Baby Shower!!!

For a Girl...

Today is one of my friends Baby Shower.

Thought I would make her a card.

She knows she is having a girl

so a sweet little girly card will do. 

birds on a wire...

In working progress

I have this thing for birds that gather on power lines. Most areas now where new houses are built power lines are no where to be found. So I appreciate still seeing power lines filled with birds. That was my main inspiration for this little project. I actually made it for a previous house we lived in to keep the warm air from the heat pump in one room only because we had no door separating the lounge from the passageway. I thought new house...... mmmmmmmmm...... what would we need a divider for. Well, my little cave that I sit in to create is more like a storage room. So I thought I could use the divider to cover the unpleasant looking shelving and at the same time be used to peg my inspirational research or cut out ideas onto it.

I still need to buy some hinges and then we will be all set. My dad built the frames for me. I found some fabric big enough to cover it. But it took me a while to put it all together.

all things ROUND...

Working on some out door deco. 

We recently had our deck extended and it has been so nice to be able to sit out there again and enjoy our meals. With having a little one and not have a fence or a gate can be a bit of a problem. LOL. So we have been waiting patiently for it all to be built. Finally there is a finished deck with fence and gate. We are still working on getting a latch attached. In the meantime a few bricks are doing the trick of keeping it locked.

There are some built in sections now where we are able to plant things.... So might consider that good old vege garden.

Our new deck YAY!!!

I have also thought it would be nice to have some beautiful creations hanging AROUND while we sit out there. So this little ROUND fiddly creation will soon be getting some more friends to keeps us company. I'll be sure to post some pics of the finished product when I eventually get there.

A start to designing a logo for us.

I have this thing for polka dots, so I'm thinking BIG DOT mmmmmmm. I think I like! What do you think.

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year to you all.

Levi going into the water clothes and all! Lucky we always have endless amounts of extra clothes packed in for him.

Loved the sunshine on the water. Was such a great day for a tan.

Here in New Zealand we are enjoying a New Year in Summer. Loved it thus far. Been to the beach a few times and soooooo enjoyed getting my feet wet in that gorgeous ocean. We took our son to the beach for a swim for the first time and oh my goodness he didn't want to get out of the water. He is definitely going to be a water-baby like his mummy.

Christmas 2012

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

Mega Market Week!!!

The week came and went so quickly. We were so proud of displaying our hard work.  Especially with it being our first market to the public. The set up was similar to Craftworld... we didn't have to be there to man our stalls. Which was really good, cause I couldn't see Levi surviving staying with me at a market for that long.
We did think that we would sell more seeing that the stall was going to be there for five days, but we didn't do too bad for a first time. It was a good learning curve for us.
