Four Things . . .
It’s been an interesting weekend . . . my almost 3-year-old decided to throw a weekend-long tantrum. I’m starting to think that she may be coming down with the flu (that I am just getting over) since her behaviour is certainly unusual. Thus little crafting has been achieved - just these two t-shirts that I appliqued (for me :-)). A shirt with some orange pears, and another with a red robin :-).
So it was a nice surprise to find out that I’ve been tagged by the lovely Linda. Here goes:
Four Jobs I’ve Had:
- Research Assistant
- Children’s Online Bookshop Owner/Operator
- IT Business Analyst
- and that’s about it! I’ve been an IT Business Analyst for the last 9 years - my first real job straight out of Uni.
Four Movies I Could Watch Over & Over:
- LOTR Return of the King (I like the other 2 films as well but the 3rd installment is just beyond brilliant)
- The Fiddler on the Roof (The music can linger in my head for weeks)
- Emma
- And a whole bunch of comedies.
Four Places I Have Lived (Apart From Where I am Now):
- Sydney, Aus
- Clearwater, Florida, USA
- Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
- Manila, Philippines
Four TV Shows I Love:
- House
- This year’s Australian Idol
- Everybody Loves Raymond (even re-runs still crack me up)
- Northern Exposure (when it was still on TV)
Four Places I Have Been For a Vacation:
- Fiji
- Greece
- Hong Kong
- Singapore
Four Websites I Visit Daily:
- Bloglines
- Flickr
- Etsy

Four Favourite Foods:
- Japanese food - my ultimate favourite!
- Thai
- Seafood - mostly Prawns & Oysters
- Rocky Road - whether it be in the form of chocolate, a slice, or ice cream - it’s all good :-)
Four Places I Would Rather Be:
- I love spending time with my family in the USA
- Sydney - it’s where I grew up and most of my closest friends live there
- New Zealand - so much natural beauty to experience!
- Japan - I’ve always wanted to visit for so many reasons (food, culture, fabric - haha!); perhaps when the girls are older :-)
Four People I’m Tagging:
If you feel like it :-)
Oh, and Rhelynn, Vera, Brooke & Ellia too :-) Would love to know more about you!
I looovee Japanese food too, and wish I could eat it everyday. Mmmmm yum.
And going to japan…I’m with you on that one.
the tees look fabulous!
this has been great to read Jhoanna, you have had SUCH an interesting life so far, it’s amazing what you have done. I too LOVE Emma!
Lovely tees - I’m glad you got something done and I hope the tantrum is finished.
Really like the shirts. Did the tag, so give it a read when you have time. Been there with grumpy kids. Gets easier when they are older and in a mood. You can give them something to entertain themselves with and just leave them alone until they are over it.
Thanks for the tag. I’m with you on a fabric run to Japan. Even better let’s make it a mummy shopping holiday, that way we can selfishly spend the kids plane tickets on fabric!!! ;) It’s a daydream I let myself have when my 2year is on her back screaming!!
Very cute tees for you! Ahh, we’d love to visit Japan too, someday - by then we might have little ones that will be too little! *sigh* You’ve really lived in a lot of places, wow - and I can definitely see you as a children’s book store operator ;o)
ps: I did this meme back in January!
Gosh I loved Northen Exposure when it first came out. I love quirky and individual characters, especially in a far removed location.
House is great too, I am definitely into non steroetypical characters. I like his bite!
The t-shirt appliques are simply gorgeous.
what a great read. i love finding out more about people. i love emma too, and sense and sensibility…great renditions of the books.
and thanks for the tag, i’m happy to oblige :0) x
ah, thx for the tag! will do tomorrow for sure! and i love reading up on you!!!! boy, you have been to alot of places!!!!
i understand about the tantrums… diego had me in tears the other day while i was on the phone with my mom saying “how on earth am i gonna do this when baby #2 comes along?!” but i guess tantrums are a part of them testing us and what we will and wont allow… i can see why so many parents give in and give up… i rather win the battle although i swear, we both end up worn out and i wonder if i really did win…. discipline is NO FUN no matter what- so much work and training and emotions…. but we plant these seeds now and eventually we will see the fruit of our labor….. sigh….
did i say i love those shirts? and that your youngest is just a sweet doll?! is she your inspiration to your chibli dolls?
i think you are an amazing woman 2 little girls job and creative.. i love reading about fabulous woman interesting woman rock…. .x
