Fresh country air

We headed down south toward the Stirling Ranges for our first week away with bub,
and we survived the harsh Bushland, well we had power, gas, hot water all the mod cons
out in the middle of the stirling ranges.
It was so nice to get away and just be out of the house and have different walls to look at.
We did do a little more than that, we climbed Castle mountain just out of Albany,
spent the day in Albany visiting some old friends, lots of walking, rabbit hunting and enjoying the open air toilet.

Screen printing

Finally I found some time between wet nappies and sleep time to do some screen printing.
My screen has a few designs to try, can't wait to see how they all turn out.
Here is my first design for tea-towels

screen ready to go

 The finished product, not the best picture but you get the idea





One pot wonder

What does a new mum do when she want to impress the hubby with her cooking, but doesn't have time or the patience and a screaming baby at 5pm..
Google 'easy food' and buy a big metal casserole pot.
This is the most easiest recipe ever found here and the yummiest, it impressed the hubby and even my mum.
Ive made it with any type of meat, just let it simmer for a few hours, grab some fresh bread and red wine and you have a happy family :)

I blinked and she is 3 months

Time is flying one minute Im posting a 3 week photo the next a 3 month.
Here I am wanting to have a blob to look back on to see what life was like for my first year as a mum.
Now that I feel I'm on top of things I will have to stop procrastinating and start blogging :)
I even have a fun screen printing project to do and show on here.
