Have glue gun will work!

We are going to a ball here on Saturday night, lots of excitement in preparing our costumes,  as you see the theme is "Havana Nights".

It's the 88th Waratah Ball to be held in Avoca,  one of the small villages here which have the old fashioned community hall and are always in desperate need of funds for the upkeep of these country institutions.  Indeed we have our own  Glenquarry Peace Memorial Hall which will be celebrating its centenary in 2020.  They are a real centre for our very small communities where we don't have any pubs or cafes to congregate at but are always available for events such as  weddings, parties, anything!

I have spent a little bit of time on pinterest getting the vibe for the Cuban dress sense and I think I've got a handle on it now. Got the dress, (you'll have to come back another day to see it) and then this evening I have put my glue gun to work and made my headpiece.

I started with a stretchy headband, some fabric flowers from Ikea and some plastic fruit from the Toy department of Target.

Add the glue gun, some artistic licence and ......

Viola! here is the finished product

 and here I am with my work of art!

I'll take some more pics when I'm fully frocked up on Saturday night, so please come back to visit me on Sunday for the post ball blog!

Home is where the heart is

For those who do not know we have been living in Sydney for the past 18 months for work, and last June moved back to the Southern Highlands and are currently living in Bowral in a townhouse. Don't worry, the Goddess abode is still there waiting for us we are just taking some time to do some renovations to an investment I bought a few years ago.

It's a lovely location, we're located onto a reserve called the Cherry Tree Walk

You can get a bit of the vibe of the area from the video, we really enjoy walking the puppies there each day and its only a 5 minute walk from the centre of town so we are really enjoying the Bowral "inner city lifestyle"!

It's a 3 storey townhouse with the garage on the bottom, the living rooms and kitchen on the middle floor and the 3 bedrooms upstairs, so all we see from all the windows is the top of trees and we are constantly serenaded by the birds.

I'm so excited to be back blogging now that I have more time again and I look forward to sharing my thoughts and adventures with you again.
