My Bedroom

I have been working on changing our bedroom around. I bought the bedside tables from Aldi, they are great for the price!! Still to get a lamp shade though looking for something in linen........The use of a combination of old mirrors, mirrors from my 21st birthday, a cream bird cage given by my mum for my birthday last year and my Nana's doilies which I have put onto a canvas above our bed. Silver frames + black and white photos of my husband and I back in the day.....

Nana's doilies put onto a couple of canvas's above our bed

Vintage charm = Love

I just love it!!

Custom Order Cushion

Starting to make some cushion covers of late. The one pictured above was a custom order, retangle cushion. I just love it!

Japanese fabric, linen blend, with bicycles, so colourful!!

For the back of cushion I used a dark denim with gorgeous natural colours buttons.

The back looked as good as the front, but forgot to take a picture before shipping it off to the client.

More Pretty Ribbon Skirts

Kimono Dolls skirt in pink, edged in a pretty green satin ribbon.

This fabric would look equally as pretty edged in red ribbon, don't you think??

P.S - how cute is my little model, just adorable!

Skirts - $25.00

Pretty Ribbon Skirts

Picture below, the Christmas skirts I made for the Christmas just gone by.

Bejewelled skirts printed with Christmas baubles, pretty ribbons and touches of gold, edged with pink ribbon - still Christmas, without being the usual red and green.

Just gorgeous!!

I had also made a gorgeous singlet to match this skirt but will feature the new style of singlets I am making very soon.

Mum's Project

Mum has been busy renovating an investment property. It looks great, as she has had is painted inside and out. A total renovation.

The house

New bathroom

Existing kitchen with new bench top - the old bench top was black
New tile splash back. Look much brighter!

Lounge room - Loving the curtains. The french grey check looks great!

Bathrooms

Image source unknown
I have been looking at getting a new bathroom sooner rather than later now. The paint is peeling off the bath, and the tile paint is coming off the bottom of the tiles in the shower. I love this look, and having the drawers built in, is the answer to the storage solution.

Christmas in July

How fast is this year going by!! I couple of photos I took at Mum's last Christmas. She has five grandchildren and they each get a christmas stocking from Nana.........along with quite a few extras. Got to love grand parents!!

Fabric Headbands

What a great long weekend we have had, and the weather has been perfect!

Yesterday we met up with our friends I met nearly 7 years ago at a mother's group in Clovelly, the 4 of us the still keep in touch. We went to Bobbin Head and had a great day catching up, children playing and exploring and of course a BBQ lunch. Today I have been busy making up some fabric headbands, I have a few orders and thought I had better get them made up! They sell for $10 each and are so comfortable to wear!!

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Belinda, have a great day!!

The Tooth Fairy

My daughter lost her first tooth last weekend. Well we had actually just walked in the door at Mum's late Thursday night when she announced the tooth was out. Not more the a minute later my mum came out and gave her a tooth fairy box. (picture above) We carefully placed the tooth on the fairy's flower ready for the tooth fairy to collect. She was so excited the fairy found her tooth in Bathurst. We had a great weekend away and celebrated my youngest son's 4th birthday. I am now busy trying to organise his party with his pre-school friends. .

Enjoy the long weekend!!

Pink Pom Poms

I have been busy making pink pom poms for my daughter's room. They are made from pink tissue paper. The one on the wall got squashed by my son so I thought I'd hang it against the wall. Tutorial on how to make them can be found on the Martha Stewart website.

Pirate Party

I had lost motivation on this blog for a while there but I'm back.

My youngest son is having a birthday next month, so I am busy getting a few things organised for his party and it is a priate theme. I love the Paper Eskimo invites and party accessories they have. I plan on doing a desert table and using red, white and black. Started collecting the pirate patches for all the guests and some pirate stickers. Better start on the party bags soon. They will be red and white stripe to match in with the cup cake cases. June will be here before I know it, so had better get busy!!

Wedding Anniversary

This weekend my husband and I will have been married for 11 years.

Time flies!!

So thought I would post some wedding photos I scanned on the computer....

I bought the silver silk for my dress and the black silk for the bridesmaids dresses in Thailand on my way back from a trip to the UK. Mum flew to Thailand to meet up with me and help me find just what I was looking for.

What a fantastic day we had, surrounded by all our family and friends. We were married in Bathurst and it was a rather chilly weekend, it had been snowing the week before.

We had our photos taken at my bridesmaid - Belinda's house....it was the perfect place.

A collection of photos - Me and my bridesmaids, plus all of the wedding party, photos are a bit small so hard to see everyone clearly; sorry! Dad walking me into the church.

Me at home before the wedding.

Chandelier Wall Decal

I ordered a Chandelier Wall Decal the other week from esty and it arrived this week. I thought it would be quite easy to apply, but they are actually quite tricky and time consuming. Especially the chandelier as it has so many separate bits. Anyway I finally got it on the wall and here it is.

Prints for the Bathroom

Trying to make the bathroom look as good as I can, so at the gift fair I picked up these prints for the bathroom. I was actually after something that was framed but they had all sold. These are a bit rustic with the wire and look fine hanging above the bath.
