Design a wooden egg cup

What Easter breakfast table would be complete without egg cups for your freshly boiled eggs! As I didn't have any egg cups that went with my colour theme I recently purchased the design a wooden egg cups and have started painting them in the pastel colour paints I used to decorate my Easter bird houses last year. This year I am having guests for afternoon tea at Easter so I was thinking of putting chocolate eggs in mine, but I also love Martha's idea of putting flowers or candles in the empty egg shells.

I hope to finish painting my egg cups soon and I will post the pics up here.

Have a sweet day!

Easter Gifts

We have been busy making little easter gifts to give out to class mates at school and pre-school. Thanks to the lovely designs by Kim at The Tomkat Studio our project has been made so much prettier!

We made little favour bags with gummy bunnies and chocolate eggs all topped with a little tag from Kims Bunny Love Easter Collection. Check it out here.

Magical bunny necklace

Look how cute the bunny necklace is from the new "Dolly" range for mini Anna Lou ladies - a great alternative to chocolate for an Easter gift.

I thought my London-based web readers might want to know that Anna Lou is holding a Flash Sale at Anna Lou on Wednesday 31st March 2010.

useful finds

while wondering around a church fete recently my husband spotted these wooden embroidery hoops & suggested I would be able to use them! he sure is on the ball!! they were a bargain @ $3 so I took them home & used some of my favourite Amy Butler fabric to make them pieces of art. I also displayed the fabric in some frames to add some more interest. They are sitting among my favourite things in my creative space.

9 Months

Wow, where did that month go! Indi is now 9 months and are gorgeous as ever! Here are her 9 month photos - this means I only have 3 months to plan for the next birthday party in our house - there are so many different ways I could go with this party but I must decided on the theme soon so I don't get side tracked!

Point + Shoot : 8

Its point and shoot time again....

We got to help my beautiful sister in law to be celebrate her Hen's Night this weekend (and my head is still sore).

I love a girls bonding session and not much tops a Hen's for that. It was a full day affair beginning with a special breakfast and Make-up session, followed by a lunch function filled with yummy food, drinkies, dancing and games (including the one in this photo - dont you love putting someone on the spot and watching them squirm). Then we headed into city for some Karaoke and a little more dancing...

The Wedding countdown can now begin, and as a Bridesmaid, I am very much looking forward to watching my Brother marry his soul mate...

Here are a few more of the G-rated photos
