New website!

It's not quite finished yet, but I am very excited to announce that my newly updated website is up! Hurrah!! I'm using Pictobrowser for my gallery which is very simple to use, but also seems a bit unreliable. Sometimes the pictures don't load up in the gallery, I may decide to switch to lightbox. What do you think?

Blurry

E in a t-shirt that I decorated with a cute print of ants and flowers. He's been sick this week with a sore throat and he has produced more snot than ever before! I've been chasing him around with tissues for days.

I'm feeling a little bit stressed out about Christmas at present. My mind is cluttered with all this STUFF that I need to do and make and organize.

I am so happy that we have room for a Christmas tree this year! I am also super excited about making a Gingerbread house like this one my Mum made one year. That's me as a small thing, I think I'm almost 3 in that photo.

My creative space

A whole lot of fabrics newly washed and folded. They're all ready to make things or sit there until I find some complimentary fabrics.



This week I hope to make a stripey cushion cover for the foam on Ethan's Ikea drawers. My other plans for his room include making some curtains, painting it light blue or green, and getting a rug for the floor. But maybe not all this week.

Today my Mum brought around my old Doll house that she made for my sister and I when we were little (My Mum is a clever lady). My husband suggested that we do it up for Ethan as a Christmas present. I'm going to update all the furniture for him by repainting.

At our place

My husband and I have this running joke about eggplants. One of the stores I used to do merchandising for had fake eggplants for room displays and Steve thought they were hilarious! Fake vegetables are pretty funny aren't they! I often found chewed ones around the store which small children (or adults) had gnored on. Real ones are much nicer too look at AND chew on, but these didn't last more than an hour before I put them into a Thai green curry.

This tomato plant came up from seed. It is totally going off!! I hope to have lots of tomatoes soon.

As long as our resident possums don't get to them first. These possums are "very noisy!" as Ethan would say. We call them the Wombats or Elephants on the roof because they sound like they are a lot bigger than they are.

Flannel flowers

I found these flannel flowers while my sister and I were looking at places to have her wedding.


I will show you our research for the wedding soon! We have been trawling flickr for examples of what we want to do. It's so much easier than when I got married. Don't you just love the Internet!
