Mr M's Key Art

After work and on weekends when I am tapping away at the computer or watching tv or crocheting away.

Mr M is busy out in the shed creating his works of art.

One day he came across a bunch of old keys and said he could make them into something.

I am sure I muttered something along the lines of "that's nice dear"

Before I knew it some little keyballs emerged.

Then some middle sized ones and big ones.

He has even made some footballs, they make great trophies.

And, he is experimenting with some bowls.

I like the idea of a key bowl to keep my car keys in.

I am afraid he is not very tech savvy, I have been trying to persuade him to open an etsy store and start a facebook page.

What to you think? Should he?

Any advice or suggestions?

I might just start with a MoerKey page up on the blog here.

How pretty is this lovely room.

I love the fire in the grate.

The soft greys and the ever so slightly shabby mirrors.

I am happy to see blogger appears to be behaving again.

It was a busy week last week.

Bookclub, parents club and two lots of squash. 

Ok I wasn't going to mention squash but Janette did ask as well we did just happen to win the grand final.

Another big glass to add to the various size squash glasses. yipee.

I am taking a break now over winter it is just too cold to be standing around for hours at night in the cold unheated courts.

Squash is pretty much a dying sport in the country.

It's sad really.

It's a great sport. Very competitive, high intensity and requires a lot of planning and quick thinking. 

When you are on the court you really can't think of anything other than the game. 

It is also excellent for the butt muscles!

Instead, I have taken up running and am thoroughly addicted.

I love it.

This is how I imagine I look.

The reality

A skinny version of this is more my reality.

I am doing the Couch to 5 kms app on my ipod and am into the 5th week. Yay me.

In other sporting news,

big boy kicked 2 goals in footy and got a $5 sunicrust bakery award,

Miss B shot 4 netball goals and got a tenpin bowling voucher and Master B smiled and had a wow of a time at Auskick.

And just so Mr M doesn't feel left out, I should say he has been swimming 3 times a week doing 50 laps of the local pool. He is crazy!

I would love to hear of your sporting news and if anyone is doing the C to 5 I would love to know how it is going.

This weekend marked the start of the 2011 Auskick Junior Australian Rules football program.

Our youngest kitted up in his favourite team colours.

St Kilda is his team and his idol,

captain Nick Reiwoldt.

Check out those biceps!

See, number 12, just like Nick.

I just love those long, slender legs.

He came home with his socks down round his ankles, grubby knees, 

some mud on his tummy and a grin from ear to ear!
