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!

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

one hour

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

would love to know if you will be joining in tonight? we usually light some candles & sit & read or chat while our girls are sound asleep! what about you?

An Easter Stitch 'n' Biatch!

A few of the "I can't sew" turned "sewing goddess" gals from my mothers group came around today to assist with a little Easter project!

At 14-16 months our bubs are still a little young for chocolate, so when I spotted an idea from this blog to make little bunny softies instead, I had to pinch it!

With coffee and a few of these sugary delights to fuel the creative fire, we set to work:

We set up a little production line, with two of us cutting, pinning and stuffing, and the other two sewing. For such a simple design, it's amazing the 'unique' shapes we managed to create! Using old bits of scrap fabric, we also added little bells inside the softies along with wadding for a bit of fun. Here's the girls hard at work:

While we sewed, our bubs ran around the house like ~~little ferals~~ angels:

... and Fern 'helped' with fabric selection:

And the finished product? It turned out a little something like this!

Cant wait for our Easter Bunny scramble next week, it'll be so much fun!

Have a great weekend.... x
