Ballet & Rocking Horses

Yesterday the little guy, the big guy and myself went to watch our neice Miss I's first ballet concert. We are so proud of her - she did a great job on stage and remembered all of her steps. She looked super cute in her leotard and tutu and so grown up.

Then we travelled across Sydney to see our beautiful friends E & A's gorgeous Miss G be christened. It was such a lovely ceremony and beautiful celebration with a rocking horse theme following:



This is the gift I made which was hidden in the pink polka wrapping:




I'd played around with these birth day certificates before for other gifts - simply framing in a standard frame and putting in a small scrap album with a few embelishments - but this was my first attempt at using a box frame so I could use some 3-d embelishments. I'm so happy with the result and very pleased that Miss G's parents love what I had created for her.

Quiet day today as I woke up to a shocking cold that I knew I was coming down with yesterday so its off to bed for me.

(Again I know my photos are not the best - new camera is still on my wish list!)

Busy, busy, busy!

Busy, busy, busy! That definitely describes my life right now. Busy weekend as we were out 3 of the 4 nights of the long weekend then on Tuesday we got to visit our brand new 'neice' Layali (isn't that a beautiful name?) - 2nd daughter of our fab friends N & Z. She is so tiny and cute and almost exactly the same weight etc as our little guy was born at.

And speaking of new babies - here are some of pics of photo album gifts I have been making recently for the new babies in our lives:

Hopefully I have some time to do some more crafting next week as we are off to visit my sister and her family this weekend.

Personalised Canvas Board with Mini Pegs

Here is a sneak peek at two personalised canvas boards with mini pegs I have been working on this week (sore back and all) for Master B and Miss A's birthdays. More photos to come after Master B and Miss A receive their presents (don't want to give too much away in case their mum is reading my blog!).






(again excuse my poor photography)

Happy Mother's Day

Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day. Here is an accordian album I made for our little man as part of his gift to Grandma. This is my first attempt at this little craft project and I am very happy with the way it turned out. And of course I had to include one of my lovely polka dot ribbons!

I was well and truly spoiled by my little guy and his daddy and we had a lovely dinner out with family. What a gorgeous Sunday - the weather was perfect.

More crafty projects to come this week as I make some birthday gifts for a spunky little boy and his adorable sister.
