This is how much my little man has grown. Love him too bits.

Creative ideas...

Hi all
I have been keeping myself quite busy these last few months and have realized that I have posted a thing for nearly a year. Man a little person can keep you on your toes all day long. I took these pics... Trying some photography skills. Or more so just trying to take some nice pics. That is what my cat Cleo does most of the time ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz :) The fern was a gift for Christmas. I'm not so good with looking after plants but hey it is still very much alive.

Quick update....

Hi there. I haven't been on my blog for so long. The joys that come with having a new born is that you don't get to spend much time on your own unless he is having a nap or late at night when he is asleep. I thought I would take this opportunity to catch up while he is napping. Well just to let you know our little man was born on the 1st July 2011. We named him Levi David Wong. He is such a delightful little baby. Not a cry baby, thank goodness for that. I guess if he was it would have driven me insane. He only tends to cry when he needs something, so it makes life a little bit easier for me.

My Inspiration....

This is me at the moment. This photo was taken when I was 33 weeks pregnant. At the moment I am 38 weeks. This bump has given me so much inspiration to get back into being as creative as I could possibly be. When I found out I was having a baby my family and some close friends were the only ones to know until I was 3 months. My cousin bought me a book called Sustainable Baby by Debbie Hodgson. It is such a good read for mum's to be who want to 'consume less and live better.' I was really inspired by this book to make and create things for my baby. I started off by finding a free pattern on the internet to make my own cloth nappies. Oh they were such a delight to make.... I ended up making 14 of them. So my baby is going have the cutest bum ever. I received a cot wool duvet inner with no cover.... So I decided to make a duvet cover. I couldn't help myself. I started thinking of decorating the room with little things that I made starting with the curtains. That was easy because I work at a fabric, crafty shop that has all the supplies that I could possibly need. I customized the curtains by adding buttons all along the bottom. Hard work, but a lot of fun. I'm sure baby will appreciate it. It can always be changed at a later stage. I'll enjoy choosing what I want for the room while I have the chance. I painted little wall hangings using embroidery rings to display it, tied with a ribbon(I hung them on the inside of the cot for now). And the last piece that I have made is a painting of me holding my belly with a verse saying, "Every good and perfect gift comes from above..." James 1:17 I am looking forward to the little one's arrival. I will keep you posted.

PURE BEAUTY...

I love this image... once again a found image. It just has a peaceful sense about it. It seems to hold a lot of memory, yet it also makes me feel like wanting to be out and about enjoying nature. Dancing amongst the trees :)

A few of my Favourite things...

Hi everyone. I wanted to start off by sharing just a few of the things that I would classify as my favourite. I have a thing for butterflies. They are just so beautiful and free and it doesn't matter what they are made with/of, they always seem to look so pretty.
These are not my works. These are found images that I have collected and are always pinned to my notice board.
Thank you to those who create such beautiful pieces that can be appreciated by others and in turn inspire others to be creative.
