GALAXY SERIES

Last night I had another play with the Alcohol Inks.

And I finally hit on something I really, really love!

I did one, and immediately decided to call it 'Galaxy'.  Then I did another one.  And wiped it all off cos it sucked.
The 3rd one came out awesome, so I have added it to my first Galaxy one... so now I've got a 'Galaxy Series' going on...

 ABOVE:  Galaxy 1.

ABOVE:  Galaxy 2.

I think I could have worked on Galaxy 2 a bit longer, and given it a bit more depth, but it was getting late and I was worried I would over do it. (THAT is easy to do!)

What do you think of them?  Like.  Dislike.  I'm thinking of putting them in a frame.  Maybe making more and seeing if I can sell them at the local market?  That's just a thought right now.

It's Friday right?  Which means Steve will be back tonight after work.  He will be staying for the weekend, then both he and Bex will be going home.  And the boys of course.

Hopefully Archer is feeling a bit better by the time Steve gets here. Nothing worse than a grizzly, teething toddler.

Thankfully Keera is coming right.  Her appetite isn't that good yet, but she is eating small amounts, so I'm not worried.

Dante certainly seems to have his appetite back... he was caught hiding under a bed yesterday, eating chocolates!  😄😇😉 *laughing*

So what are we doing today?  No bloody idea.

If it's warm enough, I'd like to think we will get the kids paddle pool out and let them splash around in it.  That should keep them happy for ages.

I'm going to make a couple more, smaller 'Galaxy' tiles.  I bought some little tiles yesterday from Mitre 10, they are like ... $1.16 each!  So cheap!!!  And the best thing is, if you stuff it up, you can just wipe it all off and start again. ♥ LOVE IT ♥

So... that's it for now.

Catch ya later.

ONWARD...

It's a stunning day!  Stew is mowing the lawns, the kid's paddle pool is full and warming up.  Kids are having lunch, then a swim.
Hopefully they get all nice and tired and sleep this afternoon... especially Archer.

He's cried NON STOP ... all day so far.  He's miserable.

 ABOVE:  Bex blowing up the paddle pool, while 3 little kids wait... then finally get to step in it.

 ABOVE:  Their little faces say it all!

ABOVE:  They didn't last long... the sun went behind clouds and they got cold.  

In fact, Dante is BLUE!  I'm going to cuddle him in a blanket to get him warm again.  Scary seeing his lips BLUE!

After lunch we went down to Mitre 10 for a couple of things for framing the Galaxy tiles, then came home and had a wonderful afternoon on the lawn with the kids.

Steve is on his way ... hopefully the traffic isn't too horrendous, but something tells me it will be.  Thousands will be heading out of Auckland for New Year's Eve somewhere else I bet.

Steve got here safely, and apparently the traffic wasn't heavy coming this way at all.
A....mazing.

I made a lovely seafood salad for dinner tonight, we had it over lettuce.  Really healthy.
The ice cream afterwards... not so much.  lol

Winding down for the evening...
