Madeit Monday (on a Sunday !)....GO BOREE

We have finally made it to the end of term (only one week to go),

it has been a push to get there !! 

This afternoon we are travelling to Longreach for the kids athletics carnival (tomorrow), it will be great to catch up with other distance ed. mums and the kids will have a great time seeing all their friends. The kids sports house is BOREE, they are on a high after taking home the swimming carnival trophy and are all primed ready for action !!

Team captains are Lachlan and Hollie who have done a terrific job this year in motivating their team, well done guys :)  They have a few surprises in store too - watch out COOLIBAH.  Our madeit finds this week are dedicated to BOREE, and all things yellow.  Guess which colour Angie and I will be wearing tomorrow !! GO BOREE !!

Random Made It finds..

 I am comparing myself to a fine tuned marathon runner (if you have seen me you will know that is definitely not the case) who is at the last leg of their run.  You can feel all your muscles seizing up and you are starting to feel delirious.  Thoughts of not making it are running through your head.  All this hard work and maybe it is all going to be for nothing!  Then suddenly you get this feeling of new enthusiasm, maybe you will make it.  No there it goes, that thought was short lived.

I am on my last week of school.  This has been the longest term (12weeks) in history.  I am even taking the last week off because I think I will go absolutely mad if I have to drag myself back out to the school room for another week. 

This weeks 'Made It' finds are some cute things I found last week.

Fancy That. (much better than the Woolies variety)

Choochie Bubble (Its a wheat bag, to warm up and snuggle with)

Zinnia Pea (gorgeous sayings printed on cup and saucer)

Anrol Designs ( I have just purchased this for my bedroom)

I hope you enjoy!

I am now thinking like the little engine that could, ( I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.)

Madeit Ruffles - The Ruffle Phenomenon

Better late than never is our madeit blog this week.  We are both struggling with a 12 week term at school so our blog has been a little neglected :) Congratulations to Tina (Queen of Ruffles) from Georgie Girl who has created such a media frenzy this week when she took her stock to the Mummy Tree Markets in Brisbane.  There were ruffles galore and lots of eager fans who had travelled from far and wide to get their hands on some ruffly goodness.  Here at AnK we were delighted to spot some of our very own fans on the news coverage wearing some AnK  and M2M Georgie Girl pieces. Ohhhh so cute.

Frayed, ripped but Ohhh so gorgeus.

In my blog surfing this morning I come across this very beautiful blog from Australia (which I love when they are 'local') Mrs A in the Cove.  She has given me the most amazing idea of what to do behind my daughters bed.  I had plans of hanging a curtain up behind it.  I even have the fabric but haven't had the chance to make it yet.

But when I saw this I have changed my mind.  I think it will add a whole lot of colour and be a bit whimsy as well and it is same colours that I have in her bedroom.

Can't wait to go to town and pick up some more fabric!!

Mrs A has used it in the most beautiful party table.  Check out her blog for some other fantastic party ideas.
