Oh Happy Day Ma

Ma's birthday today, yep - of all days this year it falls on Father's day (again).

Soothing

Wishing you all a soothing weekend...
I was looking forward to making this custom garland because the colours sounded like they would be lovely together - and they are - pale green, pale peach, cream and kraft for a little one's baptism.

Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies and a pink heart for my besties little one's 4th birthday party. Yum! Recipe from Hummingbird Bakery cookbook. Who knew sugar cookies and royal icing could be so crispy delicious?

DIY

Lots of visitors and DIY last weekend. This one will be a quiet one.

More Tart & A Broken Heart

Craft Machine

What a freezing, windy and wet weekend. Mr and I huddled up at home with our newly working fireplace (pic 5). We drank coffee, cooked toast, scratched together lunch and I spent most of Saturday afternoon making a chocolate tart while Mr was trying to finish off a uni assignment. On Sunday I spent the day drinking more coffee, eating left over chocolate tart and crafting together some custom orders (garlands galore, orange & gold heart art and finished off a hand painted wedding banner). Mr is still battling with that assignment.

Pale Heart

A pastel heart for a little girls' room, custom made and packed ready to post.

Update

Top: Square HeART, New Orleans
Bottom: Sun Dial, Diamonds (sold)

New Lingo

Lots of new things. Flower Bomb perfume saving for the W Day. Yep, read a few bridal mags (I said I never would) and that's what it is - the W-Day. Speak to the celebrant and when the W is everyday the Bride and Groom are the B&G...learning the lingo.

Mr made a pew/bench for our dining table in time for our Sunday Roast (which I looove) and I made some new art...hard-edged hearts. That's one against the window in pic 2.

Custom Made

I'm always interested to see how custom requests will turn out and I am always so pleasantly surprised by the colour combos I would never have otherwise tried.

Bunting Cards

Hello lovelies, I have made a range of bunting cards and they are in the shop now. Wouldn't they make cute kids party invites with cake bunting to match? Check out the shop or convo me for custom cards. Even just one framed would be adorable (and cheap) art.

Love in a Jar

I am not a lover of the shape of a heart. I like stars and crowns. I love wreaths. I like spots and squares and chevrons. I don't like hearts. Never have. From the outset for anything to do with my upcoming nuptials (what a terrible word) the rule has been no hearts.  But then I bought these little gems and couldn't resist sandwiching them together with neon thread.

I call them 'love in a jar'.  Whenever Mr goes out to get something he asks me "do you want me to bring anything back for you?" Every time I ask "can you bring me back some love in a jar?"

Of course he never has so I made it myself.

Weekend Loving

A story to follow.

Pop By and Visit

Hellooo, some random pics from last week. A peachy ball garland in the shop now and inside is a practice of a placecard for the wedding - it didn't make the cut. I made a Donna Hay coffee cake, it was actually REALLY average. Not nearly enough coffee and pretty dry. We ate the whole thing of course. Lastly, a bunting mothers day card. These were really cute, I might add some to the shop. Pop by and visit.

Cake :: The Way to My Heart

Limited edition hearts in the shop now. Four colours to choose from.
