I can feel my ribs and hips which have been lost for such a long time,.lol




I made this little peg dolly for that special birthday candle and she is for sale at my Madeit Shop go have a look at all the new dollies that are for sale there,.
thanks for stopping by love yahhhhhhhhhh
good night Glenda,.,.,.,

Here are some of my art work and I would like to share them with you,This first one is my Volvo SW motor which I painted the air cooler cover, It was a boring black so I painted roses and leaves on it and trimmed it with pink paint,I so loved it that when my Volvo died I took off the cover and it hangs on the wall in the shed,.It was the talk of the town and the best looking Volvo in town,. After watching Nemo on DVD I decided to Mosaic the bathroom walls with a nemo design which I draw myself,. It took lots of bits of broken tiles to make it but it looked great when it was finished and I ended up doing the whole bathroom,.
This is my toilet which I painted with a pretty scenery of beautiful coloured trees and flowers with a white picket fence and archway,On the bottom is an old cottage with lots of flowers and trees around it,.

This is my front door,It has lots of sunflowers and daisies with pretty bird houses and a welcome sign to go with it

The rest of my bathroom walls

This is Glenn's mums hopper which she once used to watch there cloths and after many years of nagging mum to give it to me she finally did so I Mosaic on it and was very happy with the way it turned out,.I added broken cups and used the handles to hang things on, I filled it with water and put some fish in it,.
I found this old toilet on the side of the road when we were having a clean up so I put it in the car,. so heavy. and took it home you should of seen Glenn's face when I lifted it out of the car until I added broken tiles and cups, plates and whatever other stuff I had laying around,he couldn't believe how good it came up.,

I love to Mosaic but it takes such a long time to do one job that I only do it in winter in my shed while listening to the footy on the radio, I have done heaps of different things like pots,walls,trays,and done a few things with coloured glass and used them to burn candles in., These look very pretty at night as the flame brings the coloured glass alive,.Looks great at Christmas time too,.
Hope you like what you see and good night love yah

Breast Cancer Awareness
I have always done crafts of some kind for years and have tried to keep up with all the new things that can be created. I also like to try making these new things and this is one that I have really loved making. This is a bag that I made from a bra.Cool hay. This is a pretty pink and I had added lots of pretty tiny black beads and a beaded fringe.I have also added a pretty lace bow at the top of it..It is big enough to hold your phone and keys and money purse and would look lovely on a night on the town and what a talking piece.

I have 2 here and the second one is a beautiful minty green and I have added lots of lace and lots of bling for that extra special look.Cool hey,.,.,..,

I have put these two on my Etsy for sale and with each one sold I will make a Donation to the Breast Cancer Awareness in lovely memory of my beautiful friends Sharon and Dawn and Shirley,.


I hope you take a look at my Etsy Shop where I am sure you will find something you like.I have really loved making these so keep watching for more.
Have a great night love yah Glenda xoxoxoxoxoxo

Here is our Teddy,Ashley has given him a hair do and made him a blue Mohawk with food colouring.Poor Ted is a funny little dog and was given to us to keep.He has the cutest nature and loves cuddles and just running around having fun.He also loves to pick on the cat and between the to of them turn the house upside down.
Here is our cat Maw Maw she has just jumped through the kitchen window onto the sink. She is a cheeky little thing.She was living on the farm across the creek with 100 other cats and out of all those cats she came right up to us so we bought her home and she has been quiet happy even since.She has taken over the house and even the chook pen.We caught her today chasing the chooks around the chook pen which got Rosey all excited so she started to chase the chooks and the poor burgers were so worn out that they did nothing except sleep the rest of the day.

The cat had a peaceful day but the rest of the farm had a very full day.This is her day bed sitting on top of it by day and inside by night..



Here is Maw Maw with my little piggy that I was given by a lady in Swap-bot,I think she thinks its hers.She sleeps with it,bashes it up,throws it around and just chews on it.Wen I try to take it off her she growls at me.





I also lost my friend who I met on Swap-bot yesterday,she had cancer and MS but the cancer is what took her away from her family and her friends. We will all miss her and everything about her,,I am sending love and hugs to Frank and Cheryl's family.
R.I.P my Friend.I will always love you.
love ya all and thanks for coming, xoxoxoxoxox

Patchwork= crazy. I have never been able to cut a straight line when it come to material so I have never made a real patchwork quilt, you know the ones with all the perfect lines and shapes that go together.So I do crazy patchwork and I have been making some new things and I would like to show you my new and my old. These old jeans I haven't been able to fit into them for quiet awhile so when I tried them on and they fitted I decided to give them an update.I decided to do some crazy patchwork on them by adding different pieces of material to them. wow I was so happy with the way they look and even better how good my bum looked in them now that my bum has been found.



This is a little bag I made for my Etsy. Its big enough to hold keys, purse, phone.It has a crazy patchwork design on it and I have added other bits to make it look pretty. Its selling for $8.00.
This one has more colours on it with different coloured laces and lots of pretty bits and bobs on it too. Its small enough to be dainty and big enough to hold your keys, phone and money and comes with a long handle.

This one is quiet large.I made it to carry lots of stuff and it is made with patches of my prettiest material and I added bits and bobs all over it.I use it all the time.


This one was an old business bag that was thrown away, I loved the sharp of it and it stands up on its own.I took it home and covered it with material and buttons, etc. I use this bag alot and it holds heaps of stuff.

Hope one day I get to make a quilt using squares and triangles like other ladies do but for now I will keep making my crazy patchwork.. I have a few things on to go, I am making a queen size quilt cover out of pillow slips which I have been collecting for years so when it is finished I will show you.But for now I hope you enjoy looking at my patchwork.....
goodnight love ya Glenda xoxoxoxoxox
