Friday = Me day (sort of)

Well hello Friday! Three kiddos off to school and Master 3 at my folks for the morning. And me? Going for a diamond microdermabrasion. It has been ages (we’re talking about 10 years) since I last had a facial outside of my own bathroom. It has been on the books for a while.
Whilst taking Masters 8 to get their haircuts for their birthday the other day I passed a Spa place that had a special deal on which was calling my name, so I booked myself in. It was a glorious 30 minutes. The girl looking after me was so pleasant (no hidden agendas of trying to sell me more products), and though the actual microdermabrasion is a bit like getting your face sand-papered off, I walked out floating on clouds. I have booked myself in for next Friday.
Well that was half an hour of my day. The rest of the day I spent working on my tax online. That always drives me to insanity, or at least to a game of solitaire. But I got it done and am mighty proud of myself.
No photo of my taxes so for inspiration here’s a picture of my favourite tree when we go camping. It is a bit sick apparently so its chop is on the agenda. Hopefully it will still be there when we next visit for one final hug.

Friday = Me Day (sometimes)

Today is Friday and every so often Friday is my “me” day. Three of the kiddies are in school and my toddler goes to his grandparents for a visit leaving me to fill in the time (yippee!!) Often during these times I attend a tile mosaic class. It is so relaxing and serene to be among other creative souls assembling tiles to create something.
Now I am not that great but am loving the process. I have just finished my first project which was a pot (standard beginner project). I was experimenting with cut squares as opposed to the hammer and smash method to see what I liked best. I am slowly planning a BIG project of mosaicking some old cement laundry tubs we use as planters in our yard. Still not sure what to do there…
So after a day of tiling and grouting I hope my creative juices are flowing so I can head into sewing some samples for Toffeeapple. My current range of colours are sienna and orange but I am going to go for a hunt for something in cornflour blue.
Hope everyone has a great weekend (a long weekend for us Aussies celebrating the Queen’s birthday!)
