Another month gone...

Boy where has the time gone. Heaps has happened within the family. Sophie turned five and went to school. She seems to be settling in well or though getting her to school is a bit of a mission. She is really happy though when we pick her up at the end of the day, so we don't think it is as bad as she makes out. Its a great school and we are happy with it. I think settling a five year old into a school environment would have to be one of the most stressful things you can do as a caring parent. At least I found it so. I am only now starting to feel myself again. What an intense time. 

Ollie has settled into his new pre-school and its as if he's been there for years. An old pro. He loves it and has several of the older girls looking after him, anazing at two, what is he going to be like when he is older. At least he is happy and well looked after.

It's Deans birthday tomorrow, so I'm in the middle of baking him a cake... better not let it burn.

Now that life is feeling a little more settled and every one where they are meant to be, I can get stuck in again and do what it is that I do.  Thanks Norm and the guys from Meta Solutions, the blog looks great.

Very exciting time coming up whan we announce the winner of our Jewellery prize, a sterling silver and paua tree pendant. So watch this space it could be your name drawn if you joined our Dean Hawkins Jewellery Newsletter. August 7th is the day. I will post it here and on our website, www.deanhawkins.co.nz.

Better go and take the cake out of the oven. I've tried for the first time a chocolate hazelnut cake. Never made it before. I have my fingers crossed, so far its not cooking and still very wet in the middle. That is what happens when you experiment I spose.

It's getting late and I have a cake to rescue, so I will say good night and will thing of something jewelry related to say tomorrow. Bring on some focus. Night everyone.
