it's been a while

Hello everyone (hope I have a few readers)

It’s been a while since i have posted on my blog. Don't know what happened to the month of July, but it's gone. I've been busy working on my Etsy store and I’m now offering custom-made teacup candles where you can choose your favourite fragrance. I have heaps of fragrances available, and they are SO GOOD! Who would have thought that you could put the lovely scents of coffee, chocolate or blueberry cheesecake into fragrance oil. YUM! Now I’m waiting for my first sale, still. Just made my shipping costs a bit lower since they must be a bit of a turn-off, shipping from Australia is so expensive! I guess we are a long way away from everywhere...

My fiancé Luke and I have just been away last weekend to visit his crazy, lovely family up in Newcastle near Sydney. It's been a big weekend with a 70th birthday, a massive family breakfast, lunch with both grandparents, playing with his little cousins and so on.
I also have a cousin of mine currently living in Sydney which is nice. I'm not the only one of my family on the other side of the world.
I went to visit her for a day and we took her two little boys to Balmoral Beach in Sydney, built a big sandcastle that should be able to withstand all sorts of attacks, had fish and chips for lunch (Balmoral seagulls had their fair share too) and enjoyed a lovely day. The Kids must have liked it too, when i was about to leave her three-year-old old looked at me like he couldn't believe it and shouted out in German: "Willst Du etwa sson dehn?!?" Translated and under consideration of his three-year-old slang/dialect it would sound like "Do you leally wanna do home aleady?!?"
Now I’m back in Melbourne, soon back to my nannying work. Yep, can't escape the Kids. But where else would all that great inspiration come from...? :-)
Saying that I better make my way to bed for some inspirational sleep, spent all afternoon sorting my tax stuff out, YUK! But I’m almost over and done with it now.

See you soon, dear readers and have a good night...
