Sweet Dreams

Finally finished!!! After a month and a half of work (slow) I have transformed a bed that was destined for the scrap heap.
I found this wonderful plain teak bed on the side of the road for curbside pick up and thought it looked nice. Only problem was it didn't have bolts or slats but after a few trips to Bunnings I had all my supplies. So I started sanding the bed and then the mouse sander died and had to continue by hand. I then painted of few areas pink and then 4 coats of sage green later we have a painted bed. After this I rubbed back the areas of pink and a few other edges, to give it that shabby sheek look, and coated it twice with polyurethane to stand up to a three year old.
I found the word at Spotlight and gave it a few coats of pink, I really love using spray paint, and just blue tacked it on so if she wants to change it years down the track it's no prob.
I really love this bed and so does the little princess who sleeps in it and I'm so proud of the work it's the first time I tackled something so big :)


 

 

 

First days and cupcakes.

All the first days have happened now for my two girls. Next week it's my turn, starting TAFE on monday and doing 3 full days a week!!!! I can't wait for Alice to get home and find out how her day went :)

I think I must admit I have a cupcake problem! I LOVE making them and after making I can't even eat them :( I did the pink ones for Sages birthday and the others she took to school on the first day for all her class.

Upcycled.

I whipped up this little number for my youngest last night for a party today. It is made from all upcycled material and the lace is from my mother's sewing box so it could be as old as me and some vintage buttons to finish it off. It's so cute on I will take a photo later as she will probably be wearing it all day and night (she LOVES it!). Have a great weekend everyone :)

Red velvet.

I finally made some red velvet cupcakes.
I just love the look of these little cakes they are so different and I have been wanting to make them for some time. I made a dozen yesterday morning and by evening there was only 3 left, they must be good.

My car :)

Just so you can have a little giggle. This is my new car but look at me feet!!!!! LOL!!!!
We didn't notice this until the picture was uploaded onto the computer it was a pure fluke!

The start of 2012.

WOW summer has finally arrived with long hot days but some lovely mild evenings. With holidays upon us we decided to pile in the car and go for a drive to Wisemans Ferry.

This is looking down onto Wisemans Ferry. It looked so peaceful from up there and with the binoculars you could see heaps!

Alice loved the wattle and wanted to bring it in the car but pretty little yellow pom poms kept falling off so it was a big no in the new car.

Sage just loves seeing new places and being in the great outdoors.

The next day we went to the bike track out at Clarendon so the girls could burn off some more energy as well as Dee (the dog).

All were super tired after a walk and then swing in the park but wonderful Nanny turned up with cold drinks and fruit for a quick snack.
I am really enjoying these school holidays and I know there is only 4 weeks till Sage is back at school and I'm off to TAFE so I plan to do lots of fun things with my beautiful (I think so!) girls and my precious little Dee (the dog :).

New Bows!

Something new that was fun to do! I have these beautiful bows for sale on facebook. They are about 8cm wide and are on an alligater clip.

Hello is there anybody out there? I am getting great feedback from my facebook site but nothing from here just wondering if there is anybody out there? Can anyone give me tips on how to increase my following, I do post on other pages sometimes but they never come and follow me and I don't post often cause I think no one reads it. I am loving facebook at the moment just got 10 more likers in one day after doing one night of promoting myself. I better go and make dinner and get of the computer so I can put the girls to bed. Have a good weekend all!

Boys designs

I have started work on the designs for the boys tees as promised. Here are the first few please let me know what you think especially if you have boys, they are for sizes 000-5, I will take all comments on board. Thanks so much and hope everyone out in blogger land has a great and happy New Year.

Merry Christmas :)

Merry Christmas everyone hope you all had a wonderful day and are now relaxing on boxing day. We had a lovely day and the kids enjoyed their presents and I think are still running on sugar. I am now looking forward to the sales tomorrow and especially spotlight that starts at 10am, hoping to grab a few bargains. I will post some photos soon of my new dog with raindeer antlers on and, if they turn out, Sage as an angel at church she was very cute and so well behaved. Well it's time for a coffee so off I must go Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, God bless and all my love blogger buddies :)
