Easter Fun!
I've noticed in the last couple of years that Easter isn't really that special anymore. A lot of people don't celebrate it or treat it like a special holiday. We treat Easter exactly like Christmas. Its a special day to remember and celebrate with our family and friends. Each year, just like Christmas, we have a huge breakfast at my mums place. We celebrate with a beautiful breakfast and enjoy just being together. Here is our special Easter Sunday

My Easter Tree 2011
My Easter Tree
As usual I was running around at the last minute before Easter trying to get my table and food looking the best I could. So, apologies for my Easter posts coming after Easter, but hey I think the tree could be cute wedding table decor.
I love Easter trees and have made several over the years. From the bird-filled one of 2009 or last year's cherry blossom sprigs in a vase. This year I wanted to make my Easter tree look like a mini potted tree. After gathering a couple of handfuls of twigs in the local woods I used a similar method to my Halloween tree but this time doing it in soft pastel shades of green.
I also wanted to add flowers and went for making my own paper ones so I could match the colours perfectly to my Easter colour palette. I then hung hand painted butterflies, hand decorated eggs and handmade birds, all in my Easter colours. Unfortunately I ran out of time and only finished a couple of my birds (free pattern and how-to coming soon!). I think the fabric birds would look cute around the house at any time of year!

In the Moment - Luna Park
Our second week of school holidays were wonderful - loads of sunshine and a trip to Sydney's iconic Luna Park. I know I have said it before but we are so blessed to live in truly such a spectacular city.
There is no better way than being in the moment than a ride on the ferris wheel or speeding on the dodgem cars - I hope you enjoy some pictures of Luna Park with the beautiful backdrop of the Sydney Harbour on a crystal clear autumn day.
I have decided to join a few link parties so come and visit
