Loving french toast with bacon!  Yes, you heard me right - bacon and french toast is so delicious! I've finally been converted after years of wrinkling my nose when my friends have discussed the heavenly experience of bacon with their pancakes or french toast.  So yum!

Thankful for this guy as well as my awesome Dad and Dad-in-law as we celebrated Father's day yesterday here in New Zealand.  Love the guys in my life and so thankful for them.  Excuse the cheesy grins below...

It's been a really busy week and to be honest, I am so tired that I can hardly type!  I've just got to say that all of you who link up each week really inspire me - some of you are going through such tough things, and yet you still choose to post things that you are grateful and thankful for!  Thank you for joining in and inspiring us all... especially me!

Here are a few of the things I am loving at the moment...

Loved making another Sock Monkey up, straight after our little tutorial/bloggers get together the other day!


New fabric!  I've been too busy getting excited over wool lately that I had almost forgotten what it was like to drool over fabric (yes, I know I sound crazy).


I'm loving all the little pieces of paper stuck on most of the doors of our house at the moment.  A certain four year old decided each door needed a sign and a picture so we knew what room it was. Totally love her attempts at spelling too!


Bacon and Egg Pie!!!  Mum would often make this for us growing up and I love making it too.  Cheap and easy to make... and so delicious, especially on a cold winters night for dinner.

Our tutor was the amazing sock monkey making Queen, Leonie, and our hostess was the ever so lovely Jacksta (with her flash new sewing machine).

Of course we started off with hot drinks and delicious food (including the BEST cheesecake I've ever tasted, made by Jackie), the kids hit it off straight away, and then there was nattering and laughing between us girls before we decided we had better make a start on the monkeys!!

Leonie was a fabulous tutor and it was so much fun getting to make my first ever sock monkey. She is going to be doing a sock monkey tutorial soon with a linky for you to join in with your creations.

So, a big thank you to my amazing Whangarei blogging buddies - you are all so precious.  Was really good to hang out with you Leonie, Tracy, Jackie, Becky and Renette.  We also missed you girls who couldn't make it!!

See Leonie, Becky and Jackie's take on the day too.
