My Daughter. The Indonesian Princess

I am pretty much proud beyond the norm of my kids, but today Caitlin as always blew me out of the water with her dance at her school's annual concert. She was by far the best there! Watching the older kids graduate, i realised that when it is Caitlins turn to walk up on stage and get her little certificate i cant be there..cause i will be weeping,

I didnt adjust the alingment issues but i did put everything in a yellow box..it sort of works fr me..

my theme for next year

only i can bugger up alignment so badly.

Effect Change.

Trying some stuff out, lots to do to get it right but i reckon its ok for a first draft, got to add in more pics, adjust the timing which is way of but well you get the idea.
by the way i started this at 4am this mornign and finished it at around 6..lol

you gotta eat something, right?

We had a lovely light lunch today. :) Caitlin had a roasted fish (red snapper) in a marmalade sauce with asparaGOOSE (as we say it here), mash potato's and a nice runny egg (it was for me but she pinched it) She was dipping the wholemeal bread we baked yesterday into the yolk and gobbling it down. Thats my daughter! Tloml and i had a mixed grill... for want of a better description. The flank steak was a little tough but that was because i didnt slow cook it for 6 hours. By the way if the steak looks small it isnt, the asparagoose are huge! biggest i have ever seen. Oh and if your wondering where bella was during this lunch, she was circling the table with arms in the air like a chubby vulture looking for table scraps.

Alas the loaf i baked yesterday was a little on the dark side on the outside, the inside was lovely though. Mind you it was my first time baking a loaf in the oven not the bread maker and from scratch i have to say none of those instant flour mixes for me!, so all in all i am rather pleased. (Caitlin was helping me make the bread and she dubbed our kitchen, Edward and Rose's Bakery)

random pics

My box, sitting between my keyboard and the monitor is my box, as you can see i keep all sorts of junk in it, markers, paint brushes, painting kinves, pencils, lighters, cf cards and a host of other little things i use on a daily or weekly basis. Below, my box of plastercine..i always have plastercine...

Bake us the bread!

I have always wanted to bake my own bread, for years i quietly had this little dream . I have always found it intimidating , lots of time to let the bread rise and stuff. The other day i went for a bbq and had the most amazing bread baked by Tlomys cousin and she inspired me to try. 1 big difference though i pinched my Sisters breadmaking machine for my first loaf. Things were going well until something tripped the power in my house and the machine shut off, forcing me to move the loaf to our oven. It turned out pretty well in the end, crusty (very crusty) and full flavoured all in all a good tasting rye loaf. NEXT i will try without the machine and see how that goes!

eightlegs

At night when i put Caitlin to bed she will almost without fail ask me to tell her a story (this is after playing dollies or with the car bears). Anyway here are some drawings relating to the latest story, its called called "eightlegs" as you may have guessed its about a spider. The story chronicles his quest for friendship (it gets lonely on a web) . I say his but we haven't established if eightlegs is a male of female. Along the way he meets, flies, grasshoppers and ants all of whom run away..spiders eat them. In the end he/she meets a frog and they become friends. lol its a LONG STORY!

eightlegs.

A spin off of eightlegs is about the flies and their chase to win the championship in Formula Fly.

i drew these with a marker, scanned them into the comp and coloured them. in case your wondering
