A little culture...lol!!!
Okay, so I am no Leonardo..but hey scummy mummy here likes to take a break from the páistí every once in a while,even if it is only to scribble a few pathetic lines on a page!!
Whilst tidying today,I came across this little "gem". A piece scrambled together during a life drawing class last year..not exactly going to sell for millions..but hey I was delighted that it at least vaguely resembled a person.She was in fact a rather lovely lady who was expecting a child at the time.
Plans for this year...anyone with ideas as to how one can solve the "scissor-hands" probelm during a 20 minute sketch ,feel free to help!! Answers on a post-card please...LOL

Back Again!
Well, haven't been around due to Easter hols...hurray!!
My return was also hindered by the week-long visit of Mr. Gastroentritis "chez-moi"!!! I am now more than willing to send him on his way to any willing new home...LOL.Don't you just hate unwanted and unwelcome guests ? :)
It has been a bit of a poop,pee and vomit fest I'm afraid folks(apologies profusely to the more squeamish of both readers ;P)
My gosh..how much liquid can one small person hold ????Answers on a postcard pleeeze!!
But I digress, has been pretty rough these past few days, hence the distinct lack of posting but hopefully normal hectic, ad-hoc posting will resume anon!! :))

Blog Awards 2008
Well as first proper blog posts go, I felt this was a rather appropriate start!
What a great night and there was poor old me with n'er a clue who anyone was but in the grand scheme of the Blog Awards, this seemed rather inconsequential.A great night was had by all and despite my best efforts one or two photos of moi are to be found in cyber space.To tell the truth I am no "yummy mummy", more like a bedraggled ,hassled mummy most of the time but glory be to cyber space, where one can exist as a rather hot looking chick :).
I met some fantabulous people (and yes I know it's a made-up word, but it's my blog!!).Amongst them was the rather talented Mr.Handelaar...check out his pictures on flickr.com.He goes by the name of Genghis on Flickr but both he and his wife are rather lovely.The talented Curlyk ,Redmum, and Twentymajor were also present in the midst of a very large collection of vocal writers.The host for the evening was Mr. Rick O'Shea ,who carried out his duties with what can only be described as wonderful aplomb.
As introductions go, I was smitten by the blog awards and indeed the blogging community...will I be back?? You bet your life I'll be there next year, short of being up the duff ,that is :))

The quality and design evident in the Bonzie’s clothing are spectacular. Each piece is individually hand -crafted by this talented ,young designer in her studio in Co.Waterford.
If you are looking for something unique for that special occasion....look no further. Bonzie herself is easy to deal with and very approachable. If there is something you desire not readily available ,you simply send a convo e-mail via the Etsy site to her and she will respond asap!Her corsets are to die for and do an excellent job of holding ‘less that taut tums’ in place!! Custom spats are another trademark design of Bonzies.You will also find many beautiful OOAK dresses on her site.Bonzie is also extremely eco-friendly,with all fabrics being recycled where possible. Definitely worth a visit!

JML Grab Mat for dashboards etc.
A handy little mat that does exactly what it should!!
I first spotted this product ages ago during a documentary about how the inventor was struggling to bring it to market.I thought then that it sounded pretty clever and that his parents weren’t too crazy for remortgaging their family home to help finance the project!!:)
Anyway, I never knew whether it made it to the production line, until my mother arrived one weekend with two tucked under her arm- one for moi and one for my better half!
As I suspected this is super clever for holding change for a toll bridge or a mobile phone, keys etc. Any item around the size of a large moile will sit comfortably on it.Only thing it hasn’t held so far was an upright baby bottle (yes,I was being optimistic!!).
I think it costs less than a tenner but it certainly is worth the few Euros ,especially for any poor sod using a toll bridge on a regular basis!!
As they say “it does exactly what it says on the tin”!
Rated 4/5
