How I Would Feel If I Was Cally

Overwhelmed. Stressed. This is how I would feel if I was Cally from the book 'A Dog Called Homeless'. Overwhelmed. I would feel overwhelmed at the thought of our sold house and moving to a new house that Friday. I would feel especially overwhelmed because my Dad didn't even tell me before he sold the house. Stressed. I would feel stressed with so much going on in my life. Only one parent to go to for help, my friends being nasty and teasing me, a stray dog always hanging around me and most of all moving house with such short notice. There would be so much to keep track of. If I could I would change the story. Make it so Dad talks to me before selling the house and have my friends not tease me. These would be my wishes if I were Cally.

Funky Things To Draw

I was super stoked by the quality of my drawing when I completed my 'Safari' masterpiece. What a great effort on my half but all the credit should really be going to Hinkler Books for their incredible book 'Funky Things To Draw'. This book taught me how to draw an amazing baby elephant. Drawing is made easy with its step by step instructions. I would not recommend this book for absolute beginners but if you have some experience in drawing and want to extend yourself this is the perfect book for you. Experiment. Experiment with a variety of colouring utensils. Pencils, felts, crayons? It's up to you! Find out what your creativity really can do!

Who's Cooking Tonight?

Have you heard of 'Who's Cooking Tonight?'? It is an awesome cook book by Claire Gourley. I love this book because it has easy to follow insturctions as well as fun tips and facts about food. I have tried two of the recipes in this book and they both work great. The 'creamy bacon carbonara' was so delicous that it was all gone before I had a chance to take a photo of it. I also made 'berry nice caupcakes' which were too good to be true! These cupcakes looked like ordinary vanilla cupcakes with icing on top but the moment I took a bite my toung swam in the illusion. They have berries in the middle of them!!! I used rasberries but I'm sure any berry would taste good. One spoonful of mixture, two berries in the middle, another spoonful of mixture.....oh so good! I definitely recomend getting this cook book whether it is from a library or from your local book shop (either way will work). Now, it's time to get cooking!
