mission Accomplished Almost

Well, puzzle pieces designed and completed bar some drying and tying. It was fun but not for me so hoping Sonya likes them. Other than that I started a baby card for Nadia and Tom and little Isla and have done a lot of overthinking cos Im good at that. Turned down a trip to Dunedin with Sonya, Andy and Aimee but felt like I was with Sonya all day doing her puzzle pieces so didnt feel I missed out really. I would have just bought something I dont need or worse still and more likely would never use or even look at again. And Guess what, I have not made the bed but am thinking about getting on to it shortly.

Im puzzled !!

I have spent the night on the latest glamour girls swap which is an altered puzzle piece. The theme is to showcase the place we live. I have been out with my camera and got some great photos but nothing seems to have really inspired me so far. No doubt as per normal my best ideas will start flowing when I am supposed to be sleeping!! I find the whole craft thing quite puzzling really sometimes . Oh well must go so I can lie awake all night thinking about my puzzle piece.!!

Hunting they have gone

Well it all started off reasonably normal this morning although did have cam here,Georges friend (Sonya and Andys son) and he was up watching tv while George continued to sleep oblivious to his role as host!!! Next thing my boys were joining Cam and big Bro Cody on a hunting trip. Gee it was all go, gear everywhere, several different searches going on for all sorts of things. The enthusiasm was incredible. I secretly wished this enthusiasm could be there when I needed to get something done or wanted to go somewhere! Nevermind ,was nice to see them happy. Well, fridge empty they set off even though it was freezing outside and snow was to low levels. Oh to be a bloke eh. On the Robyn note however life was not all lonely and miserable. What can I say, blog, blog, blog, craft time galore, no worries with making the bed. Eat when i want, sleep if I have time. I love it when the boys are able to get away, its so good for them !!!!!

My Family

Graeme, my other half is a farmer, hunter, fisherman. He also fancies himself as a D.I.Y. expert! Seriously tho he is pretty handy to have around the place.

Rachel, my oldest daughter is in her 2nd of nursing training and 1st year of flatting. She is a no nonsense just get on with it girl. She has great common sense and has her Dads practical mind.

Jenny, my 2nd daughter is in her 1st year at University doing a Bachelor of commerce, majoring in accounting. Has loved her first year, especially the social scene. Jenny is generally quiet and has her dads habit of thinking for a long time before making a decision. She loves clothes.!!!

George, my youngest and only son is in last year of primary school. He loves motorbikes, hunting, skiing on water and snow, rugby. He will very soon be taller than his mother.

About Me

Hi to you all, I am Robyn, am 40 something , have a great husband Graeme and 3 cool kids, Rachel, Jenny and George. I live in Oamaru, a small town on the coast in North Otago in the South Island of Newzealand. We moved here almost 4 years ago from Duntroon where we still have a farm. graeme commutes each day and george continues to go to the local School. I still consider it to be our community.We have a fantastic veiw of the sea and the mountains in Oamaru which is my saving grace coming from the open space of the country.. Between that , this and crafts I get very little done!!!.
My career for 20+ years has been in Mental health as a registered nurse. I have recently taken a break from nursing and am about to embark on a new career in more formal counselling. I am very excited about that.
I enjoy doing paper craft and dabbling in other crafts as they come up. My friend Sonya is the talented one in my life and her work continues to inspire me and keep me interested in trying new ideas.
