Kiddy Cards!

Here are the last few cards I have made. One for Beautiful little Lily Maree. One for twins Georgia and Xander. And finally one for little Dylan's 1st birthday. With all these little people to celebrate I haven't even had time to think about making Christmas cards and tags. Perhaps next week!

It's been a while!

Hi everyone! It's been almost 2 months since I last posted on my blog. During this time of no blogging I've been busying myself with sewing of all things. We have had a run of baby girls born to friends and family. I've been making each of the little sweethearts the cutest little ruffled nappy covers and singlet sets. At the moment I'm working on a red and white spot set for Gracey and a floral pink set for beautiful baby Eden. When I've got these finished I'll get Gracey to model her new outfit for you all!

I'm also still creating items with paper. With all the babies born lately, I've had a production line of baby cards on the go. I'll also post some of these images shortly.

Almost forgot...I've also been making tomatoe chutney and bottled salad beetroot from our garden. Both recipes are super easy and super yummy! Expect to see these recipes appearing in the next month!

Lost MoJo!

Just a quick post to say that I am alive and kicken!!! I just think i've lost my MoJo at the moment. Or perhaps it could be I've lost my ability to have a moment to think about things for myself. With two little ones, a hubby and a 5acre home...oh yes and the 2 afternoons I work, life is just hectic. I'm not left with much down time these days.

I hope to add some Christmas inspired pieces soon.

2 in 1!

It's been a while...but I've finally got around to participating in a couple of challenges. First I took the colours from Makeesha's Inspiration Challenge. Then I used this layout from Friday Sketchers. To create this card for one of my two lots of friends who became engaged on the weekend (more excuses to buy pretty dresses...engagment parties and weddding!). It's not a typical Engagement card but I think it serves the purpose well. Again I had a play with watercolouring using my stampin write markers and ink pads. To add a bit of depth I also covered the word love in Crysal Effects. I'm no sure what Stampin Up stamp set the word Love comes from as I stamped it ages ago at a Stampin Night. I finally got to use the 5th Avenue Floral set to create the background paper and grabbed the little heart from the Cheep Talk set. The cute polka dots come from the So Saffron Pattern Design Series Paper Pack.

Organising Gracey's Wardroe

My little girl is very blessed to have so many people who love and care about her. Due to this extreme love, she also has an extreme wardrobe, even though she is only 9 weeks old. She's a very lucky little girl!

Due to the amount of clothes in her wardrobe, I made these size tags to help organise and also to ensure that she wore everything. She's growing so quickly, I'd hate for something to never be worn. WIth these size tags hung on the rails I can now put clothes in the appropriate areas. They were so easy to make. I just used Microsoft Publisher to make the tag template and print the size. I then cut them out and curly embossed them by running them through my Big Kick Sizzix Machine.

An easy project that works well and looks cute too!

Green Thumbs!

What a great day it has been today! I not only got up and went for a walk/jog with my hubby this morning but it also rained. Putting some much needed water in our tanks. Once the weather cleared I was left with a beautiful warm sunny Spring day..perfect for gardenig. Off to the nursery I went to get some vegetable seedlings and herbs. Then it was home for fresh prawns for lunch and a nanny nap wth my little ones. To end this glorious day, I headed outside with my little family to pick mulberries and plant out our vege patch. Emy had a lovely time helping his Dad.

I just love Spring!!!
