Its a BOY

Look what we created. 

We have been blessed with the cutest little man who I have totally fallen in love with. 

Already a week old! I cant believe its already been a week.

Sewing up a storm

This late in pregnancy I have become a bit of a house hermit! Though this has left me time for more sewing and I have found it really relaxing. I have made a few colour on the go's for gifts and a few doorstops and cushions. I was quite impressed with my cushion making. My friend asked if I could recover some cushions that were falling apart and I really took my time and carefully measured up and cut out. I was extremely proud at the finish and the way I had worked out how to copy them.

I have also been increasing my fabric stash lately (naughty) and I found these fabrics I could n't go home without.

But I have just been staring at them longing to make something but not wanting to cut it up!! Silly really. Though I cant make up my mind... maybe a bag or an apron or even a lap quilt, Oh my! the decisions!

Another craft adventure I am on is making a quiet book for my niece. I have been wanting to do this for awhile and after looking at some other very inspiring blogs have started  creating one.

It feels like I planned for ages, maybe procrastinating my start. But I finally found a great tutorial here to get me started.

Im also loving making softies, and this is my latest...

Beetle Bug

Next is Henny house! 

Candy apple day

I'm still Pregnant!!! 39+ weeks and we are all on edge hoping it happens any day. I was feeling down and over it but since the holidays have pepped up abit, thankfully.

We have been enjoying the holidays alot. A few days have been spent in our pjs! A few playdates, bowling, the movies and

The other day we had our friend Olivia over and thought it would be fun to make candy apples. They look so pretty, ruby red. They also tasted good and kept little people busy for the afternoon!

I have also been playing with my new Iphone! Such a lucky girl to receive a new Iphone, just out of the blue. Im still getting used to it but have checked out a few aps (games mostly! haha) but really I haven't even scratched the surface. 

I got a camera ap where it has funny backgrounds 

The only pain is keeping the kids away from it! 

 Another birthday, another lucky girl receiving a colour on the go!

I decided to extend my designs and make one from scraps. I love all these pink materials and with only scraps left, I decided to add them in and mix it up. I really liked the outcome, though next time I will not sew the ribbon on so tight as it made it bunch a little. But over all I thought it was extremely cute.

I also added a little flap over the pencil section to keep the pencils in when you are on the go! 

I needed to flip the pencils upwards as they were quite longer than the pens or textas used in other designs and the little flap finishes it off nicely, balances the design and looks cute! 

Overall - I think its cute and was quite pleased as was the mum giving it as a gift.

HELLO SPRING, Hello Spring Palette

September has begun and I couldn't be happier. I LOVE Spring. The gardens, flowers, butterflies, singlet tops, pedicures, fruit tisanes, and the warmer weather. We plan on lots of days at the beach and barbeques in the backyard. And with it will be the addition of the new baby (EXCITING) and with this, I will be getting my body back in shape (hopefully!) and will need some beautiful spring outfits to keep up with my new addition!

I have begun to compile a spring palette for myself after being inspired by Collettes fall palette challenge sounds like a great idea and a lot of fun. I have only just brushed the surface but Im thinking soft florals and soft billowy (is that a word!) tops and some aline skirts and housewife dresses!
Have you got a spring palette??

Im in love with my pedicure I was treated too on friday. The colour is so bright and fresh and takes the focus off my bosoms and belly..... for now!

Out the Door

The orders are finished and wrapped and on their way. I am really pleased with them. 

They look so lovely all wrapped up, I cant believe I made them!

But tomorrow the sewing continues......

Dressing up for Book week

To celebrate bookweek and fundraise for less fortunate schools to buy books, the kids got to dress up as their favourite book characters and participate in a parade around the plaza. Who knew this would be the most exciting thing this week! The kids were up AND DRESSED by 6.45am the morning of the parade. And to be honest the excitement was contagious. I was excited for them and couldnt wait to go and watch the parade.

And I love the attitude that went with the characters! check out Master C's poses!

Can you guess who they were?
