Is facebook totally down or what? Thought I'd post piccies on here instead, because I know some of you would be interested.... These are record heights today.... but it's still rising. Tomorrow is going to be interesting.... We are high and dry at my brothers place :)
Above: The end of the rock wall at the dam. I still can't comprehend this. Someone told me that rockwall was an 18 metre climb down to the water.
Below: Amazing to think that smooth brown mass of pouring water is 5.3 metres deep. Roaring and scary to see the broiling-churning-10m high cavorting-foaming mass of brown and white bubbles at the bottom (not pictured).
Above: At the top of the ridge at the dam, looking down towards the boat ramp. If you look closely you can see the roof of another shelter level with the water.
Below: Railway bridge is lapping. The ripple in the water is the rails of the bridge. This was early this morning, river height about 15.25metres. 75cm higher than 2008 and still rising.
Well, I was a bit too busy to post a Merry Christmas message, in between a flooded farm, leaking bathroom and linen cupboard, stressing about flooded rivers and travelling, etc, etc, but NOW!
Well, we got there, and are flooded in at Emerald (on the eastern side once the bridge gets closed today) so our christmas holiday is suddenly going to be an extra week long :) Soooo now I've got time to say... um.. well... HAPPY 2011!
The boys are helping evacuees to remove kitchens and carpet from their homes before the river floods them, but us ladies haven't got a lot to do since we stocked up the pantry yesterday. So, we're just chillin. :)
The local fabric shop isn't open since we're all in flood mode, so I've raided mum's material cupboard.... :O :O :O she's got some genuinely VINTAGE stuff! Wow! What do I do with it??? Some little rara skirts for the girls? Or accessories of some kind? hmmmm..... ideas please!!!
Here's my fave piccie from christmas day... I really do hope you had a nice one. xo
RACHEL, please check the comments on the previous post, and I'll send you a free one! So far, the colours are Black, Dark Pink or Natural with Black centres, and Baby Pink or White with Clear Centres (not pictured).
Here's a close-up. Can't believe I made it! But I really enjoy making them, so they are going forth and multiplying and I'll have to sell them at a market or something.
There's an alligator clip on the back of it, just in case you're wondering. I'm going to put some on elastic too, especially the Baby Pink ones. AND, I'll try and think of some other flower styles too.... any ideas, let me know!!!
All over my craft desk, you'll see....
Satin
Glass beads
Needle n thread
Crystal Organza
Scissors
Matches
Alligator Clips
Candle
Glue
Any idea what I'm making?
First person to guess correctly gets one for free :D
Then I'll post some piccies...
I've just done 3 digiscrap lo's with this background and love them all! Here's my fave...
hah! can you read that? it says six years old. innocent. intelligent. beautiful. LOL! At the moment she is in the bath trying to scrub off house paint that she had a paint fight with, while she was wearing a skirt that she 'made' this morning from 30 year old daggy fabric that kept falling down coz it had no elastic... but how can I tell the truth on pretty pages like this????

Here's my daughter dancing in the loungeroom.... I've tried to imagine her imagination and put her in the middle of it. Believe it or not, the background is all googled; 'flowers in a field' + 'pegasus' + 'disney palace' + 'old script' and all photoshopped. "Google-art" :P

All this papercraft going on! This digi-LO was fun.... so was the making of the photo.... they had a ball in the hay shed :)
I just selected sections of the photo and made a new 'layer by copy' and added different coloured photo filters over each one.
