My name is Carol, I am 46 years old I have 2 kids, Ryan, 14 and Tegan, 12. Last November 2009 I got married to the most wonderful man, his name is Neville, he also has 2 kids, Kirsten, 18 and Jarrod, 12.
We live in Burnie which is a city but by world standards Id say it’s a small city with a population of 19,030. We are buying our own home.
I love crafting, I like to make ATCs, Dotees, Felt Food, Stuffies, Inchies and many more. I am happy when I have a sewing needle in my hand.

Scary but Good news

I got a phone call the other day to let me know I could go into hospital on the 16th April to have my shoulder done. ( for those that don't know I (apparently) have a spur growth on my shoulder that points itself into the tendons of my arm causing a lot of pain) I have been waiting over 2 yours to get this done, my original surgeon left Burnie and now there is apparently some locums here to do some catch up surgeries. I am off today to meet my new surgeon and then next Thursday I go "under the knife" I actually am quite scared about the whole thing. But hey, Imagine the crafting I can do with a "good" shoulder lol.

I also am on Twitter (does that mean I am a twit???) follow me here http://twitter.com/neca84

A Day Out

Yesterday Saturday the 28th March Neville and I took Ryan and Tegan for a drive and a day out we went to railton, the town of Toparies, there were some beautiful designs, even if they do cheat a bit and use frames to grow the trees around and trimmed. We then went to latrobe which is an antiquey type town, checked out some cool shops then went into Devonport for lunch at KFC (ooops there went the diet!!) We wandered around another antique shop in Devonport and then started for home, stopped at Ulverstone for coffee and cake, drove through Penguin and then home. I felt exhausted, I was tired from driving and all I wanted to do was have a lay down for 1/2 an hour and Neville persuaded me to go with him to get a load of firewood, (I hate woodcutting, with a passion) but being the dutiful wife I am (pmsl) went with him.
