No more 3 yr olds in our house

This is our big 4 year old boy!

After presents this morning he was off to kinder where Mummy made a surprise appearance with a birthday cake! 

He also got to choose who he wanted to have sit on his birthday table with him and walked around to each child offering his cake.

Happy birthday my beautiful baby boy. It seems like just yesterday you were born and now you’re so grown up! I’m amazingly proud of you and love you to bits, always.

You had me at... craft room {random freebie}

Another random printable already! I got the bug a little bit :)

Just click the image, right click to save and print at own leisure!

Random Freebie

'Tuesday Freebies' has now morphed into 'Random Freebies'... you know just to keep you on your toes.
Or because I can't keep up with every Tuesday.
Either one...

Anyways, this, I love. A printable featuring Mr. Darcy's proposal to Elizabeth... *dreamy eyes*

Peek-a-boo

Just checking in, there’s been some goings on behind the scenes and new things are emerging.

Soon I’ll be able to share with you, but until then I’ll leave you with a little hint:

 

 

Mum, avert your eyes

Seriously, if you go past this point you will ruin your birthday surprise!

The rest of you please carry on!

……

This is my new invention…

Can it be called an invention if it doesn’t actually ‘do’ anything? Well, I’m calling it that anyway. I’ve been looking at this Etsy shop for ages, wishing I could have one of the beautiful little terrariums, sadly they’re from the US and shipping costs an arm and a leg to Australia.

So I decided to make my own (actually this one is for my Darling Mother for her birthday coming up). I ordered the little globe from a wedding supply company (they’re meant for tea candles) and soldered together a fork, a spoon and a plate stand left over from a jewellery tree.

The cute little air plant came from this ebay store they have a huge range of air plants- some beautiful colours! You can buy a clump and break it up into smaller sections if you want more plants. They were also really helpful on how to look after them.

I’m so pleased with how this little idea turned out! Hopefully my Mum likes her birthday present too!

 

Cack

Please excuse the little blogger hiatus, for the last 2 days I have been this colour:

And I can assure you I certainly wasn’t smiling.

The dreaded gastro completely levelled me and I still feel strangely weak in my arms and legs. Happily though, I seem to possess the super power of ‘keeping your germs to yourself’ because no one else has come down with it *yet*. 

But I’m bouncing back quickly and ready to show you another little invention tomorrow!

Until then!

 

Big blue eyes

Yesterday I had a little photo shoot with a good friend and her 2 little boys. It went really well, considering how hard it is to gets kids to do what you want. Basically I followed the older one around while he played with his mum, and got down on my tummy to get some shots of the baby. I think I got some really cute pictures out of it, this is just some…

This photography thing is just a hobby (like I don’t have enough hobbies!), but I like giving my friends nice photos of their kids!

Please excuse me

My Hubby has taken the kids to swim and stay at the lake tonight.

So I’m on my own…

Currently to be found swanning around the house in my undies (thanks to the putrid muggy weather) and contemplating how far I will have to walk tomorrow if I eat this:

See you tomorrow, 10kg heavier and hopefully fully dressed!

He he, I love my Husband!

Gumboots

More fun to wear if you wear nothing else!

 

Look at this!!

Oh the adorableness is sickening!

It’s a birds house doll house! All the work of this lovely talented lady!

Ohhhhhhh… the detail!

You should definitely go and have a look at Amanda’s blog Bijourgirl etc…

She also has a facebook page where you can see her beautiful jewellery like this:

And this:

I’m in Lurve!

 

Just something I whipped up

With Christmas and then everything that took place after, I never got a chance to post about these designs

This one is a fave, the little copper ring hooks on to the heart to act as the clasp. It has little balls hanging on the bottom that jingle very lightly as you walk

And this has gone to Denmark with a dear friend who came back to Australia for a visit and got caught up in the floods. She still had a great time and got to see Australia like not many do - sandbagging and desperately trying to save houses.

More tiny little balls that jingle when you walk, this time in ring form. It’s so simple yet so much fun to play with.

And this is so delightful and vintage{esque}

I’ll admit that it took a little while to make and solder all those teeny tiny bits together (without melting other bits). But I really live how it turned out!

Anyone who has any thoughts on these designs, please share, they are very welcome!
