A NEW LOOK!

Ive been thinking about the way my style and my design aesthetic has been changing since i started crafting and the Blog was definitely in need of an update.

Im trying to avoid anything too "Kidsy" now, everyone is doing it and there really isnt much money in it at the local markets. Ive found my paper art and mobiles have been the most popular and my artistic tendancys have me leaning toward doing more artistic ideas and concepts for my latest projects.........I just have to get my head around a new way of thinking and creating.

In the mean time I have my new Hipstamtic to keep me entertained and whose lovley photoness I have to thank for my cool new blog header...............what do you think?

Anyone else discovered Hipstamatic yet? Its so COOL!

Easter Escapades

Just a few pics of my Easter Long Weekend.
A quiet and lovley restful time which i sorely needed.

• Made Cakes
• Admired flowers bought for me by My Love (2 Bunches if you please!)
• Watched documentarys
• Cleaned
• Walked on the beach and around my neighbourhood ( P.S. How cool is my local Cinema and the FUNKY patchwork building?!)
• Made a Winter Picnic Kit (sans Picnic)
• Made a cardboard tree, then in a moment of genius decided to hot glue driftwood to it..........half way done and LOVING it!
• Continued crocheting HUGE stripey floor cushion cover.

Hope you all had as nice a weekend as i did.

Happy Bunny Day

Happy Easter From Me and my very own little Easter Bunny.

This is Mr Issaac Mendez Esq, Issaac is a velveteen mini lop, he has been the light of our lives now for over 3 years and fills our lives with bunny cuddles, giggles and to cute for words moments.
He asked me to put this early photo of him up as he's a but podgier these days and uncomfortable about his looks. He spends his days free roaming around our apartment, chewing cardboard, digging the carpet and running in and out of every possible tunnel like structure he finds .

He is our Chocolate Easter Bunny, and its Easter all year round with a bunny in the house!

Party Styling

I had my first taste of Event Styling yesterday and it went off without a hitch.

The location: Avalon Sailing Club on Sydneys Northern Beaches

The Theme: Nautical - Of Course

The Occasion: My Parents 30th wedding anniversary.

The Sailing club is a beautiful old wooden building, free from any modern pretentions right on the waterfront. A perfect Location for a party, and my family have been long time members there.

I strung over 50 paper lanterns in red, white and pale blue all over the ceiling, and set the tables with red, blue, yellow and striped fabric runners which i'd handmade myself. Table centerpieces were simple jars of sand with fun bright coloured flags handmade my me out of scrap papers, and the FABULOUS papier mache boats which i made using the pattern provided by the Incredible Ann Wood, they were such a hit, so a BIG thank you Ann, they were all snaffled up and taken home by appreciative family members and friends at the end of the night.

The final last minute touch (all credit to my mum!) was to frame the far window with some pale blue fabric (thanks to the single bed sheets which sacrificed thier lives) and make it a focal point, the light shining through it looked gorgeous!

I also brought lots of cushion, throw and chairs for the balcony and even set up a little fishing station and chill out spots on the massive deck below, unfortunately i forgot to take pics of these but they topped it all off.
