A baby shower and gifts

So a few months back, I mentioned that I purchased a sewing machine. I have been loving all the fun things I am slowly teaching myself to create, and as I recently had a friends baby shower to attend I decided to whip up a couple of things-I also made a heat pack, but that photo will have to wait as it is on my phone. Here they are: an elephant and a turtle.


I also decided to get creative in the kitchen and made some yummy vanilla buttercakes and baby cupcake flags to decorate. They were a hit. Lucky I sampled one at home as I didn't get another.Yum

some photos at last

Well I promised photos and until now I have failed to deliver, so while I have a few free minutes I have decided to pop some pics up. I can't believe we are almost in 2009, this year has just flown as they always do. Ok, so this first photo is of my Louis chair I mentioned. I think it is just gorgeous and too good to sit on! She will look lovely in that nursery that I have planned in my head for the future.

My cake and my back are in a magazine.haha

My gorgeous photographer came over this afternoon (we are now neighbours) to show me something. She had just received copies of the Melbourne Wedding guide which had a full page shot of Clinton and myself in a laneway kissing behind a parasol. We were quite excited, especially as we had no idea about it. Later, I was flicking through the rest of the mag and found a picture of our cake. It brought back so many memories and now I want to do it all again. Oh how I love weddings (and all the planning/decorating). What a lovely surprise.

The school year is almost over...

I cannot wait until the school holidays. I have two more days of students then one week of planning, cleaning and organising myself for the year ahead. This year is my first teaching and it has been such a long and tiring one. I have had fun and some not so fun days, but I am so excited about Christmas and the break ahead. Yay

I have been planning the way my nursery will look for sometime now. No we are not pregnant, nor are we even planning on it for a few more years. I do however like to plan ahead and so put these things together and I think they look quite pretty. Oh, I do already have a Louis chair, but mine is white edged with a linen latte colour backing. I will take a pic later

Ok, so I am the worlds slackest blogger. It's terrible, because I spend a lot of time reading blogs, but never have the time to tend to my own. I am going to work on changing that-maybe it could be a new years resolution?
