This one on the left is
very naughty, stealing my juice.











Well Bloggers, as you will see this is my First attempt at using Puppen Fimo...
What a wonderful product. Easy to work with. Bakable and Gorgeous in Colour.

What Awesome Service...

To my amazement, spoke to the lady from Eberhard Faber (puppen fimo) on Thursday regarding the Doll Making Fimo and all i can say is what awesome service she gave me. Nothing like i have ever experienced in SA before... By Monday Morning 8.30 my parcel with the Puppen Fimo arrived with Fedex from Germany... Wow... if only everybody's service could be like that the world would be a better place...

Well I have made some Fuglies with the Puppen Fimo and I am so impressed with the Quality, the Texture and the Smoothness of this Clay. I will defnily be ordering and using this clay in the future.. Thank you Sonja for your wondeful and generous service....

I am defnitly going to Cheat (My Diet) this weekend...

Its been 5 weeks of hell on the Dr Atkins diet and i have just about had enough of it.. I have lost 3.2kg and i think i will give it a break this weekend and start on Monday again... If i dont have the biggest Chocolate Cake that i can find i might just go through the roof.... Dreaming about food is bad , but when you start dreaming about Chocolate Cake then you must know that you are about to go over the edge..LMAO.... Sure it wont kill me just to cheat a little. I have been so good and so committed....

I have the best MOM in the whole world....

I simply have the best Mom in the whole world... Always willing to help and always willing to go the Extra mile for me. I mentioned to her last night that i have run out of Clay to make my order and with my Clay coming from JHB its always a little bit of a mission with the Postage etc etc... She organised to have a driver fetch the clay and the eyes for me this morning and it will be here tomorrow as someone is flying to Durban tomorrow and he will bring it with him, saving me the Postage costs... She is so thoughtful... I hope that one day , i will always be there for my children like she has been there for me... What would i do without her.... (Wont think about that, will I now)....... Ok, well its almost weekend and i am taking a trip up to Shongweni on Saturday, (bright and early 6.30 am) the farmers market... Want to arrange a stand for myself for Saturday Mornings with all my Sculpey Clays, Moulds, Fairies etc.... So come on guys.... If you are in the Durban area, feel free to visit the market and look for my stand. I will be there real soon.... There is going to be lots of Awesome things at very Awesome prices....

I am officially ADDICTED...

As you can see my little family is growing nicely, and what started off as a mere hobby and all for fun has now got people wanting these little "Fugly Buggers".. I have just landed an order for 10 of these little creature.. My friends and family are loving them and now i have an order to make 10... Oh well, i am going to be doing something i love and making a little extra money on the side... What a Bargain"

The Flu is Really going around...

Once again, everyone in the household seems to be affected by this flu that is going around. The kids came home on Monday coughing and sneezing. Dayne has had it the worst so far. I rushed him to the Doctor on Tuesday morning as he had a Temp of 39.3 which is not very good at all.. The Doc gave him 2 injections (Ouch, one was a Voltaren, which burns like hell) and a whole lot of medication (which doesn't come cheap). He slept the whole day but not much improvment. Wed , had to take him right back to the doctor as he had a terrible night and hardly slept and was running such a bad fever again... Can't take any chances with such a high fever and "Swine Flu" going around. Got some more Antibiotics and luckily the temp has come down and i can see a nice improvement..... Much to my dispair, Jessica woke me up at 3am this morning, Vomiting and not feeling very well... If its not the one its the other.. Sometimes i just wish that i could be sick instead of the kids.. I really hate it when the kids are not well. I feel so helpless.... They are both off school so hopefully by the time i get home today they will both be feeling a little better...

No wonder the Dogs are Barking all day.

This is exactly why the dogs are barking all day long.. The dam monkeys are up and down the drain pipes outside my bedroom window. And if thats not enough, they come right down to the dogs bowls and steel their food.. Our neighbours are complaining about the constant barking but who can blame the Poor dogs if the Damn Monkeys are simply taking over. There were about 30 of them yesterday sitting in front of our Garage... I thought Jack (Our dog) was going to have heart failure...LOL... I think the monkeys are doing it out of spite. They know it gets to Jack... LMAO...

Little "Fugly Bugger"

Made a few Fuglybuggers on the weekend, but i have chosen this one as my favorite..

No More Chicken, Eggs or Salad Please

Well its been three and a half weeks now that i have been following the Dr Atkins diet and boy oh boy am i sick of Chicken, eggs and Salad... If someone where to offer me a big slice of chocolate cake now, i am not sure i could say No... my body is craving sugar but my brain is telling me to hold out for another 4 weeks.. (LOL.. Does my brain really think i can do it) ... I have only lost 3.2Kg and it looks like it is stabalizing there.. Just a another 3 Kg's to loose and ille be happy... Its just very hard ... I go to bed early just so that i can fall asleep and not think about eating something nice or having a nice cup of coffee with sugar in it... Or perhaps a nice tall glass of coke... Oh how i miss drinking coke... That was probably the biggest challenge for me cause as we all know i can like to drink about 3-4 L of coke a day... I am a real sucker for a tall coke and ice.. Yummmy... (see now ime doing it again.. making myself want something i cant have)... Which idiot ever said woman must look after themselves and their bodies.. I bet it was Murphy.. Ill'e kill him if i ever find him...

Additions to my "Fuglybugger" Family

I am still deciding which is the Ugliest of them all.....LOL...

An Awesome Birthday

I had such a lovely Birthday yesterday (2nd August 2009). And boy did i get spoiled... I woke up really early with a lovely cup of coffee next to my bed. Lawrence brought in 2 big boxes... In the one box was a little oven to bake my fairies in (And make Chicken) he he he, and in the other was what we call a "Parcel". All sorts of goodies in it... The kids bought me a Hot Chocolate set.. " A tray with Hot chocolate cups" Really gorgeous... My mom gave me some money which i spent wisely. I bought a new Kettle type Earn, which keeps the water hot constantly (I hate waiting for the kettle to boil) and I bought a 6 Draw set to put all my Art stuff in as its lying around the whole house and getting in everyones way.... Later on we went for lunch to a place called Meer Cats in Hillcrest and I got more Pressies.... Wow... I got the most beautiful Fairy standing nexto a Unicorn from Lawrence's Mom . I got a very special Home Made (Pink, my favorite colour) Scarf from Janet, my sister in Law and Kelsey and Paul with the most beautiful handbag. Geez i have been so spoilt, i can get used to it...LOL... The luncheon was behond my expectations. Lawrence and i have both decided we have a new favorite place to go to on Sundays... Out of this world... Thank you to everyone for making my day so special. You guys mean the world to me....xxx
